TOLLAND, Conn., USA, (PRWEB) May 30, 2012
Gerber Technology welcomes Keith Krystofolsky as vice president of Professional Services for the companys YuniquePLM and webPDM software products. He will manage Gerbers global team of consultants and technical experts through customer implementations and continuous software enhancements.
Krystofolsky brings with him more than a decade of experience working with PLM systems and processes across a number of global, diverse, multi-channel companies. He comes to Gerber from Fifth and Pacific Companies (formerly Liz Claiborne, Inc.) where he was the director of design and product development systems. Prior to that, he was the manager of product technology at New York & Company, Inc. and an application analyst at Limited Brands.
Donny Askin, president of Gerbers YuniquePLM business, said, In the past two years, more than 40 fashion companies throughout North America and Europe have adopted YuniquePLM to drive business growth and process improvement across their organizations. From these successes comes a wealth of “voice of customer” feedback that drives continuous product improvement. Among other things, Keith will serve as the direct liaison between our users and our product development team.
Krystofolsky said, I have worked with a number of PLM systems in the past and am delighted to be working with a product that I know is wholeheartedly embraced by people across the fashion industry designers and IT professionals alike because its intuitive to use, makes it easier to collaborate with partners, and, in the end, helps teams create a more appealing product for the consumer.
YuniquePLM is the recipient of the 2011 Frost & Sullivan Global Fashion Product Lifecycle Management Product Leadership Award. Frost & Sullivan analysts evaluated several PLM contenders based on product features and functionality, product innovation, product acceptance in the marketplace and customer value enhancements. Their findings state, “YuniquePLM is a well-drawn solution created by a team of people from the industry who have hands-on expertise in addressing the needs of the fashion PLM industry across the globe. This has enabled the wide adoption and acceptance of YuniquePLM across various end-users in the fashion industry.”
