Parigi, 1 giugno 2010 - Lectra, leader mondiale delle soluzioni tecnologiche integrate per le industrie che utilizzano materiali soft - tessuti, pellami, tessuti industriali e materiali compositi - è lieta di annunciare la disponibilità, all inizio di luglio, della nuova versione della soluzione di gestione del ciclo di vita dei prodotti specificamente dedicata al settore della moda, Lectra Fashion PLM V2R2 . Lectra Fashion PLM continua a spingersi oltre i limiti della gestione del ciclo di vita dei prodotti, coprendo tutte le fasi che caratterizzano la creazione delle collezioni . Integra infatti applicazioni role-based per la progettazione dei prodotti, la creazione dei relativi modelli e la prototipizzazione fisica e virtuale 3D a strumenti per la pianificazione e gestione delle collezioni (pianificazione delle linee, specifiche dei prodotti, costi, sourcing strategico e gestione flessibile del flusso di lavoro) . Modular and scalable, Lectra Fashion PLM meets the needs of medium-sized companies just as well as of large international groups . "Lectra Fashion PLM V2R2 is a major technological leap forward-we have drawn on best practices developed with customers to profoundly improve upon all the processes the solution covers, making a real difference to the entire value chain . For our customers this means better collaboration, time and costs savings, and, ultimately, increased competitiveness," says Daniel Harari, Lectra CEO . An enhanced solution to serve a global PLM approachLectra Fashion PLM V2R2 provides simplified, automated costing capacities, right down to the level of individual items created in all sizes and colors . This unique, flexible costing module helps companies control margins throughout the development cycle, enabling managers to check the profitability of designs earlier in the development phase, and facilitates the decision-making process . A new ordering module facilitates order progress monitoring by allowing for mass updates to be made . Records of all sample orders placed can be kept within the system, and reports can be generated quickly and simply . Centralized order tracking eliminates data re-entry tasks and helps users monitor orders more closely, ultimately enabling them to anticipate delays due to late deliveries, resolving problems before they become bottlenecks . Lectra Fashion PLM V2R2 facilitates the monitoring and review of projects through enhanced mark-ups management features . This "snapshot" function enables users to generate a contextual report-it is, quite literally, a "snapshot" of the collection in progress, providing an archive of iterations . This allows users to go back and see on the basis of which information decisions were taken, improving communication and collaboration along the entire value chain . To accelerate the migration of data and thus facilitate the implementation of Lectra Fashion PLM, the data load capacity through Microsoft Office Excel has been enhanced . A user-friendly tool allows companies to fill spreadsheets with data to be loaded into the system; users can also fill through queries on external systems . This is a highly flexible way of gathering data and allows for a large range of information to be loaded (libraries, pick lists, materials, trims, etc . ) . Lastly, Lectra Fashion PLM V2R2 will be made available in Chinese and Japanese in order to better serve the Far Eastern markets and facilitate exchange between Europe, the Americas and Asia . Integrated design and development-key for successful fashion PLMBy aligning individual processes with the company s wider priorities, Lectra Fashion PLM supports companies as they seek to deliver cost-effective, on-trend collections in a timely manner, season after season . Consumers now have more choice than ever about what, where and how they buy, so a key differentiating factor between brands is their design . Lectra Fashion PLM s design tools represent a shift in fashion design solutions by enhancing the creative aspects of the profession and reducing repetitive, administrative and labor-intensive tasks . Created specifically for fashion professionals, Lectra Fashion PLM offers a collaborative design space to maximize the expertise pooled, speed up processes, and secure information, which ultimately improves designs . Concept validation is also considerably faster, as everyone has visibility into the process-this accelerates time-to-market . This flexible, shared collection development space also optimizes the interactive and iterative processes of product development, including the development of technical instructions, 3D virtual prototyping, sample creation, fitting and quality testing . As the development stages of collection creation are cyclical rather than linear, Lectra Fashion PLM has been designed with this in mind . "With its solution for streamlining the complex business of collection management, Lectra is the ideal technology partner for fashion companies looking to enhance their productivity and their competitiveness," said Mario Boselli, Director of the National Chamber of Italian Fashion . Rapid return on investmentLectra s Easy Start offer is designed to ensure that users are operational within a single fashion season . Pre-packaged software, tools and services, along with clear guides for project management best practices and process-based training, ensure deployment is smooth and seamless . On the other hand, for customers with more specific needs, Lectra is also able to offer a variety of levels of personalization to make sure that every customer finds the perfect fit . With this scalable solution, a project that begins with a simple Easy Start implementation can grow and take on a much more tailored approach, customized for the user company s specific needs . This flexible system allows fashion companies to integrate their own best practices into the system and adapt it to their own methods . Change management is thus accelerated and users are quickly at ease and efficient with the system .

