ANN ARBOR, Mich. - Michimich -- CIMdata, Inc., the leading global PLM strategic management consulting and research firm, announces that its President & CEO, Peter Bilello, will make a keynote address at the upcoming Global Product Data Interoperability Summit's (GPDIS) 2021 virtual event. The presentation, "The Keys to Successful Transformation," will occur on Thursday, 16 September. CIMdata is a GPDIS partner along with The Boeing Company, Elysium, Northrop Grumman, Parker, and PDES.

As industrial enterprises dig themselves out of the latest set of disruptions, long-accepted views of product lifecycle management (PLM) are seen as being inadequate. Complexities, risks, and opportunities that have been downplayed, or ignored, are being tackled on the factory floor, in the field, in the executive suite, and everywhere in between. The result is a massive upheaval. Among the impacts are how enterprises operate, how they expect to prosper, and even how they view themselves and their core competencies. With increasing urgency, leadership and management teams demand speed-ups in their digital transformations to sharpen their competitive edge.
