CIMdata to Participate in the Global Product Data Interoperability Summit’s Virtual Event

CIMdata’s President & CEO will make a keynote address on the key components for a successful transformation.

ANN ARBOR, Michigan, USA 11 August—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.

At GPDIS, Peter Bilello will present CIMdata’s Critical Dozen as a way of illustrating why many companies are finding their digital journey so tricky. The Critical Dozen represents 12 familiar, evolving trends and enablers of digital transformation that you cannot or should not live without.

Mr. Bilello has over 30 years of experience developing business-enabling IT solutions for research, engineering, and manufacturing organizations worldwide. He has participated in PLM analysis, selection, implementation, and training; CAD/CAM/CAE/CIM implementation and management; synchronous and lean manufacturing consulting; software engineering; and general data management strategy development and support. He has authored numerous papers and research reports on PLM and related topics, and his articles, commentaries, and perspectives appear in publications throughout the Americas, Europe, and Asia.

GPDIS will take place virtually over 5-half days on September 13-17. Those interested in attending the Event from an industrial company may do so for free courtesy of Platinum Sponsor, Vertex. To learn more about the event and to register, visit https://gpdisonline.com/registration/.
