A Proven, Practical Approach
to Navigate Emerging Technology
There’s no shortage of new technologies available to manufacturers. One question we always get is, “Where do I start?” How do we decide what technologies to implement? And when to implement? Start with the problem. What business problem are you trying to solve? And in what order should problems be solved? Finally, what technologies are best suited to solve those problems? Let Jason Toschlog, Flexware Chief Technology Officer, introduce you to a decision making framework called the Business Value Map. It’s a proven and practical approach which will serve as a common platform for your entire team.
