Digital & IT will enable and facilitate this change with the clear ambition to become the digital capability of the Volvo Group and enable value creation at scale. To support this change, Volvo Group's PLM & PDM landscape is undergoing a significant transformation to enable the speed needed to meet future requirements and changing business models, including a more connected partner ecosystem.

In his keynote presentation, Transformation Journey and PLM & PDM Modernization to the Digital Future, Josef will share learnings on Volvo Group's journey and the key factors to consider in a PLM/PDM transformation.
