Define your game plan for digital transformation at X-Change 2018

February 2018 News

Wonderware Southern Africa’s 26th annual User Conference, X-Change 2018, will return to the picturesque Champagne Sports Resort, from 15-18 April 2018. X-Change has been a success for a quarter of a century because it has always delivered three consistent values: business and networking opportunities, the key to improved operational benefits and an unequalled insight into the technologies and approaches that drive it all.

This year’s X-Change will address the recent addition of Schneider Electric Software solutions to the portfolio and will now also feature industry-specific tracks from mining, metals and minerals, food and beverage, oil and gas, water and wastewater, as well as industrial manufacturing industries.

Technology drives opportunity

Industries and businesses around the world are faced with an enormous amount of pressures across multiple dimensions. Declining commodity prices create pressure in terms of the investment abilities of companies, while heightened regulatory compliance creates challenges for industries and businesses they have never faced before. The modern workforce is shifting in terms of how work is performed while the modern enterprise strives to retain as much institutional knowledge as possible, and improving safety continues to be paramount across all facets of the enterprise.

Digital transformation merges technology innovation with domain expertise. This enables not only the contextualisation of new and existing data but also delivers actionable insights and information the enterprise can execute upon in an effort to close the loop towards continual process improvement.

To illustrate the point that such technologies are business enablers, a dozen presentations by end-users will illustrate how Wonderware and Schneider Electric Software are helping them achieve their operational and business goals. But this is only a fraction of the dozens more presentations that will address key issues across most industrial domains.

What’s in it for you?

In short, a game plan to improve productivity and return on capital, enable insights across enterprise value chains, enhance competitiveness, improve customer experience, and cut the hype.

X-Change provides in-depth information sharing, education and networking opportunities in a power-packed three day event. Attend product roadmaps, solution and industry-specific tracks, and deep-dive technical breakouts. X-Change also features two days of demos, displays, and complimentary hands-on training courses in the Collaboration Expo.
