With increased demand, re-shoring, and technical innovation, it’s no surprise that North American manufacturing has been invigorated. In fact, the H1 2013 Aberdeen Business Review finds that margin growth (60%) and organic revenue growth (43%) are the top two goals for manufacturers in 2014. But with growth comes growing pains. No longer can manufacturers only be content with maintaining standards organization-wide, while being more efficient in managing front and back-office processes. Today’s manufacturers are also required to be increasingly innovative and more agile in decision-making to stay ahead of competitors, and provide greater value to customers. In many cases, it is no longer safe to provide the same products to the same customers without change. Therefore, manufacturers must enable collaboration and access to greater amounts of data.

In this webcast, we will provide insight into the manufacturing industry, and give a snapshot of some of the issues and opportunities awaiting manufacturers in 2014.

During this discussion, you will learn:

  • Strategies for growth
  • Current state of affairs
  • What will the future bring
  • Tips for stronger collaboration, continuous improvement and innovation
Join Joe Langner, Executive Vice President Mid-market Solution, Sage North America for a webcast on February 13th at 2pm EST, as he presents data covering current trends in the North American mid-market manufacturing from the Sage Manufacturing Survey. He will be joined by Nick Castellina, Senior Research Analyst in Aberdeen Group’s Business Planning and Execution Research Practice, who will be presenting data on how Best-in-Class manufacturers utilize today’s enterprise resource planning (ERP) solutions to manage growth and differentiate themselves from competitors.
