daratechSUMMIT2003

Background & Purpose

With globalization and economic uncertainty deepening, manufacturers are under pressure to reduce head counts, slash fixed costs, and rein in warranty expenses. Nevertheless, delivering innovative, higher-quality products to market faster has never been competitively more important. Indeed, the need for closer, better-managed collaboration and information sharing has grown as the need to do more with less has increased.

For providers of CAD/CAM, digital prototyping, manufacturing applications, PDM and related solutions, market saturation, downward pressure on prices, and diminished technological differentiation have created new challenges.

Out of these challenges has emerged a vision for a comprehensive framework for product creation-from concept through volume production-that will, when fully implemented, allow manufacturers to be faster, more efficient and agile in their response to market conditions, and reduce both fixed and headcount costs. Called PLM, this vision is seen by solution providers as an opportunity to add value to their core products and at the same time connect with their customers' strategic business drivers-time to money, profitability, and market share.

This has created challenges for all involved. Solution providers are scrambling to establish their credibility in this new, expanded role and position themselves effectively for both customers and Wall Street. But for most would-be providers, PLM requires a new service-centric business model, service-oriented business partnerships, and difficult cultural changes.

No wonder engineering and manufacturing decision-makers continue to be skeptical about PLM and the claims made for it. So far, there are more questions than answers. How much will it cost? Can benefits be realized without a full implementation? What is the payoff? How can it be measured? How long will it take to see returns? How disruptive will it be? How does it integrate with ERP, CPC and so on? And above all: what are the risks, and where, and how deep, are the pitfalls?

daratechSUMMIT2003 will help you through this maze. In the general sessions, breakouts, working groups and corridor conversations you'll discover the real status of PLM, who the credible players are, and how the challenges are being met by top global manufacturers and the world's leading solution providers.

If you plan to attend just one industry event in the next 12 months, make it daratechSUMMIT2003. See the timetable for the most up-to-date list of speakers, sessions and working-group descriptions.

Of course, daratechSUMMIT2003's Co-Sponsors—the world's leading suppliers of PLM, e-PDM/ERP, CAD/CAM, digital prototyping and simulation, digital manufacturing process engineering and related solutions—will be on hand, most represented by their CEOs, to conduct breakout sessions, showcase new solutions, and share their vision and strategies. Featured will be presentations of technical philosophy and direction, live demonstrations, and an opportunity to meet and chat with the CEOs of virtually all leading developers.

ABOUT daratechSUMMIT

Since its launch in 1986, daratechSUMMIT has grown to be the highest-level, most definitive conference focused on time-to-market compression and product creation process re-engineering made possible by the application of information technology solutions. In this role, daratechSUMMIT is an important international forum in which real-world user cases-successes and failures-are presented and discussed, and where IT solution providers' latest vision, philosophy and technologies are unveiled by industry CEOs to senior engineering and manufacturing executives for comparison and assessment.

Today, daratechSUMMIT is recognized worldwide as the premier place to meet and network for product creation strategists, including executives in charge of e-PDM/ERP, BOM, CAD/CAM, digital prototyping, digital manufacturing process engineering and supply-chain integration. In addition, corporate IT professionals, high-level planners working to develop strategies to compress time to market, as well as technology forecasters, market researchers, financial analysts and venture fund managers have found this conference invaluable as a place to meet and discuss the future direction of technologies and the ways in which they may be applied. The conference has also become the place to meet with the CEOs and other top executives and technologists of the world's leading engineering and manufacturing IT solution providers. Indeed, the conference program has been specifically designed to provide ample opportunity for individuals to meet informally one-on-one, or in the context of the many topical working groups conducted at the conference.

An interpreter of trends and a trendsetter for all seventeen years of its existence, daratechSUMMIT has consistently and correctly communicated, predicted and validated new developments in engineering and manufacturing IT including the shift in emphasis at both manufacturers and major solution providers from personal-productivity-focused data creation tools to enterprise-wide data leveraging and process management to accelerate time to market; the consequent urgent need for greater openness and interoperability among CAD/CAM, CAE systems; the benefits and limitations of standards-based data exchange initiatives; the widespread adoption of solids modeling; the ubiquity of personal computer-based CAD; the central role of digital prototyping and simulation in reducing physical prototyping to shorten time to market; and many more industry concepts and practices that are now taken for granted.
