Legacy into Leading: How to Transform into a Cutting Edge Manufacturer


Cell phones, social media, the cloud—today’s workforce grew up with technologies that provide instant connection to any person and any piece of information at any time. Manufacturers invest significantly in manufacturing capital, business processes, and enterprise systems and tools which provide positive return at a point in time, but also can reduce flexibility to adapt over time. Company cultures themselves can be a hindrance to embrace change and new, more efficient ways of working. Especially in the era of COVID, companies need to move faster and stay agile.

The question that remains: what can teams do to evolve towards the tools and processes that the new workforce expects? Joseph Anderson, IpX President and long-time advocate for a connected enterprise, is hosting a roundtable with Dan Murray, CEO & Founder of Vertex Software, and Paul Nelson, Chief Technical Strategist, Tech Fellow at Northrop Grumman, to discuss how both the industry and the software side aims to tackle these challenges in our webinar Legacy to Leading: How to Transform into a Cutting-Edge Manufacturer. Attendees will hear from these experts:

– The importance of a connected enterprise
– Practical steps to move out of legacy processes
– Addressing the total cost of change including up-convert disruption
– How to identify and procure enabling digital tools
