Additionally, the program provides candidates with intensive and extensive exposure to a team of CIMdata’s PLM experts. Upon completion of the program, each participant receives a CIMdata PLM Certificate and thereby becomes a member of CIMdata’s global PLM Leadership community.

According to Mr. Peter Bilello, CIMdata’s President, “The Ann Arbor program is the first in a series of six public programs scheduled for 2011. We are very happy with the program’s growth since the initial class, which was held in Helsinki, Finland in May 2009. After holding a significant number of successful programs in Europe, North America, and Asia, we now have provided PLM Leadership certificates to over 50 program participants. This represents a major milestone for this one of a kind educational offering.”

PLM Certificate Program participants can now register online for either the 3-day or complete 5-day program. This certificate program is available to industrial companies who are considering or implementing PLM, and to PLM technology and service solution supplier personnel. The CIMdata PLM Certificate Program is built on CIMdata’s more than 25 years of extensive worldwide experience guiding industrial companies in successfully defining and implementing best-in-class PLM strategies and tactics.
