Optimize Asset Performance at the Least Energy Cost

INFOR
Johnny Bofilios - Global Asset Sustainability Director
Did you know that you can integrate energy demand management with asset
management at your plant or facility to help maintain and extend the life of your
assets by reducing your overall energy consumption? An energy and carbon
management strategy combined with enterprise asset management (EAM/CMMS)
functionality will let you identify, optimize and automate proactive maintenance,
comparing both the asset performance and its energy usage across your
enterprise. Numerous companies such as a high-profile paper manufacturer, a
first-class University and a Tier 1 automotive manufacturer have integrated
energy into their maintenance strategies and have reduced energy consumption
by at least 6 percent, consequently reducing their carbon emissions. In this
session, you’ll learn the strategy to improve the operational, financial and
environmental performance of your assets while preserving capital and lowering
energy costs.

Automating Document Based Business Correspondence
Fri 1:30 PM 2:30 PM INFOR Top Gun PC Lab (Davidson)
Vanguard Systems, Inc.
Lori Johnston, Bill Wilson
With today’s economic climate, overhead is being cut to the bone and Executive
Management is pressured to increase profits. To accomplish this, leading
companies are automating document based business correspondence to
improve communication with partners, customers and suppliers.
Effective document management enables companies to streamline document
intensive correspondence and make vital business communications more
efficient. Most obvious savings with document automation are found in the
reduction of paper consumption, less equipment maintenance, and more
efficient use of labor. However the biggest benefit is faster time to cash which is
often overlooked. Faster information exchange Eliminates bottlenecks in communication
Reduce the number of “touches” Accelerate accounts receivable Improve the bottomline
In our session, we will be reviewing processes which benefit organizations of all
sizes to increase productivity and cost savings.
