MONEE Matrixone (MM)

Experts Say That Capturing Customer Needs at Front End of Product Lifecycle is Critical to Maximizing Return on Innovation MatrixOne, Inc. (NASDAQ: MONEE), a leading provider of collaborative product lifecycle management (PLM) solutions for the value chain(TM), will co-sponsor with Telelogic a Webcast on best practices for managing customer needs in conjunction with PLM. A featured presentation by Mike Burkett, research director of AMR Research, will discuss how understanding customer needs at the onset of product development speeds time-to-market and ensures new products meet emerging regulatory standards. According to a recent AMR Research Report entitled, Don't Launch a Product Without Knowing Your Customer's Needs, "Product launches fail because manufacturers can't meet customer needs-that's what manufacturers listed as the top reason for failures in a recent AMR Research survey. Reasons vary from poor definition of requirements on the front-end of product development, to poor execution to meet those needs later in the design process. While the need to design a product to meet customer needs may be obvious to manufacturers, many struggle to execute well within the pressure to speed new innovations to market... Aligning customer needs with the NPDL process is one of the most important areas manufacturers can target to improve product launch success." Hosts Jon Gable, vice president, Product Management of MatrixOne and Ken Maier, director, Customer Needs Management of Telelogic will inform participants about how the integration of MatrixOne Product Central(TM) and Telelogic DOORS(R) speeds new product development, from concept to delivery.
