Manufacturers around the world are seeking to simplify their business processes and drive constant innovation by embracing life-cycle software applications. Technology buyers need to exploit existing software products such as predictive business process analytics, upfront simulation and light-weight visual collaboration to augment their business productivity, especially in the current macroeconomic environment that is plagued with uncertainty."
