BOSTON, MA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- May 3, 2007 -- The much anticipated Product Innovation & Engineering Summit will kick off May 23-24, 2007 at the Seaport Hotel and World Trade Center, in Boston, MA, presented by Aberdeen Group, a Harte-Hanks Company (NYSE: HHS). This is the preeminent networking and educational event for product management, product development, and engineering executives to accelerate strategies for increasing product profitability through improved product innovation, product development, and engineering processes and enabling PLM technology.

The Product Innovation and Engineering Summit is part of Aberdeen's annual executive summit series that is the only executive event in which participants will collect actionable recommendations from Best-in-Class product innovation practitioners, which can immediately put into action to improve their own company's product development and engineering performance.

Founded in fact-based research, the exclusive summit will identify how companies are transforming their product innovation processes and product lifecycle management technology in the face of increasing complexity and corporate demands for profits.

Limited to an intimate audience of only 200 executive level participants seeking to hear from and network with industry thought leaders, attendees will witness first hand how companies are managing the complexity of global design and global supply chains; increasing speed to market; improving product reliability; managing product data and processes in collaborative engineering environments; implementing best practices to meet their product development targets; designing products that comply with increasingly complex regulations; developing products that incorporate mechanical parts, electronics, and embedded software / systems engineering, adopting product simulation and analysis to reduce the number of prototypes, and much more.

The summit will focus on and reveal recent research findings, conduct on site polling of the product innovators and engineers on site, and provide participants the opportunity to network with some of the technology vendor summit sponsors that enabled the best-in-class industry presenters to transform their product innovation processes and product lifecycle management for maximum productivity and profit. Summit sponsors include: Agile, AutoDesk, IHS, UGS, Zuken, Smart Org, IBM, and InfoTech.
