Click Commerce Presents Part Two of the Master Data Management Webinar Series: How to Reduce Engineering and Design Costs with Strategic Component Reuse.

CHICAGO -- Click Commerce, Inc., (Nasdaq:CKCM), a leading provider of on-demand supply chain management solutions, presents part two of the two-part series, "Master Data Management: Building a Foundation for the On-Demand Extended Enterprise." The Webinar will be held on April 12 at 10 am EDT and will feature Kevin Reale, automotive research director for AMR Research, and Johan Sauer, general manager for the Click Commerce Master Data Management (MDM) group. Reale and Sauer will present how strategic component reuse can improve speed to market, reduce development costs, and increase manufacturing flexibility.

Part of the year-long Webinar series featuring AMR Research "Winning in a Flat World, How to Compete in the Real-Time Global Marketplace," the master data management series discusses the benefits of creating uniform product information to optimize inventory management and gain competitive advantage. Part One of this series is available on demand at www.clickcommerce.com.

According to a report by the U.S. Department of Defense's Defense Logistics Agency, "the majority of the cost of introducing a new part into the inventory is in engineering and design (46 percent), which is done early in the process. This means that costs can be saved very early when an effective parts management process is in place."

"Speed to market is critical to retaining and gaining market share. Companies must have the ability to identify shifts in demand and respond to these shifts quickly," said Nancy Koenig, executive vice president of operations for Click Commerce. "Strategic component reuse provides fast-moving companies with an innovative, cost-effective way to produce a new product or service and deliver it to meet fluctuations in demand."

In addition to this series, the year-long Webinar program includes discussions on the service supply chain, demand chain management, supply chain management, and contract and service management. The next event, "Contract and Service Management: Driving Local Compliance with Global Service Providers," is April 20 at 10 am EDT. AMR Research Director Mickey North Rizza and Sampath Gomatam, vice president of professional services for the Click Commerce Contract and Service Management group, will discuss how companies can efficiently outsource services and labor, improve spend management, and ensure compliance to procurement policies.
