What Previous Attendees Have Said About Our Workshops

"The workshop highlighted the value of PLM through improved Vault item management and centralized visibility. Having everything in one system enables better collaboration, allows contributors to participate without internal system upgrades, and removes barriers for outside vendors—requiring nothing additional on their end—while helping us work more efficiently and effectively. "

- Jeff, Mechanical Design Engineer

"The presentations were informative, concise, and not drawn out, which made the sessions easy to stay engaged with.

 

 

 

 

 

- Jordan, Drafting & Design

"I hadn't been introduced to PLM prior to the workshop. It was great to see the capabilities it offers and seeing all of the ways we could implement within our organization to streamline processes not only internal to our department but within the entire company. "

 

 

- Elizabeth, Drafting Advisor
