See You at National Manufacturing Week!

National Manufacturing Week is upon us. Hopefully we will see many of you there. Traditionally Microsoft’s presence at National Manufacturing week has consisted of Microsoft’s primary pavilion and our partner pavilion. This year we are adding a third pavilion focused on the Microsoft Collaborative Product Development (CPD) Initiative that we announced back in October at PDMA . You may recollect the article from the October COE eNewsletter describing this initiative in detail. NMW is your chance to see how Partners participating in the CPD initiative will be highlighting how the core Microsoft technologies enable better communications, design collaboration as well as project and portfolio management in their design solutions.

Microsoft will also be demonstrating how the pieces of Sharepoint Portal Server, Enterprise Project Management Server, Information Bridge Framework, can be brought together in your enterprise to accelerate your Product Development process.

Expanding on the well received Collaborative Product Development initiative, Microsoft will be unveiling an even broader initiative at National Manufacturing Week. Attend the Monday March 7th’s Industry Update at NMW as Microsoft unveils it’s manufacturing technology vision on how its platform and partners’ solutions meet the global manufacturing needs of today and tomorrow. Gain insight into how successful companies will increase speed to market, maximize plant floor visibility and productivity, optimize the supply chain, and improve customer relationships. Please come by the Microsoft booth to learn more about our Peak Performance Initiative.

We look forward to seeing you at the National Manufacturing Week at Booth 4811!
