During this one-hour webinar you will learn about why so many U.S. manufacturers have moved production to Mexico under Mexico’s “Maquiladora Program”. If you ever considered moving some of your production to Mexico and didn’t….it might be time to think about it again. Some of the benefits that Mexico offers U.S. manufacturers are:

Close proximity to the United States
A young, low-cost, quality conscious workforce
No restrictions on foreign investment
The benefits afforded Mexico under the NAFTA
Mexico's 12 Free Trade Agreements with 32 countries
Since the inception of the Maquiladora Program in 1965 over 3,000 U.S. manufacturers have moved production to Mexico. The Maquiladora Program:

Allows Maquiladoras to be 100% foreign owned
Allow Maquiladoras to import duty free into Mexico all production related machinery, equipment, materials, and components where the articles are covered by NAFTA Certificates of Origin
Does not restrict what can be produced by a Maquiladoras
Allow Maquiladoras to sell a signification portion of their production in the Mexican national market
During the webinar you will hear two plant managers of U.S.-owned Maquiladoras present case histories of their move to Mexico and the president of Mexico’s oldest “Shelter Plan Program” will explain how easy it is to start-up and operate a Maquiladora Plant under the shelter plan.

There is an old business adage that states information is power. These days it’s more accurate to say that information is power -- when it is secure and reliable.

Achieving profitability in a competitive global marketplace is a major priority for most businesses. Often this comes at the expense of maintaining effective controls over integrity and accountability within an organization. And even those companies that do try to establish these controls typically place this responsibility into the hands of individuals who have little, if any, visibility into the inner workings of the organization.

Identity management and governance has become a focal point for companies trying to meet regulatory and industry expectations around information integrity and accountability. The rapid emergence of Web-based technologies has forced businesses to adapt to a radically different marketplace and has led to the evolution of open business models. Open models encourage flexibility and ease of use – but they also expose an organization to risk.

Information is power and information security is more crucial now than ever. And whether it is the protection of proprietary technology, customer information or financial data, identity management should be a key component of any corporate security strategy.

In this month’s Perficient Perspectives we look at Identity Management:

- What is it?
- The three keys of an effective identity management strategy
- Business alignment
- Executive involvement
- Measurable results
- Identity management solutions
- Where does technology fit in?
- Why technology alone is not the answer
- How to assess your own level of corporate exposure to identity abuse and infrastructure vulnerabilities

Learn a new definition for spiders and crawling in this in-depth webinar explaining the inner workings of search engines. Learn why SEO best practices work by understanding how search engines index web pages and use their secret algorithms to determine results. More importantly, we tie this all back into your business, and discuss how an understanding of the web and search translates into an effective web site for your company.

Your web strategy defines what you're trying to accomplish on the web -- what you're setting out to do and the tools you're going to use to achieve that goal. This webinar discusses both the questions you should ask yourself and the tools at your disposal, so you can make sure your website gets where it needs to be in 2010 and beyond.
