WHY FASHION PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT TEAMS WILL NEVER WORK THE
SAME WAY AGAIN VIRTUAL DESIGN STUDIOS™
There is a new breed of solutions - Virtual Design Studios™ - that enables virtual teams to work on projects in designing, sourcing and manufacturing. You can work better, overcoming physical space, linear information, and lack luster communication processes.
DESIGN AND SOURCING TODAY IS INEFFICIENT
So far companies have been able to make their projects work with solutions like post it's, paper clips, folders, binders, memo pads, faxes, e-mails. In some cases companies do have digital assets and information sitting on their company drive, or PDM system. Most of this information is printed or e-mailed in large digital attachments that are slow to open, huge in size and bandwidth hungry. This is how information has been managed so far. We forget that this is not really painless or efficient. But, we have had few other choices
COLLABORATIVE DESIGN PROJECTS ARE THE FOUNDATION OF MOST WORK IN THE FASHION INDUSTRY
We have been trying to use collaborative solutions to improve design and sourcing. But, so far the solutions available haven't been great. We use solutions that are used for task based project management, like excel, but they are not doing the job. They don't scale and don't fit the needs of most companies. They also make change management practically impossible and a full time activity.
This white paper will inform you on how Virtual Design Studios are transforming product development.
