ANN ARBOR, Mich. - Michimich -- CIMdata, Inc., the leading global research, consulting, and education firm specializing in Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) and the Digital Transformation it enables, announces an upcoming free webinar, "Benchmarking AI in PLM: Launching the First Global Study on AI Adoption across Product Development." The webinar will take place on Thursday, 20 November 2025, at 11:00 a.m. (EST) and last for one hour.

Despite the dominance of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in every industry conversation, companies are facing a critical gap: there is no neutral, fact-based data to help industrial organizations understand how AI is actually being applied in PLM. This lack of objective benchmarking makes it nearly impossible for leaders to confidently assess their standing, validate investment priorities, or build reliable, forward-looking strategies.

In response, CIMdata is launching this first global study to benchmark AI across the front end of the product lifecycle—from concept through design, simulation, and manufacturing planning. This webinar introduces the methodology and scope for a multi-track research program, the first in a planned series. Industrial companies, software providers, and system integrators will be surveyed to establish the industry's first authoritative baseline on AI in PLM. It will also share some of the questions we are investigating, explain when the results will be available, and show you exactly how you can participate and gain essential insight from the findings.

"AI's potential to transform product development is clear, but the gap between hype and reality remains wide," says Peter Bilello, CIMdata's President and CEO. "This research seeks to cut through the noise to establish what's actually happening—where companies are succeeding, where they're struggling, and what gaps currently exist between what industrial clients need and what solution providers are delivering. For the first time, we'll have fact-based benchmarks to guide AI strategy across the PLM ecosystem."
