11/05/2010 - New Conference Customer Services

Driving Customer Services

and MRO Value with PLM

Vinci Consulting in partnership with PTC organizes a conference on Eurosatory fair in Paris, on June 15th from 10 to 11 am.

Companies are facing major changes, driven by globalization, new market needs and economical demands. Because their ability to propose innovative services for the customers is becoming a crucial and strategic differentiation factor, there is an increasing focus on the transformation from a product-centric model to a service-centric model.

Relying on a strong fondational customer service is not enough anymore and this key challenge raises fundamental questions:

"How to propose innovative services based on a realistic and feasible commitment,
hold over time at the reasonable cost?"

"How to master the complexity of the product, from development to operational context?"

An innovative Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) strategy is the basis for a service-centric model, integrating and valuing development data, ILS and in-service feedback.

Orators : Philippe Herrerias and Stéphane Gautrot, Partners.
