Oxford, England. August 22, 2017 -- The discussions about how PLM could become more like a recognised profession have now been endorsed by PLM practitioners from 30 countries.

This is a tremendous geographical spread, and shows the extent of latent demand for the PLM industry to professionalise.

The countries represented so far are:-

If PLM professionalism can be established in 30 countries, then global engineering and manufacturing companies can be confident in staffing their PLM projects almost anywhere around the world. As individuals, it will help PLM practitioners to move forward through a structured, widely-respected career path.

PLM practitioners can now show their support for these aims by sending in a simple Statement of Intent Form. PLM practitioners from any type of company, in any country, can send in a Form to make their voice heard, and show industry leaders that change is needed.

Everyone who sends in a Form will receive a compilation of the results, including the direct comments and feedback.
