When businesses are seeking to grow the number of products they bring to market, they require a new product development and implementation solution that supports their business process and data management needs. Not only should their solution manage the robust end-to-end process for product development, manufacturing and launch activities, it should serve as a single source of truth for their internal users, supply chain partners and customers.
In this interactive discussion with Elkay Manufacturing, you will learn about the challenges they faced before making the decision to move to a self-service, user-driven data management platform. Our panel will also discuss how the migration from Agile PLM to Oracle’s Product Development and Product Hub Cloud, plus Inspirage’s Approval Matrix, helped Elkay enable product governance into their business processes, resulting in improved data quality, data integrity and product launch capabilities.
