About the webinar:
Join us for a special virtual event designed for Canadian SMB manufacturing innovators.
For SMB manufacturers, there are many challenges to overcome on the path to business transformation. These challenges include supply chain crunches, quality control issues, and plant floor inefficiencies. To differentiate your business, you need to enable innovation, fully leverage your data, and increase agility—all while controlling operating costs.
As the world’s leading cloud platform, Amazon Web Services (AWS) understands the unique needs of SMB manufacturers like you. We know that smaller manufacturers don’t always have the resources to implement new technologies and manage infrastructures. Using the advanced capabilities of the cloud, you can scale to accommodate fast business growth and be part of a community in which local Canadian companies can share and learn from one another.
Please join us for a special fireside chat roundtable recording featuring conversations with Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) company Mobiltex and Mosaic Manufacturing. These manufacturers will share what they've learned as they migrated to AWS and how the cloud is helping them scale and innovate.
Who should attend:
SMB leaders across all lines of business, including innovation, digital, product, finance, marketing, sales, HR, operations, and technology.
