CIMdata Publishes eBook: “Digital Transformation: Driving Competitive Advantage”

ANN ARBOR, Michigan, USA 11 May 2021—CIMdata, Inc., the leading global PLM strategic management consulting and research firm, announces the publication of a new eBook that defines digital transformation and why it has become imperative for manufacturing enterprises. The eBook identifies the characteristics of initiatives, solutions, and technologies required for successful digital transformation. How Autodesk enables digital transformation, and an illustrative case study of how one customer is using Autodesk solutions to transform their business are also presented.

Manufacturers of all sizes are facing increased complexity amid continually evolving customer and market requirements. Customers are demanding smarter, more connected, and eco-friendlier products and solutions tailored to their unique needs and that are often able to operate autonomously. Additionally, technology is evolving and converging rapidly and must be incorporated into products and business processes faster than ever. Creating and sustaining business success requires executives in companies of all sizes to have maximum flexibility and leverage on their technology and product investments to improve business performance and profitability to shorten product development time and get the right products to market. Businesses must quickly and effectively deal with change—change in product, change in production, change in service, and change in customer demands and expectations. Meeting this array of challenges requires companies to digitally transform their businesses.

Mr. Ken Amann, Executive Consultant, CIMdata, stated that “Successful companies must digitally transform their businesses to create and sustain their competitive advantage, as well as to build customer and brand loyalty, or fall victim to competitors that are transforming their businesses. Successful digital transformation is more than just digitizing information—it requires a change in how a business operates, eliminating information silos, and creating a digital thread that spans the value network. Autodesk is providing effective solutions that support their customers with their digital transformation initiatives.”

“There is no one model of digital transformation that fits every business. Our structure, products, and offering facilitates a partnership approach. It enables the customer to define their scope, their pace, and their journey; to define where to start and where they want to go,” said Mr. Karl Osti, Industry Manager at Autodesk.
