The leading global provider of Project and Product Portfolio Management solutions will host customers for a user conference focusing on automotive-specific PPM at Planisware’s Munich office on June 22nd.
Planisware™, the leading global provider of Project & Product Portfolio Management solutions, will debut their Automotive Summit on June 22nd in Munich, Germany. The customer event, hosted by Planisware Deutschland GmbH, offers attendees the opportunity to connect with peers from other companies, share best practices and lessons learned, keep up to date with the latest software innovations, and confer with Planisware consultants.
The conference will commence with a presentation by Pierre Demonsant, CEO and founder of Planisware, who will highlight proprietary features in Planisware software that uniquely support key processes in the automotive industry. Matthias Degen, industry expert and General Manager from Life Cycle Engineers, and Markus Schaetzler, Consultant from Planisware, will co-present the keynote speech, entitled “Maturity Stage Management in New Product Development.” They will describe methods for the objective assessment of progress in development and demonstrate specific new features within the Planisware application that support maturity tracking and measurement.
Featured presentations from prominent Planisware customers – including Ford, Renault, and Schaeffler – as well as round table discussions and networking events aim to cultivate engaging dialogue among conference participants.
“Planisware's presence was established in the automotive industry over fifteen years ago,” comments Pierre Demonsant. “However,” he continues, “since 2008, the pace of change in the automotive industry has accelerated dramatically. Planisware's experience, understanding of the rapidly evolving environment, and ability to demonstrate real value with our software has helped us gain several high profile customers recently, including Ford this year. Our strengthened leadership in the field led us to conclude it was the opportune time to start a vertical summit in the automotive industry. The interest from our customers and the progressive presentation line up indicate this was the right decision.”
Supplying the framework for visibility and transparency, better-informed governance, improved time-to-market and easy collaboration across the organization, Planisware is the comprehensive, integrated planning and portfolio management solution that leading automotive manufacturer and supplier organizations like Renault, Navistar, and Michelin rely on for their PPM needs.
