Replay Webinar About our Speaker
2020 has been an interesting year. Tariffs, trade wars, the pandemic, and the U.S. election created business pressure and uncertainty. Much of which has driven weaker companies into distress and even bankruptcy. With low-interest rates and the many central banks boosting liquidity, getting money to invest and acquire companies is easier than ever, especially for companies with strong financials. CIMdata expects M&A to have a significant impact within industrial companies in the coming year, and perhaps longer.
For those on M&A integration teams, especially those responsible for enterprise solutions such as PLM and ERP, the challenges are often enormous. M&A can have a significant impact on people, process, and technology, whether the strategy is to rationalize, harmonize, or even ignore the enterprise solutions. Whether you work for the acquirer or the acquiree, it is likely a stressful time and an event that makes your job more complicated. Data migration, technology rationalization, process harmonization, and organizational change management are key areas to include in an integration plan.
This presentation will identify common M&A scenarios and review strategies and tactics to mitigate the negative impacts and leverage the positive ones.
Executives, directors, and managers responsible for product development, manufacturing, quality, and service. PLM team leaders, PLM team members, product managers, IT leadership & staff, solution providers, and anyone who wants to learn about how to manage PLM when M&A happens.
During the webinar you’ll also have the opportunity to ask questions about the topics discussed.
The Guide is designed to help potential PLM users evaluate the applicability and payoffs of PLM in their enterprise, and to help existing users of PLM monitor the impact it is having on their product programs.
