The importance of accurate and timely product and packaging data is critical, especially as companies are facing new and rapidly evolving regulations, increasingly complex supply chains and the need to get products to market quickly. But for many enterprises, there is a constant struggle to locate and make sense of product and packaging data, as it is often siloed across various systems, spreadsheets, emails and even desktop notepads. CIOs know a significant part of their job is to identify the next innovation that can drive digital transformation, reduce costs and impact efficiencies.
In this webinar you’ll learn:
The challenges of managing product and packaging data and some of the tools enterprises have considered to overcome these challenges
How Specification Data Management is enabling improved collaboration for enterprises to reduce costs, impact and report on sustainability, and speed time to deployment of new products
How best to work with your IT leaders and ways to engage key stakeholders when implementing new software solutions
Bringing together leaders in industry and technology to drive innovation.
