The Connected Enterprise - Making Information Actionable to Drive Innovation
Broadcast Date: July 2012

These inefficiencies result in significant waste, rework, and redundancy.
During this webinar, we'll take a look at what's driving the need for the Connected Enterprise, what the key points of connection are needed to ensure you have a Connected Enterprise, what types of business benefits accrue to the Connected Enterprise, how Invention Machine’s Goldfire software establishes the business critical framework for the Connected Enterprise, and how the IHS acquisition of Invention Machine will expand the Connected Enterprise vision and framework.
