ANN ARBOR, Mich. - TelAve -- CIMdata, Inc., the leading global research, consulting, and education firm specializing in Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) and the Digital Transformation it enables, announces the expansion of its industry-leading PLM Certificate Program. In response to the evolving needs of the global industrial sector, CIMdata's assessment-based certificate programs are now available through a Virtual Live Classroom format, complementing its traditional In-Person classes.
In today's complex Digital Thread landscape, where strategic missteps can result in significant financial losses, the need for expert-led, solution-provider-neutral education has never been higher. By introducing the Virtual Live Classroom option, CIMdata ensures that PLM professionals worldwide can access the same comprehensive strategic insights and direct expert guidance that have defined the program for over a decade, regardless of geographical or travel constraints.

"The CIMdata PLM Certificate Program is not a passive online course; it is an intensive, real-time experience," says CIMdata's president and CEO, Peter Bilello. "By offering a Virtual Live Classroom format, we are providing the same direct access to our senior consultants and the same collaborative workshop environment our clients expect, but with the flexibility required by today's global leadership." Mr. Bilello went on to state that "CIMdata has been working with the PLM industry for over 40 years. Our consulting services and research expertise are known and respected around the world for their best practice-based content. CIMdata's educational offerings draw on this vast knowledge and experience."

This expanded offering maintains the rigorous standards of the in-person class that have made it the industry benchmark for PLM education:

• Live Expert Access: Participants interact in real-time with CIMdata's senior consultants—the same experts advising Fortune 500 companies.
• Actionable Strategy Frameworks: Both in-person and Virtual Live Classroom attendees utilize CIMdata's proven strategic frameworks and roadmaps to drive consensus and decision-making.
• Solution-Provider-Neutral Curriculum: The program remains the industry's most comprehensive, unbiased education offering, focusing on best practices rather than specific software solutions.
• The Elite Network: Graduates join a global community of PLM leaders, fostering ongoing support and collaboration across industries.

The CIMdata PLM Leadership Certificate is designed for PLM professionals at industrial organizations and solution providers who are responsible for driving their company's digital strategy. Upon successful completion of the assessment-based program, participants receive a Certificate of PLM Leadership and up to 3 CEUs.
