Industry Thought Leaders to Speak at Upcoming SAP International Mill Products and Mining Conferences
As Bob Dylan famously wrote, “The Times They Are a-Changin.’”
Industries the world over, including Mill and Mining (which spans metals, paper, packaging, building products, cement, concrete, forest products, textiles and cable) realize they must embrace digital technologies to survive and thrive.
Business models are transforming, industry boundaries are blurring and technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine learning are opening up entirely new capabilities for new and expanded business processes and models.
Sustainability and “purpose” are also important topics to address including efficient use of energy and water, worker safety, and recycling/circular economy. Companies now have the opportunity build their business in the context of value chains that cross boundaries instead of the old “inside out” enterprise view.
However, many companies are cemented (pun intended!) in processes and IT from the 1990's and cant support this transformation. This generation of business users has expectations for their technology experiences that cannot be met with the user interfaces from the past. Cyber risk and regulatory compliance topics such as GDPR must be addressed.
If this is something you are thinking about — come join us to learn more and talk with like-minded peers.
