Accelerate 2014 with Autodesk PLM 360

If you’re familiar with Product Lifecycle Management, you probably associate it with large Automotive and Aerospace companies… So, why should young, fast growing companies start thinking about product lifecycle management?

While it did get its start in large enterprises, today PLM is even more relevant to small and medium businesses. As an SMB, you can’t afford to waste resources on activities that aren’t adding – you need to keep the focus on product innovation. That’s where PLM comes in.

Managing your new product introduction processes manually with emails and spreadsheets can keep a startup going. But when the time comes to ramp up production, the last thing you want is roadblocks and delays due to inaccurate data and unclear communication. PLM helps companies establish efficient and repeatable development processes in order to support their rapid growth.

If you’d like to learn more about the benefits of PLM in the cloud, there’s an event coming to Boston on September 16-17 that you’ll want to check out. Autodesk is hosting its first ever PLM conference, they’re calling Accelerate 2014. The conference is aimed at SMB interested in bringing innovative new products to market quickly. Attendees will have the opportunity to connect with their peers and industry thought leaders to gain insights on future trends in manufacturing.

Autodesk has a large panel of speakers, including: Kevin Prendeville, Accenture; Doreen Lorenzo, Quirky; Stan Przybylinski, CIMdata; Ranga Bodla, NetSuite; Scott Miller, Dragon Innovation; Monica Schnitger, Schnitger Corporation; Kenneth Brant, Gartner Allan Behrens, Taxal; Chad Jackson, Lifecycle Insights; & Jim Brown, Tech-Clarity.
