Fight Complexity with Flexibility
How Self-service Software can
help Teams Innovate Faster
Virtual Conference sponsored by Crosser Technologies
January 17th, 2019
11:00 AM until 12:00 PM EST
What you'll learn:
Industrial companies around the world are struggling with the complexity of their loT engagements. Technical challenges with huge data volumes, fragmented systems, protocols and sites – and on top of that – challenges with network security setups, legacy systems and multiple data sources and destinations is one part of the equation. The other part is human. When the shop floor engineers, IT staff, developers, maintenance staff and data scientists all are stakeholders, then the need for solutions where all can collaborate become critical.
– What is happening in the market?
– How can edge analytics play a role?
– Lessons learned from Valmet industrial internet initiative.
– In what way can Self-service software increase collaboration & speed of innovation?
In this Virtual Conference, we’ll discuss the need to control the cost and complexity of IIoT, the role of Edge Analytics and how self-service software can help teams innovate faster.
