Invensys Operations Management is to host a series of international events focused on enabling operational excellence using an open enterprise control system.

The event series will be a multi-discipline educational experience that will give attendees an in-depth look at how Invensys's Infusion enterprise control system (ECS) enables new opportunities for the company's clients and partners to deliver operational excellence across four key areas: control, asset, productivity and environment and safety.
The latest open technologies and collaborative business models will be explored, along with the role of Invensys's Avantis, Eurotherm, Foxboro, IMServ, Simsci-Esscor, Skelta, Triconex and Wonderware brands, all components of the Infusion ECS.
'We are offering 12 different vertical industry strategy and solutions tracks, along with product brand and user-group tracks, hands-on experiences and training that cover virtually all aspects of enterprise control, from industry and business strategy to instrumentation to connecting with ERP systems,' said Mark Davidson, vice-president - global promotional marketing and communications at Invensys Operations Management.
The Opsmanage'10 Expo area will host a variety of Invensys ecosystem partners who will present methodologies and solutions expertise for achieving control, asset productivity and environment and safety excellence.
Industry-specific presentations will showcase manufacturing, energy, infrastructure, products and software experiences, and attendees will be able to participate in hands-on demonstrations of Invensys Operations Management and partner solutions.
Additional detailed product and application training opportunities are also offered as part of the conference agenda.
As global sponsors, Microsoft and Cognizant will be on hand to discuss the results of co-innovation between Invensys, other Invensys partners and Invensys customers using their latest technology and services capabilities.
