Centric Software, a leading provider of product lifecycle management
(PLM) for apparel companies and private label brands, today announced
that it has been selected by the editors of START-IT and its
editorial advisory board for the 2008 START-IT 125. The START-IT
125 is a directory of the most influential technology providers in the
manufacturing industry.
“Each year, we see more change in the
manufacturing industry and the available technology, and each year the
editors of START-IT must be more critical in examining the top 125
technology providers,” said Peggy Smedley,
editorial director of START-IT. “The START-IT
125 lets our readers know what the best solutions are, who can provide
them, and how they can help manufacturers improve business practices.”
“Our customers in the apparel and private
label industries view PLM from Centric Software as a strategic solution
that drives margin improvement by reducing time to market and increasing
collaboration with global vendors and partners,”
said Chris Groves, president and CEO of Centric Software. “The
naming of Centric Software to the START-IT 125 is further proof that
Centric’s enterprise product lifecycle
management suite, which focuses on achieving top-level business
benefits, is recognized by the manufacturing industry and thought
leaders.”
The START-IT 125 can be found in the 2008 START-IT
Factbook, the definitive reference guide relating to the manufacturing
industry. Along with the START-IT 125, the Factbook offers an
in-depth look at the current state of manufacturing employment and
productivity; snapshots of key import and export trends; analysis of
economic trends and their impact on the manufacturing industry; and a
list of today’s leading manufacturers by
