Warren Harris, Tata Technologies President, to Discuss Creative Application of PLM Technology to Keep German Market Competitive

Stuttgart, June 15, 2010 – Tata Technologies, a global leader in Engineering Services Outsourcing (ESO), Enterprise Solutions services, and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) today announced that “BETTER INNOVATION on Tour,” its travelling presentation focusing upon its contributions to the development of the Tata Nano, the world’s most affordable car, will make a stop at PLM-Forum 2010 on 16 June, in Mannheim, Germany. Mr. Warren Harris, Tata Technologies President and COO, will make the presentation – one of several keynote addresses scheduled for the event.

Using the Tata Nano, and the contributions that Tata Technologies made to put the vehicle into production and bring it to market, Mr. Harris will discuss the principles of frugal engineering, the creative application of PLM technology to enhance time-to-market while reducing development costs, and the importance of combining these elements to keep the German market competitive.

Tata Technologies played a key role in engineering the Nano, which is produced by Tata Motors in India, for the Indian market. The company is using the car to highlight its full-vehicle engineering and design capabilities to clients, engineering students and select automotive and engineering media.

BETTER INNOVATION on Tour kicked off in April, in the U.S., with visits to client sites in Illinois, Michigan, and a stop at SAE Headquarters in Warrendale, Penn. On 14 May, the tour visited “Goodyear Innovation Day,” at the Goodyear Innovation Center in Akron, Ohio; and 8-10 June, BETTER INNOVATION on Tour appeared at Auto21 in Windsor, Ontario, Canada as a part of that country’s largest gathering devoted to automotive innovation and automotive component development.

“The innovative thinking that brought the Tata Nano to market is symbolic of what Tata Technologies has to offer the manufacturing industry,” said Warren Harris, Tata Technologies’ President and COO. “Tata Technologies was front-and-center in engineering and developing the Nano; working closely with Tata Motors and with a significant number of the Nano project suppliers.”

Tata Technologies contributed to more than 18 patents on the Nano project, according to Harris, “Our work on the Nano is part of a sweeping wave of change within the automotive industry and within manufacturing overall – the use of truly global engineering resources.”
