X-Change 2012 user conference
January 2012
News
Twenty years is a long time, particularly if you plan to stay on top of your game for the duration. X-CHANGE 2012 is Invensys Wonderware Southern Africa’s twentieth user conference and the company says you can bet that it will live up to expectations delivering quality information that benefits the bottom line.
“Of course, X-CHANGE 2012 will have to top all its predecessors and that is not going to be a walk in the park but we know how to do it,” says Invensys Operations Management’s Jaco Markwat. “We also know what you are going through in these trying times of financial uncertainty. The way out of this uncertainty is to control your own destiny by improving agility and efficiency. After all, people still need beneficiated minerals and manufactured goods just like they always did.
“With Invensys Operations Management now in South Africa, your choice of solution options just got a lot wider and more exciting. So X-CHANGE 2012 will have an entire stream devoted to what this means to your bottom line. We will also feature dedicated information streams on business, technology, solutions and the contribution ecosystem partners can make to your business health and how your colleagues have benefitted from using Invensys solutions.
“There will be training programmes so that you can make sure our solutions do what it says on the tin and you will be able to schedule interviews with local and international leaders and authorities in the world of industrial automation and enterprise information integration. And, of course, you will be able to network with the cream of southern Africa’s industrial professionals and exchange ideas with them – that is why this conference is called what it is.
“Also, you do not have to come alone as we will be hosting a full and entertaining partner programme for those who do not necessarily share your enthusiasm for industrial automation and IT. Spend three days at Sun City where we guarantee you an informative and enjoyable experience you are not likely to forget in a hurry. So what do you say?”
X-CHANGE is the longest running, most informative and biggest conference of its type in the region. Delegates who have attended before will know this to be true; newcomers are in for a very pleasant surprise.
Watch this space for details.
