Joining Lectra, leading consulting firm Walter Wilhelm Associates (WWA) will explore the global processes needed for today's companies to meet the concepts of creativity without limits and collaboration without compromise.

Lectra will showcase Lectra Fashion PLM, an extended enterprise solution designed for the fashion industry incorporating all steps in the product design and development process, including color specification, textile design, style design, merchandising and pattern engineering. Included in the presentation, Lectra will discuss how its professional textile and fashion design platform, Kaledo®, helps creative teams accelerate the design process while improving communication and collaboration across the supply chain.
