CIMdata Publishes New White Paper “Global Product Development”

ANN ARBOR, Mich. - Aug. 26, 2014 - PRLog -- CIMdata, Inc., the leading global PLM strategic management consulting and research firm announces a new white paper examining the key capabilities necessary for global product development and PTC Global Product Development solution’s matching features.


Geographically distributed engineering, design, and manufacturing teams position a company to satisfy product demand across international markets. The strategic advantages of global product development (GPD) are many, but often there are no recommendations for the specific processes, tools, and functional capabilities necessary to accomplish effective GPD. Seven key areas have been identified as essential to achieve competency. This paper takes a deeper look at and highlights both the tactical capabilities of each area as they benefit GPD and the PTC Global Product Development solution’s matching features.
