Midmarket high-tech manufacturers face intense competition globally – and that means it is critical to maximize offshoring and outsourcing tactics to cut costs, increase efficiency, and maintain competitive advantage.

Learn how a successful, high growth innovator, ARUBA NETWORKS, is achieving operational excellence in this challenging environment.

View this panel presentation including ARUBA Networks, SAP, and TFI as they discuss key outsource manufacturing strategies.

View this vital Webcast for insight into how Aruba Networks relies on strategic partners to build, move, inventory, and design key products and components. The company’s primary focus is on execution, on-time delivery to customers, product cost, product quality, and inventory. Objectives like these are even more challenging for high-growth midmarket enterprises when resources are scarce and customer service is critical.
