Inc. (NASDAQ: MONE), a leading provider of

the opening of its European Innovation Summit
2004. The event, held at the Arabella Sheraton in
Munich, Germany, brings together some of the
world's most forward-looking companies to discuss
the ways in which PLM is transforming the product
development process, with benefits including
increased efficiency, better collaboration,
improved productivity, accelerated time to market
and greater return on investment.
The MatrixOne Innovation Summit will feature
MatrixOne customers from a wide variety of
industry sectors, including high-tech,
manufacturing, electronics, automotive and
consumer packaged goods (CPG). Companies
presenting include Nokia, Porsche, Ericsson,
Adidas-Salomon, Procter & Gamble and Siemens. The
conference is also supported by leading technology
and consulting companies, including Technia, IBM,
Atos Origin, Tata Consultancy Services and Sun
Microsystems, who will be actively participating
and showcasing their experiences and expertise.
Attendees will learn how MatrixOne's PLM
solutions have played a role in changing and
improving the business models of these companies
by enabling simplified product development
processes with customers, partners and suppliers.
The conference will be opened by Mark O'Connell,
MatrixOne President and CEO, and Andy Kofoid, Vice
President EMEA, and will feature a keynote
presentation by Nigel Montgomery of AMR Research,
a leading industry analyst firm that focuses on
product strategy for global manufacturers.
Montgomery will discuss how PLM has become a
strategic imperative for global companies
competing in 21st century markets, and how
profitable growth is being achieved by those
businesses that master demand for their products.
"The need to innovate has never been more acute
within the manufacturing sector, and as companies
look for new ways to develop competitive advantage
and drive profitability, they are increasingly
finding that PLM solutions are well equipped to
help meet these goals," said Andy Kofoid, Vice
President EMEA for MatrixOne. "We believe that
this Innovation Summit is one of the most
comprehensive overviews of PLM ever staged in
Europe. We hope that attendees will come away from
it having discovered how PLM not only addresses
traditional manufacturing issues such as
shortening time to market and improving supply
chain collaboration, but can also help companies
to meet new challenges such as increased
regulatory compliance in certain areas and global
synchronization."
