In view of the current economic climate and the industry challenges that face many retailers and manufacturers today, the focus will be on the need to increase cost savings, improve operational efficiencies, and the constant drive to launch new products while simultaneously reducing time to market. Agentrics World will be held October 19-20, 2010 at the Westin Memphis Beale St Hotel in Memphis, Tennessee, USA.

"At Agentrics World 2010, we not only share best-practices, but address thought-provoking issues, providing opportunities for delegates to learn new approaches for immediate benefits," said Wellington Machado, CEO, Agentrics.

Industry professionals, from a broad range of industries including process and discrete manufacturing, retail, transportation and wholesale distribution, will gather at this year's conference to share industry insights, best practices for collaborative data sharing, brand protection and risk management.

The theme for Agentrics World 2010, ‘Tuned for Precision', reflects the core of Agentrics' mission - to help customers achieve excellence and maximum business value from its solutions by delivering quantifiable results and value supported by dedicated and first class technical services.

Machado continued: "Our two-day event is a great place to assess opportunities and to plan strategies for 2011. With our impressive speaker line-up, delegates have first-hand insights into the successes achieved by some of the most innovative retailers and manufacturers out there today."

For example, Walmart will talk about the use of Product Lifecycle Management to not only guard against risks, but drive the business forward. Best Buy will describe the evolution of a Vendor Collabortion program from basic forecast sharing, with select vendors, into a truly strategic supply chain initiative providing value to a significant portion of the organization. In addition, Carrefour will discuss its strategy to enable collaboration across the entire supply chain.
