Panel: What Do Cars, Clothes, Wardrobes and MRI Machines Have in Common? - Scott Guymer, Philips; Remi Higuchi, H&M group; David Terol, Philips; Jan Magnusson, Ikea; Martin Wanerskar, Volvo Cars
Tuesday April 1, 2025 11:50 - 12:25 BST
Level 0 | ICC Capital Hall | Room 1
What does it take for non-software companies to adopt and thrive with modern developer platforms like Backstage? In this panel, leaders from renowned global brands—spanning automotive, fashion, furniture, and healthcare—will share their journeys of overcoming unique challenges to improve developer experience.

These organizations face struggles familiar to many Backstage adopters: integrating with legacy systems, fostering internal alignment, and proving the value of a developer portal in environments where technology supports the business rather than leads it. From initial hurdles to transformative successes, our panelists will discuss how Backstage became a key driver of modernization.

Join this session for candid insights, practical strategies, and diverse perspectives on how Backstage is transforming industries you might not expect—and why their lessons matter for your Backstage journey.
