Bruce Richardson, the former distinguished AMR analyst but now Infor chief strategy officer, is to host a 30 minute global manufacturing industry webinar on 8 June at 2.00pm GMT.
Richardson says the webinar will explore: the impact of the economic downturn on manufacturing; the outlook for the industry; the impact of manufacturing business pressures on IT strategies for the next decade; and how manufacturers can strive for operational excellence.
"The economy is continuing to be the central talking point for manufacturers," comments Andrew Kinder, Infor industry solutions director and chairman of the June webinar.
"However, we're seeing some very encouraging growth signs in a number of countries and industry sectors," he continues.
"It seemed the right time to institute what we believe to be one of the largest global surveys of the manufacturing base with IDC and IBM, [to] better understand what today's pressures are."
Kinder says that the webinar will reveal interesting findings from the survey.
"Why not join me in this the first of two live webcasts that explore the challenges our manufacturing business leaders face today?" invites Richardson.
"What are your concerns for the next decade? What business strategies and initiatives are you deploying to meet your goals? And what is the role of IT in supporting your initiatives?"
