Background & Purpose

Implementing PLM has gone well for some, and is costing too much or moving too slowly for others. Our research shows that while getting management and organizational buy-in is a key success enabler, a thorough understanding of all the processes that participate in product lifecycles as well as the dynamics of their interactions are prerequisites for achieving expected ROIs.

Indeed, there is rising concern at the C-level about a range of issues associated with today's globalized, digitally connected environment that daratechSUMMIT2006 will address. Senior executives worry that their intellectual property remain secured and protected... that radical process changes do not create disruption... that the complexity of product, process and business structures can be handled by the systems they are installing... and that vital company knowledge and best practices are not lost as people leave, or made redundant.

With so much close collaboration between customer and supplier, the complexities of PLM for large- and medium-sized companies are beginning to converge, and what was true for large companies is now true for an increasing number of smaller companies. This convergence will become apparent to all that attend daratechSUMMIT2006.

Throughout its 20-year history, daratechSUMMIT has been the place where users and industry insiders have met to share their visions, best practices, problems and challenges. Don't miss it.
