Manufacturing companies are under a huge pressure when it comes to bringing products to market. But not only products. These products have to generate revenue, they have to be profitable, they need to be sustainable, comply with global regulations, and they need to be launched FAST – before the competition.
So, this puts a lot of pressure on R&D departments. In his keynote at SAPInsider Conference Las Vegas, Graham Conlon, Global Head of Solution Management for SAP PLM, pointed out the importance of integrated software solutions for the R&D department in order to be successful in the market. He also outlined SAP´s strategy for CAD integration, Enterprise PPM and Sustainability solutions. Watch his keynote here.
