Book early for this year’s X-Change User Group Conference
February 2019
News
The largest industrial software event in Africa, X-Change 2019, is almost upon us. This year X-Change will take place at the Sun City Resort from the 17-20 March.
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.
• Learning the new way of work through Edge to Enterprise.
At X-Change this year, IS³ will be addressing the addition of AVEVA software to its portfolio.
X-Change also has a jam-packed two-day agenda focusing on industry sessions specific to mining, minerals and metals, hybrid, oil and gas and general manufacturing, including customer success stories, products and solutions.
These sessions and workshops are designed to demonstrate how Edge to Enterprise transforms business processes and the entire value chain to align with business goals.
X-Change is an opportunity to learn, share experiences and network at Africa’s longest running industrial software event.
