Bethesda, MD, February 6, 2012 — Cyon Research Corporation today announced the opening of its 2012 Global Survey of Users of Engineering Software. The 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 (generally known as “engineering software.”)

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.

Preliminary insights from the Cyon Research 2012 survey will be presented at COFES, the Congress On the Future of Engineering Software (http://cofes.com ) 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 for $2,000.

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 survey is available in five languages:
