On-going research on enterprise innovation management

ANN ARBOR, Michigan, 10 March 2014—CIMdata, Inc., the leading global PLM strategic management consulting and research firm announces a new research effort on enterprise innovation management (EIM), a key set of solutions and strategies that are helping global companies bridge the chasm between corporate strategy and purposeful action across a wide spectrum of business operations. EIM helps link company strategy to execution leveraging a range of other enterprise solutions, including ERP, PLM, CRM, enterprise asset management (EAM), and program/portfolio management.

As part of this effort, CIMdata and Sopheon, a leading provider of EIM solutions, are collaborating on primary research about how companies are ensuring strategic business alignment including a survey on this important topic.

Survey participants will receive a summary report on the study results. For more information on the survey, please see http://www.CIMdata.com/innovation.
