CIMdata’s Dr. Ken Versprille to Participate in a Webinar on How Digital Thread Initiatives Can Support Documentation Needs

The webinar will consider how to ease the burden placed on engineers to produce and review technical content.

ANN ARBOR, Michigan, USA 26 May 2021—CIMdata, Inc., the leading global PLM strategic management consulting and research firm, announces that Dr. Ken Versprille, Executive Consultant, will lead a discussion at an upcoming webinar entitled, “Documentation completing the Digital Thread.” The webinar, sponsored by Oberon Technologies, takes place on Wednesday, 23 June, at 1:00 p.m. EDT.

As part of their product design, manufacturing companies must manufacture and deliver a large volume of associated documentation ranging from product specifications to user manuals. Though there are many automated processes for engineers to collaborate on 3D CAD models and drawings, processes to share textual content are frequently less automated, relying on email exchanges of MSWord, PDF, or PowerPoint documents. The drain on the engineering staff to produce and review this technical content can be a burden and steal their time away from engineering tasks.

This webinar will look at solutions to eliminate the burden on subject-matter experts and documentation teams by allowing them to easily generate and review technical content, store it in a common PLM system, and associate it with other product data, thus completing the Digital Thread.

Attendees will:

• Learn how a collaborative content system can streamline product development.
• Understand why it’s important to make it easy for contributors to create XML content.
• Learn how you can use your PLM system to manage both product design and documentation data.
