Free Webinar on the Importance of Data Governance in the Development of Complex Products

This webinar will consider what drives data governance within a complex product development organization.

ANN ARBOR, Michigan, USA 12 July 2023—CIMdata, Inc., the leading global PLM strategic management consulting and research firm, announces an upcoming free educational webinar, “Complex Product Development Demands Data Governance.” The webinar will take place on Thursday, 10 August 2023, at 11:00 a.m. (EDT) and will last for one hour.

Companies developing complex products containing embedded software face increasing pressures for innovation, maturity, coordination, and time-to-market. Historically in mass production companies, the important data items are managed in Product Lifecycle Management (PLM), which caters to mechanical and electrical engineering for products and their factories. Application Lifecycle Development (ALM) tools cater to software and systems engineering, mapping features to customer requirements. Development pressure fosters thinking and acting in discipline and domain silos, worsening data sharing and knowledge exchanges. More than ever, it is important that ALM and PLM cooperate. Consistency is needed in the terms and language they use for products; that is where data governance comes in.

This webinar will consider what drives data governance needs within a complex product development environment.

Attendees at this webinar will:

• Learn why Data Governance is needed now.
• Understand what drives Data Governance needs within a complex product development organization.
• Understand what it takes to secure executive “buy-in” for Data Governance.
• Understand Data Governance’s value proposition.

According to Janie Gurley, CIMdata’s Data Governance Practice Director and a host for this webinar, “Companies developing complex products with embedded software face increasing pressures to innovate, ensure product maturity, coordinate effectively, and expedite time-to-market. Data governance plays a vital role in facilitating harmonious integration, establishing consistency in terms and language used for products.”

Anyone responsible for data governance and/or product development will find this webinar interesting.
