“The increasing demand for smart products has created extraordinary opportunities. But to reap those rewards, manufacturers must overcome unique and unprecedented product development challenges,” said Greg Coticchia, CEO of Sopheon. “Bringing smart products to market involves coordinating departments and disciplines with different priorities, methodologies, work habits and technologies. This challenge is precisely our area of expertise at Sopheon, and we designed our presentation at World Product Day to share ideas that will contribute to the innovation efforts of product managers around the world.”