Primi dati del sondaggio 2010 per i lettori e gli autori di rapporti discussi alla conferenza GRIAmsterdam, 27 maggio 2010I partecipanti al primo sondaggio Readers Choice Survey and Awards del 2008 avevano segnalato il problema: il reporting di sostenibilità doveva essere maggiormente collegato, in genere, alla strategia aziendale . Gli autori dei rapporti ne hanno preso nota e il reporting di sostenibilità ha registrato dei progressi? In una delle sessioni principali della Conferenza GRI è stato analizzato il verdetto pronunciato quest anno dai lettori e si è parlato di quello che gli autori dei rapporti possono fare per soddisfare le aspettative dei lettori . Durante la sessione, i content partner del sondaggio Readers Choice Survey and Awards KPMG, Futerra e SustainAbility, hanno illustrato la loro analisi e risposto alle domande di un gruppo di esperti . Most evidently, the second Readers Choice Survey and Awards has provided us once again with unique insights into the readers views on sustainability reporting s effectiveness . New this year was the creation of a Reporters Survey in order to compare readers and reporters objectives in reporting . Some of the main questions that were asked in the surveys were why should an organization report? , do you consider reporting to be green wash? and is sustainability reporting actually affecting real change? In response to the first question, the content partners interpreted the results as follows: both readers and reporters are in agreement that the purpose of sustainability reporting is to improve performance . Over 70% of both respondents agree the primary reason to report is to account for an organization s sustainability performance . Improving internal processes was a close second choice, selected by 75% of readers and 65% of reporters . In response to the second question, the content partners drew the following conclusion: no, reporting is clearly not considered to be green wash . They found that 90% of all readers strongly disagree, demonstrating that robust reporting is a trusted information channel . Even more so, they concluded that sustainability reporting is actually building trust . The survey outcomes showed that the top factors for increasing trust included presenting robust data which proves progress, having a track record of actual actions, and having clear link between sustainability and an organization s core strategies . In response to the third question, the content partners concluded that sustainability reporting changes both the reporter and the reader . When done effectively, 98% of readers agree that reporting improves an organization s performance over time . Also, half of the readers surveyed agreed they use reporting to inform decisions to invest/divest in the organization , over half of the readers also use the information they read to decide on a purchase, service or relationship with that organization, and 41% stated that reporting affects their consumer behavior . The Survey Factsheet, a joint effort of the content partners which was presented during the session, highlights a selection of the main findings . In the fall of 2010, this top line factsheet will be joined by a Survey Report that will provide an in depth analysis of the opinion and characteristics of today s readers and reporters .

GRI è lieta di annunciare i vincitori del premio GRI Readers Choice Awards 2010Amsterdam, 27 maggio 2010GRI e i suoi partner nell organizzazione dell evento (KPMG Spain, KPMG Netherlands, SustainAbility, ACCA, Futerra, TCS e lo sponsor esclusivo Petrobras) sono lieti di comunicare i vincitori del premio GRI Readers Choice Awards 2010 . Durante una festosa cerimonia svoltasi durante la Conferenza GRI ad Amsterdam, la scorsa sera, GRI ha accolto i vincitori sul palco e ha lodato la loro capacità di entrare in sintonia con la propria audience attraverso il reporting di sostenibilità . I vincitori sono Banco do Brasil, Banco Bradesco, Vale e Natura Cosmeticos (tutti brasiliani) . The GRI Readers Choice Awards are not decided by a group of experts judging reports against criteria - they represent the voice of a wide spectrum of stakeholders- readers who have thought about the quality of reporting, who have been engaged by the reporters and who want to have their say . This is the essence of the Readers Choice Awards - it is stakeholder engagement: employees, investors, suppliers, distributors, consumers - and not least company managers . The GRI Readers Choice Awards has generated far more interest and attention from around the world with twice as many participants in 2010 than the first edition in 2008 . Readers from 55 countries voted on the shortlisted reports . In 2008, Europeans were the largest regional group of participants followed by the Asia-Pacific region and the Americas . In 2010, European enthusiasm is undiminished but we ve seen significant growth in interest from India, the USA, China, Argentina, Greece, and Italy . However, the big news is a huge growth in participation from Brazil . Readers that took part in the Readers Choice Awards Survey chose reports that exemplified just those qualities in a report that they thought were important . As such, these votes have been cast for reasons, and the analysis of those reasons has been a fascinating exercise . Solitaire Townsend (Co-founder of Futerra) finds that Brazilian reporters have raised the bar for everyone and looks forward to seeing other reporting countries pulling a Brazilian the next time . Ernst Ligteringen (CE Global Reporting Initiative) is pleased with the enthusiasm of the Brazilian reporters and readers in the Readers Choice Awards and Survey, but nevertheless stresses that sustainability reporting from organizations from other regions is also to be acknowledged . Sam Turnbull (Marketing Director, ACCA) says that although it is evident that Brazil is leading in terms of attracting a massive voting population, other countries are following closely .
