Annual survey explores the business outlook and technology plans of firms that use CAD, CAE, PDM, PLM, and BIM software.

Cyon Research, the company behind COFES, the Congress on the Future of Engineering Software, is now conducting its annual Global Survey of Users of Engineering Software. The online survey is open to employees of any firm that uses CAD, CAE, PDM, PLM, and/or BIM software for design, engineering, manufacturing, and or construction.

Preliminary insights from the 2012 survey will be presented at COFES April 12-15, in Scottsdale Arizona. The detailed final survey report will be published in Q3 2012 and will be available for purchase from Cyon Research. Respondents from qualifying firms—firms that use engineering software, as mentioned above—can receive a copy of the survey results, for their personal use, at no cost.

The 2012 Cyon Research survey explores users’ attitudes, expectations, and plans regarding the use of engineering software, as well as their view of their business outlook, their spending/hiring plans, and their expectations regarding changes or transitions in their engineering software mix.

The survey is available in five languages:
