Café Series: Building project capabilities for a better manufacturing experience

Manufacturing companies can optimize their business processes by using project management applications to monitor direct manufacturing and new product development. In this session, Avanade will share where different project applications are a natural fit for manufacturing company activities. We will review both using projects in direct manufacturing and business scenarios that merit using project tracking on top of sales and production. We will also talk about non-production activities such as New Product Development, Marketing Events and Coordination and how Project Operations can be a natural fit to encapsulate the activities, resources, and costs of these critical business processes.

In this interactive round table discussion, facilitated by Avanade, you’ll have the opportunity to share input, ask questions and hear from industry experts about how manufacturers are meeting challenges with project capabilities. We will be discussing creative ways to use Project Operations applications, but also Financial Project Accounting.
