CIMdata evaluates PLM-market in 2010 and gives optimistic forecasts

isicad is proud of its fruitful contacts with CIMdata established at least in 2006 when Ken Amann, at that time - Director of Research at CIMdata, as a keynote speaker, participated in the Second International Multi-vendor isicad Forum in Novosibirsk. Since that time isicad.ru has multiply published in Russian summaries from CIMdata global reports and other materials that contributed to the PLM awareness and progress of the Russia & CIS market.

In March (USA) and April (Europe), CIMdata has held (and will in May hold in Japan) its PLM Global Vendor Forums where in particular presented its comprehensive analysis of the state, trends, and forecasts of the world PLM market. CIMdata has kindly provided isicad with the full presentations and permitted us to publish our own summary, comments, and conclusions that probably give to many readers a rather clear impression of what, according to CIMdata, PLM is today and will be tomorrow.

As far as I understand, until now CIMdata has published only a brief press-release about the Vendors Forums, therefore I hope that the isicad article "CIMdata evaluates PLM-market in 2010 and gives optimistic forecasts" prepared by Vladimir Malukh, will be useful for many readers.

Autodesk becomes a PLM Solution Supplier? What about Digital Prototyping from DS?

CIMdata has just released a program review called “Autodesk’s Evolution as a PLM Solution Supplier”. For a long time, isicad portal has been convincing Autodesk:) to enter the PLM club: this was one of the reasons for us to publish a summary of the review in Russian.

Now take a look at the fundamental DS slide which illustrates the company evolution:

If you pay less attention to “PLM 2.0” than to “3D life-like experience, Realistic Simulation, Collaborative Innovation…”, all this looks like advanced digital prototyping. I found it funny to imagine that Autodesk and DS can someday exchange their marketing accents…

COFES-Russia Seminar and Multi-vendor Forum isicad-2010 in Moscow

COFES, the Congress On the Future of Engineering Software, a world known leading CAD/PLM-related event needs no introduction. I am therefore happy that Cyon Research announced its first COFES Russia Seminar which will be held September 14, 2010 in Moscow, Russia in partnership with LEDAS.

The Cyon Research info says: COFES has historically focused on creating an environment where the strength of our community takes precedence over our individual needs to sell, and where c-level executives can openly discuss the important issues facing business today. COFES Russia Seminar will bring together senior executives from firms in manufacturing, construction, and design to discuss innovation in the face of the current economic situation both globally and within Russia and the CIS.

The COFES Russia Seminar will be a part of isicad-2010 forum organized by LEDAS Ltd., see its tentative agenda at http://cofes.com/Russia (English) and http://isicad.ru/2010 (Russian).
Isicad, the biennial forum organized by LEDAS Ltd., is a recognizable brand for the Russian IT-community. Isicad-2010 is the fourth event in the line and will take place in Moscow on September 14, 2010 under the theme “CAD and PLM as tools of innovative economics”.

isicad Forums were held in 2004, 2006, and 2008 in Novosibirsk, Russia as multi-vendor conferences that brought together hundreds of regional CAD/PLM customers, practically all key CAD/PLM/ERP vendors operating in Russia, students, media, and others. One of the articles about isicad-2008 was called “Forum isicad: no analogues besides COFES”.

I am proud that the isicad Forums were attended by thousands of industrial customers, top managers from Autodesk, ASCON, Dassault Systemes (incl. the company founder Francis Bernard), HP, Microsoft, Oracle, PTC, Siemens PLM Software, Sun Microsystems, world-recognized academics (such as Dominique Miccelucci, R.
