Pre-Conference Workshop B
Enabling Technology for Virtual
Collaboration with Contractors
and Partners

Monday, October 16 - 1:00pm-4:00PM


Instructor: Mark Silvestri, President, Life Cycle Solutions, Inc.

The mantra of the modern business environment is "exploit your expertise, and outsource what is not." For the most part, in today’s environment this means a great deal of express mail, disjoint design and manufacturing processes, and a plethora of corrective actions. This does not have to be!

This workshop will focus on the methods, tools and technology available today that, if applied appropriately, will optimize interoperability within your own organization and the extended design and manufacturing community.

By participating, you will:

  • Learn the types of transactions that can be accomplished easily and those that are a resource sink.
  • Gain understanding of the system architectures required to effectively perform collaborative transactions.
  • Review collaborative products available in the market.
  • Learn security approaches for your corporate design knowledge.
  • Survey the existing and emerging standards for virtual collaboration environments.
  • Consider trade restrictions and intellectual property rights.
  • Review examples of successful global collaboration.
