Can Apparel Companies Stay Competitive and Continue to Enjoy Growth?

Can Apparel Companies Stay Competitive and Continue to Enjoy Growth?

Write: Dextra [2011-05-20]

Similar to other industries, the apparel industry is facing new challenges while the industry continues to evolve. The global market is increasingly competitive. There is a strong demand to target new markets, so to create new revenue streams; and there are pressures to reduce new product development costs and customers’ demands for more innovative products. Under such a complicated situation on top of the current economic condition, will that be possible? How can the apparel companies tackle all these challenges and stay competitive by leveraging technology?

Dassault Systemes ENOVIA, a world-class PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) provider for retail, footwear and apparel will be joining this leading regional apparel industry. We just wonder would any correspondences from your publication would join this Forum and be interested in talking to Dassault Systemes.

Dassault Systemes will also be the moderator of the Session 7: Technology vs. Talent Management at the Forum at 15:05pm – 16:20pm on April 2.
