Recent survey by the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has shown that Interoperability Problems cost the US Capital Facilities Industry over $15.8 billion per annum. What is more, PLM market trends consistently show that integration and customisation costs account for over 50% of the deployment cost of any PLM solution. It is not surprising therefore that Enterprise Integration is at the top of CEO's priorities.

With presentations from Tubelines, MBDA, MoD, IBM and Datamation consultants, this one day seminar will show how Enterprise Integration can help companies transform their businesses.

The morning session will feature presentations that will cover concepts, strategies, benefits and best practice. The afternoon session will include an MoD case study. It will also include a presentation and a demonstration by IBM focusing on ‘the art of the possible’ with regard to integration of technology across the Enterprise. This will demonstrate, not only integration of information and processes, but also the delivery mechanisms. That is making the information available to the right people, at the right time, in the right format and on the right devices.

The Seminar is designed for executives, senior managers, project leaders and professionals in charge of or involved in Enterprise Integration Projects.
