The conference features three individual session tracks tailored to QAD solutions updates, developers and consultants. 

• The Solutions track features a comprehensive update and review of the QAD product and technology roadmap.
• The Consultants tracks focus on product training for functional consultants delivering the latest QAD solutions to customers.  This year’s training features QAD Automation Solutions and Quality Management.
• The Developers track is a practical and hands-on session aimed at developing and working with apps and the QAD Platform

“Teamwork is the most effective way to bring together the QAD partner ecosystem in EMEA, exchange ideas and learn from the people that help us provide the highest level of service to our customers,” said QAD Senior Vice President, EMEA Steve Gardner. “The manufacturing industry here in EMEA, and around the world is evolving so quickly, forcing our customers to adjust to disruption faster than they ever have before.  QAD’s goal is to design applications that help them to recognize disruption, adapt to it, and eventually leverage it into competitive advantage.  The developers, consultants and partners we work with, and who attend Teamwork each year, are vital to helping us carry out that mission.”
