Conference Information
New product development is the lifeblood of every manufacturer-yet many firms fail to effectively manage innovation throughout their organizations. Without a disciplined process for development, design, manufacture, sales and service of new products, these firms can easily squander resources, time and market share to better organized competitors.
Fortunately, new PLM solutions can help manufacturers re-capture these opportunities while achieving economies of scale across the enterprise. In this Webcast, Maximizing Competitive Advantage through PLM: Building a Manageable and Scaleable Architecture for Innovation, you'll learn about a 5-step process for executives, engineers and IT professionals to build a well-designed PLM infrastructure that will simultaneously drive innovation and manage resources and costs more effectively.
