ANN ARBOR, Mich. - Michimich -- CIMdata, Inc., the leading global PLM strategic management consulting and research firm, announces that the PLM Certificate Standard Program® will be offered this coming December as part of the firm's Virtual-Live PLM Certificate Program offerings.

Early in 2020, CIMdata added the virtual-live PLM Certificate Core Program to its PLM Leadership curriculum. This move provided a way for the broader PLM community to experience CIMdata's world-class PLM education opportunities without leaving the office or plant. That need still exists; however, many PLM Professionals seek to enhance their PLM education and have asked CIMdata to offer its de facto industry standard PLM Certificate Standard Program as a virtual-live program.
