Organizations can transform their product disclosure processes through seven innovative approaches:
1. Roll automation can increase efficiency and reduce time-to-market by automating tasks and allowing parallel work.
2. Common content management can reduce verification time by centrally managing repeated content.
3. Master shells can improve time-to-market for entire portfolios by authoring content once for conditional use.
4. White labelling can produce branded variants without duplicating verification.
5. Verification certification provides transparency and auditability of the disclosure process.
6. One-click publishing can generate documents from a single verified content source.
7. Data integration can leverage business data to populate disclosure documents.
The document discusses the evolution of barcode labeling software to meet changing global business needs.

The content for this excerpt was taken directly from the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Retail Product Life-Cycle Management (PLM) Applications 2012 Vendor Assessment" by Leslie Hand.
The retail product life-cycle management (PLM) applications market for apparel, footwear, and hardlines products continues to evolve, with the focus shifting from merely enabling improved technical specification, sampling, and sourcing management processes to acting as a central lynchpin, from a supply chain perspective, empowering retailers to conduct customer-centric, efficient, and effective brand management.
Key findings included in this document:
● Retail PLM allows retailers to harmonize decisions at each step of the product life cycle, resulting in more profitable product launches, fewer product failures, and more business success.
● Retailers improve the performance of their companies and, specifically, private label brands with a broad spectrum of product life-cycle management capabilities from product conception to order receipt.
● Vendors that serve this space range from those that have long histories in PLM and CAD, vendors that initially were sourcing specialists and those that have emerged specifically to serve retail product or merchandise life-cycle management (retail PLM or MLM) needs. Regardless of heritage, many of these companies have increased retail-specific R&D in the past several years.
● To address the business and technical requirements of retail PLM processes, beyond core product development and sourcing, vendors are developing, partnering, or acquiring analytics, 3D visualization, social networking, and collaborative platform technologies

The document discusses product proliferation, which is when organizations market many variations of the same products through different colors, sizes, and uses. While this diversity can help firms capture market share, it can also waste economic resources and confuse consumers. The document also discusses cost leadership strategies, product bundling, and economies of scope. Product bundling involves offering multiple products together as one combined product, while economies of scope are cost advantages from providing a variety of products rather than specializing in one. Finally, the document outlines the value chain concept and primary and support activities in value chain analysis.
