"As product development cycles shrink so do profit margins," said Sony Ericsson Chief Information Officer Colin Boyd. "We have a very brief period of time in the market to make a profit on a particular model of mobile phone. We have to develop new products fast, and if we make a mistake on a product launch or a phase out, any profit we make in the middle phase can be wiped out."
"Why does a food company need PLM to produce spaghetti?" Mauro Viacava, CIO at Italian food processing company The Barilla Group, asked the GCC audience rhetorically. Because it needs the same efficiency, agility, collaboration and innovation that heavy manufacturers have gained from PLM, he said.
"Shorter product lifecycles, regulatory compliance requirements and complex global supply chains are among the many business process challenges and common concerns shared by our customers industry-wide," ENOVIA CEO Joel Lemke said, "PLM solutions that synchronize business and product development processes are essential for our customers' growth and profitability. We were pleased to have so many of our customers gathered in one place to discuss how PLM can address these critical issues."
MatrixOne Inc was acquired by Paris-based Dassault Systèmes in May, 2006 and today is part of its ENOVIA PLM Collaborative Environment family of solutions. ENOVIA MatrixOne solutions enable companies to accelerate product innovation to achieve top line revenue growth and improve bottom line profitability.
As a world leader in 3D and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) solutions, the Dassault Systèmes group brings value to more than 90,000 customers in 80 countries.
