PDT 2010 will explore how standards such as STEP, PLCS and the recently completed STEP AP233 for Systems Engineering Data are impacting the implementation of next generation PLM systems. The efforts with PLM standards have shifted dramatically over the last few years from developing standards to implementation. Implementations include newer concepts like SOA and in addition provide means to address transformation/incorporation of legacy PLM systems.

Standards based PLM is no longer just for a small group of standards developers – it is in use at both strategic and tactical levels and covers the full life-cycle. It is now possible to gain control of your product data thanks to the open nature of the STEP standards. In addition implementations can benefit from mainstream office tools and infrastructure software like SharePoint aligning PLM more than ever to the corporate IS/IT infrastructure. Standards based PLM is for everyone and easy to use.

PDT 2010 is THE PLM event in 2010 for all those who want to know state of the art and best practice of standards based PLM. Join us to learn how to transform and improve not only what is inside your organization but also how your organization can prosper in the extended and virtual enterprise by data sharing in addition to data exchange. See what has been done to integrate with the suites from the leading PLM and ERP vendors as well as with other relevant standards.

Who should be sponsor of PDT Europe 2010
We are seeking sponsors who are challenged by this year’s theme and know they can deliver important parts to the complex puzzle. Sponsors will be seen as thought leaders and have the opportunity to interact with the delegates in a way that only PDT Europe can offer. PDT Europe is about creating long term relations where all are winners.

Venue will be communicated later.

We expect a very good event with many interesting presentations and great networking.
