The conference, hosted by Acuity Inc. delivers practical information to engineers on how the implementation of a robust and integrated IT infrastructure will allow businesses to evolve to the next level of sales and profitability.  This one-day conference is targeted at small and medium sized manufacturers to help them understand how ERP, CRM and PLM can logically work together to increase productivity and bottom line revenues.

Industry analyst and leading editor, Randall S. Newton, will be presenting his views on how PLM has reached the value "tipping point" for small-to-medium-sized businesses (SMBs).

He states, “PLM is no longer only an enterprise solution.  Small and medium-sized manufacturing firms can now improve their efficiency and stimulate innovation with PLM without breaking the bank or turning their IT infrastructure over to strangers."

Acuity Inc. is a provider of solutions, consulting and training using SolidEdge, NX and I-deas from Siemens PLM, as well as PLM implementations for Teamcenter and the Vantage ERP solutions from Epicor.  The company is located in Portland, OR.
