Webinarreihe: Gemeinsames Informationsmodell (CIM) – Modul I – III
Summary
The webinar series “Common Information Model (CIM)” is aimed at employees of distribution and transmission system operators. Participants learn about the Common Information Model and are presented with practical steps for using and implementing CIM in their own company. The CIM training is divided into three modules: Module 1 – CIM Basic Knowledge, Module 2 – Best Practices and Implementation, and Module 3 – Modelling CIM Profiles. In all modules of the webinar, we attach great importance to interactive exchange and the transfer of what has been learnt. Accordingly, we also offer a transfer webinar for all participants to share their experiences 2-4 weeks after the CIM webinar modules.
