In just a few weeks, OSIsoft, our 2011 Sustainability Partner of the Year, will be hosting their 23rd annual Users’ Conference in San Francisco, California.
Information technologies and good data can yield insight that drives action. In order to address Sustainability goals of any kind, an organization must be able to measure and manage their operational performance. Benchmarking, trend analysis and real-time monitoring and control capabilities are becoming required elements of energy efficiency and sustainability strategies. Supported by the growing capabilities of cloud services and big data analytics that enable even greater insight and action, the opportunities for all of us to drive efficiency and sustainability into our operations are very exciting.
OSIsoft has been helping enterprise customers optimize performance by harnessing the value of real-time data from their equipment, plants and overall operations for 32 years. From April 23rd -26th, the OSIsoft Users’ Conference will attract more than 1,000 industry experts and customers to discuss the opportunities made possible by the era of big data, innovations and trends in enterprise performance management, and showcase real world results from customers using the PI System, the industry standard in enterprise infrastructure, for management of real-time data and events.
We always look forward to attending the Users Conference. Of particular interest for us is the Day Zero Sustainability Track – OSIsoft will be joined by industry speakers and panelists to deliver a full day of discussion that will illustrate the important connection between the data collected from equipment on the plant floor and the overall sustainability of an enterprise organization. Bill Mitchel, Sr. Director, Environmental Sustainability at Microsoft will deliver a morning keynote entitled “The Link Between Technology and Sustainability” and participate in discussions throughout the day.
Registration for the event is still open…and attendance to the Day Zero track is free! We look forward to seeing you, and all of our friends at OSIsoft, at the 2012 Users’ Conference in San Francisco later this month!
