Noon - Lunch

1PM - Educational Sessions

Session 1: Report Platform Consolidation by ReportsNow

Sooner or later, nearly every company finds itself owning multiple reporting software tools that have conflicting requirements, overlapping functionality, and different interfaces. These technologies often become obsolete or fall into disuse. Over time, employee training and adoption across the enterprise, coupled with the need to support a multitude of solutions, becomes a costly IT and HR liability. Mismatched technologies force users to retrieve partial data from different tools, resulting in inaccurate reporting. Join us to learn more about how tool consolidation can be an asset for your enterprise.

Session 2: Optimize Your JDE Edward Environment: Job Scheduling vs. Enterprise Workload Automation by Tidal Software

Enterprise workload automation allows you to manage your environment from a single view – with centralized command-and-control over all systems, all applications, all business processes and the jobs that comprise them. Jon Fredrickson with Oshkosh Corporation will discuss how enterprise workload automation enables Oshkosh to:

• Centrally schedule, automate, and manage workloads across a diverse mix of systems, databases, and applications – all from one view
• Reduce human errors and the inefficiencies of script management or having to write integrations to new systems or applications

2PM NETWORKING!
