ANN ARBOR, Mich. - April 8, 2014 - PRLog -- CIMdata, Inc., the leading global PLM consulting and research firm announces that its annual PLM Road Map will take place on October 2. The event will be held at The Inn at St. John’s, Plymouth, Michigan, located just outside of Detroit. Now in its twenty-first year, this event brings together leading industry experts from CIMdata, key industry players, and front-line implementation experts who will explore end users’ progress, opportunities, and road blocks.

The theme for this year’s conference is “PLM-Enabled Continuous Product Development and Delivery for the Automotive & Transportation Industry and Supply Chain.” Having listened to the needs of industrial users and the preferences of solution providers alike, PLM Road Map 2014 will be the first in a series of right-sized, one-day, content-rich conferences.

Speakers at PLM Road Map 2014 will provide examples from automotive and other industries that highlight the people, processes, and technology challenges in moving toward a more fluid and integrated continuous product development and delivery model.

Central to the mission of PLM Road Map is encouraging the continuous collaboration and synergistic innovation between all members of the PLM ecosystem, including industrial users, subject matter experts, software providers, consulting services firms, industrial and academic institutes, system integrators, and market analysts—all of whom are partners in realizing the vision and value of PLM, especially in the emerging, more sustainable circular economy.

To support this collaborative mission, CIMdata is making a limited number of conference sponsorship opportunities available to PLM software and service providers.
