(Download conference brochure here.)
BlueCielo ECM Solutions invites you to attend our fourth annual user conference (now titled BlueCielo ECM Frontiers). Our 2008 conference will revisit the historic Biltmore Hotel in sunny Coral Gables, Florida, due to the fantastic response and success we had with the location last year.
BlueCielo customers and partners who attended in 2007 will remember a
sneak preview of our exciting product roadmap, strategic sessions to help
boost their bottom line, case-studies from their peers, technical seminars,
industry-specific breakouts and more. Not forgetting golfing under the Florida
sun, airboating on the Everglades, enjoying the ocean view from one of Miami’s snazziest rooftop bars and touring the famed Art Deco District on South Beach.
This year’s participants can look forward to another packed insightful program
featuring industry keynote speaker Houghton LeRoy, research director of ARC
Advisory Group, the leading research and advisory firm for manufacturing and
supply chain solutions worldwide, and many other exciting highlights.
Integrity & Agility: Optimizing Your Processes for Managing Engineering Content is the theme for 2008, which addresses the most pressing challenges many companies are facing in managing their engineering and asset information.
Integrity – Organizations need to ensure the integrity of their engineering
and asset information to help them increase operational efficiency, decrease
lost production time and reduce the risk of non-compliance. Your engineering
content always needs to be accurate, easily tracked, quickly accessible and
there on demand.
Agility – Today’s fast-moving environment demands agility – the ability to
do things quickly, constantly innovate, enhance existing processes, adapt to
change and juggle multiple projects. Global agility is also increasingly vital,
with numerous projects now carried out in a flat world.
Over the past years, BlueCielo ECM Frontiers has become the premier networking, learning and inspirational event for InnoCielo customers and BlueCielo partners to interact with BlueCielo executives and learn more about the future of InnoCielo solutions, share their experiences and get first-hand information on facing the latest business challenges.
