Michael Kors Supports Growth with Innovation

American fashion designer Michael Kors selects the ENOVIA Matrix One Apparel Accelerator for design and development by Dassault Systemes. The company will use the technology to support innovation and product quality as the company continues to grow. "Over the last four years we have experienced explosive growth; we expect this trend to continue as we expand our retail presence and introduce new product lines. From a business perspective it was strategically important for us to find a PLM solution that could be implemented quickly, provide an open platform that could interact with other applications and ultimately scale to meet future demands," says Gia Castrogiovanni, president, Women's, Michael Kors. The system enables Michael Kors to deploy a common infrastructure that automates and integrates product data, business processes and development workflows throughout the product lifecycle. The system will officially be integrated at the end of quarter one in 2008.
