There we discussed key trends in manufacturing, strategic developments across the industries we serve and information on new solution developments. We also shared valuable insights for reducing business uncertainty and improving the lead time necessary to respond to industry change. If you weren\u2019t able to catch up with us at this year\u2019s conference, here is a quick recap of what you missed.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Surviving the Speed of Business<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The theme for this year\u2019s Explore was the<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> speed of business<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and if you were one of over 700 attendees who made the journey to the \u201cBig Easy,\u201d it was clear that industry disruption is happening across all industries. In order to ensure business longevity, we learned that manufacturers must possess the agility needed to adapt to the speed in which their industries are evolving. For some companies, this has created an existential crisis. The business mindset of today is no longer about whether your company is winning or losing, but about staying in the game.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To survive in today\u2019s business ecosystem, manufacturers need to be able to <\/span><b>Sense the Disruptions<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> facing their industry, <\/span><b>Build out a Plan of Action<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><b>Act on that Plan<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and your ERP system should never weigh you down in the process. QAD\u2019s focus on the design and usability of its solutions has always been on cost-efficiency and quality. However, with increases in disruption and uncertainty, new challenges continue to arise. We pride ourselves on our commitment to working side-by-side with our customers to help them become agile, effective enterprises. Manufacturers need a solution that enables them to adapt and respond to technology-fueled and consumer demand-driven change.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Adaptive Era of ERP<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In an effort to more accurately distinguish the value QAD brings to its customers, we officially <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qad.com\/about\/news\/-\/room\/read\/2019\/qad-inc-unveils-qad-adaptive-applications-and-qad-adaptive-erp\">renamed our solution<\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0portfolio to <\/span><b>QAD Adaptive Applications<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and flagship ERP solution to <\/span><b>QAD Adaptive ERP<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Furthermore, with the Channel Islands project coming to a close, QAD\u2019s user experience (UX) has been renamed to <\/span><b>QAD Adaptive UX<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The solution naming change exemplifies how QAD is helping our customers to adapt their business approach while avoiding major risks and overhead costs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition to hearing from our executives about key manufacturing trends and strategic developments, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.qad.com\/blog\/2019\/02\/bob-moesta-to-keynote-qad-explore-2019\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bob Moesta<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, president of The ReWired Group and adjunct fellow at the Clayton Christensen Institute for Disruptive Innovation, shared strategies around making demand-side innovation more predictable and successful. Mr. Moesta also discussed his Jobs-to-Be-Done (JTBD) theory, the premise being that people no longer buy products, they hire them to do a job. The JTBD framework enables businesses to understand causality as well as what drives consumers to buy in the first place, which is becoming increasingly relevant for manufacturing companies.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Catch up on the Presentations<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Last year, we talked about the onset of an industry-wide <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.qad.com\/blog\/2018\/11\/accelerating-digital-transformation-qad-manufacturing\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">digital transformation<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. This year was all about how to better prepare your strategy and operations for future disruptors. It is a critical time for manufacturers to not only be able to adapt to unexpected changes, but also use them to create competitive advantages. So, how can your ERP provider support your efforts? In her presentation at Explore, QAD President and Founder Pam Lopker aptly described how QAD always <\/span><b>strives<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to do the right thing, <\/span><b>challenges<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> the status quo, <\/span><b>connects<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with people to achieve greatness, and constantly <\/span><b>improves<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> as a company, for the benefit of our customers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To download the presentations or view the video recordings from Explore 2019, visit our <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.qad.com\/about\/eventspresentations\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Presentations page<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Experience the Customer Showcase Videos<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">QAD Explore is all about celebrating the successes of our customers, and this year was no different.
