WSI - Connecting the Dots - Platforms - Elias Josefsson from Husqvarna

Elias Josefsson from Husqvarna presents their take on "One platform to enable them all !"

This presentation is about how to create a mindset for the overall strategy of product management. Husqvarna are using same solutions in an array of products and to minimize cost and long-term product maintenance they are moving via generations of platforms.

We’re inviting all tech-curious individuals to come and hear three fascinating talks on the topic of product development using your own platform, both from hardware, software and resource/cost perspectives.

• What is a platform?
• And what are the benefits of using a platform-strategy compared to just developing yet another product?
• In this session you will hear two product companies talk about their experience and view on the topic of platforms.
• What made them decide to develop/use a platform?
• What PRO's and CON's did they find?

Then Sigma Connectivity WSI's CTO/Chief Architect will elaborate on platforms based on many customer projects as well as from his experience in developing platforms for Smartphones at Sony Ericsson Mobile communication.

When should you develop your own platform and when should you use a commercial platform? 

This is the recording from that event
