Perfect Match: Cloud + Manufacturing | Uphoff on Industry

The Big Themes:



Turnover in a post-pandemic world. It appears
that we’re going to see a higher level of turnover in companies
as we come out of the pandemic. A year of forced locked down, a
strong economy emerging and a sense of “a need for change” is
driving this increase turn over. This is both a problem as well
as an opportunity for business leaders today.


Industry cloud: Market transition or marketing
hype? The major tech players are jockeying for position to
dominate the emerging position of vertical industry clouds.
This is far, far more than simply new marketing nomenclature
and positioning.


Manufacturing is the next big tech market.
Reshoring, the Buy American Act, the Berry Amendment have
accelerated investment in technology and a pent-up economy are
creating a massive sustained resurgence in manufacturing.


This is also creating a massive opportunity for tech
vendors: Many of whom have yet to really understand
the depth of the market opportunity that manufacturing
represents today.
