Jan 10, 2024 | Books, Business

This presentation is part of CIMdata’s educational webinar series.

CIMdata February Educational Webinar

CIMdata February Educational Webinar

ANN ARBOR, Mich. – Jan. 9, 2024 – PRLog — CIMdata, Inc., the leading global PLM strategic management consulting and research firm, announces an upcoming free educational webinar, “AI & PLM: Beyond All the Hype.” The webinar will take place on Thursday, 8 February 2024, at 11:00 a.m. (EST) and will last for one hour.

Without a doubt, Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) is the innovation engine for product manufacturing businesses as it helps orchestrate the creation, maintenance, and reuse of digital assets central to developing new products and services. In recent years, the Internet of Things (IoT) has begun to foster end-to-end lifecycle connectivity in PLM, leading to unprecedented growth in structured and unstructured product-related data that can augment human intelligence through appropriate analysis.

As a result, we can now leverage the big data flowing within PLM and across adjacent enterprise solutions to explore new PLM-related Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications. This exploration promises to bring superior products and related services to markets faster and cheaper.

This free webinar will delve into the emergence of these transformative topics and more. Join us for an insightful discussion on how these advancements are shaping the future of PLM, bringing about a paradigm shift in how we conceive, develop, and bring products to market faster and more economically.

Attendees will:

  • Better understand AI’s place within a PLM environment.
  • Acquire practical insights on leveraging AI within a PLM context and discover its transformative potential.
  • Understand how AI can effectively manage and derive actionable insights from the overwhelming data deluge.
  • Learn how to demystify the world of AI and Machine Learning and gain a comprehensive understanding of their applications and benefits.
  • Be exposed to relevant analytics techniques and real-world use cases, providing a comprehensive understanding of AI’s practical applications.
  • Learn how to extract meaningful intelligence from PLM-related data, enhancing decision-making and strategic insights.
  • Discover how to become an innovator equipped with AI capabilities.

According to Peter Bilello, CIMdata’s President & CEO, “We hear a lot of hype related to AI. So, as PLM professionals, we must ask ourselves how real it is and whether it has a place within a PLM environment. The answer is yes. In fact, CIMdata fully supports the exploration and adoption of AI as part of enterprise digital transformation for realizing augmented intelligence capability in PLM through its frameworks.”

People from multiple levels of an organization will find the information in this webinar pertinent and valuable. Executives responsible for PLM initiatives, those responsible for digital transformation, PLM team leaders, PLM team members, PLM users, product managers, IT leadership, PLM solution providers, or anyone else who wants to understand AI trends and status within the global PLM industry will benefit from attending.

WCA Presents a Webinar on Phone Power Collections

Jun 2, 2023 | Business

 Many people believe personal contact via phone is the most effective way to improve collections. True or false? True. When contacting a customer in person or by phone, speaking to them, gives the customer a sense of sincerity and commitment to solving their problem as to why they are not paying. This assumes the customer is not using your company as a bank, on the verge of bankruptcy/ bankrupt but just not happy with your company’s goods or services. Phone Power Collections/ Six step process shows the collector the holistic approach to collection throughout the organization (all departments) working together to improve cash flow and reduce over dues. The holistic approach to collections allows the collector to become intimately familiar with the products or services sold.

This Webinar will be held on June 21, 2023 at 9:00 AM Central Time. At the low cost of one registration fee ($65/$79) (one phone/internet connection), as many people as you wish in your office can view the Webinar. Easy-to-follow instructions will be sent with your meeting confirmation.

CIMdata to Host Free Webinar on Meeting Sustainability & Green Energy Objectives

Mar 16, 2023 | Books, Business

This free educational webinar will share findings from recent primary research undertaken by CIMdata.

CIMdata webinar on green energy & sustainability

CIMdata webinar on green energy & sustainability

ANN ARBOR, Mich. – March 15, 2023 – PRLog — CIMdata, Inc., the leading global PLM strategic management consulting and research firm, announces an upcoming free educational webinar, “Meeting Sustainability and Green Energy Transition Objectives: The industrial Perspective.” The webinar will take place on Thursday, April 27, 2023, at 11:00 a.m. (EDT) and last for one hour.

Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) is critical to accelerating the Green Energy transition. It enables companies to reduce their product carbon footprint (PCF) and design sustainability into their products, plants, and assets from the outset. This allows them to embed sustainability into their product lifecycle, thus eliminating waste and decarbonizing their products and services. Companies have a unique opportunity to embrace the transition with more sustainable circular processes that bring value to their customers, their bottom line, and the future of our planet, which, in turn, will benefit generations to come.

In this webinar, CIMdata will review the Green Energy Transition and Sustainability 2023 Survey results and present its view on how companies can reduce their PCF and use PLM to design more sustainable products to help organizations make their sustainability goals and net-zero commitments a reality.

This webinar will help attendees:

  • Learn about and understand CIMdata’s recent Green Energy Transition and Sustainability Survey results.
  • Understand the current state of the planet—GHG emissions, global warming, and why organizations are pursuing a transition to sustainability and a green economy.
  • Understand the importance of embedding sustainability within a PLM strategy.
  • Understand the importance of sustainable design and circularity.
  • Understand what a PCF is and why it is critical to companies transitioning to green.

According to CIMdata’s Sustainability & Green Energy Practice Director, Mark Reisig, “Many organizations that CIMdata works with have made ambitious “net-zero” commitments. However, they often lack a clear understanding of how to reduce their carbon footprint and offer more sustainable products. Sustainability should be embedded in your product data and your PLM strategy.”

Mark Reisig has over 40 years of experience in digital transformation, information technology, and engineering in the energy, aerospace, defense, automotive, industrial, shipbuilding, high-tech electronics, medical devices, and food & beverage industries. He has led digital initiatives in PLM, plant design, computer-aided design, and master data management for global businesses. Mark comes to CIMdata after an extensive career in PLM with GE, Federation, Oracle, Auto-trol Technology, Kraft-Heinz, Catalytic, Day & Zimmermann, and most recently, Aras, where he was the Vice President of Product Marketing.

This webinar will be helpful to anyone going through a green energy transition, including those in companies building or executing plans to reduce their GHG emissions and their product’s carbon footprint. Attendees can come from every part of the organization as sustainable products with reduced carbon footprints impact many areas, including product design, manufacturing, sourcing, logistics, service, operations, and supply.

During the webinar, attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions about the topics discussed.
