CIMdata has therefore partnered with specialist publishers Raconteur Media to co-operate in the production of a dedicated report on the PLM industry that was published in The Times on December 5. The report creates a clear dialogue between industry thought leaders and business decision makers who are increasingly under pressure to deliver innovative products more efficiently. This content will empower them to make more informed decisions about the PLM solutions they use. The report will provide a comprehensive and credible platform to communicate to a full range of stakeholders on the issues that are shaping the industry.

Founded in 1995, GTA Geoinformatik is the developer of tridicon® software, which enables the automatic generation of high-quality, coloured 3D point clouds. The company also specialises in uniting point cloud data with aerial images including oblique and LiDAR images to create intelligent, navigable 3D city models, or smart cities. "The idea of creating a smart city has been an important part of Hexagon's geospatial vision to merge maps with information and real-time updates," said Hexagon President and CEO Ola Rollén. "Solutions such as those GTA Geoinformatik delivers are becoming increasingly important, as they build the foundation for industry-specific applications in areas of city development such as security, traffic, infrastructure management, energy and emergency response." GTA Geoinformatik, based in Berlin and Neubrandenburg, Germany, will be fully consolidated as of end of November. The acquisition will not have any visible impact on Hexagon's earnings in the short- term.
