"As Premier Sponsor at this year's Gartner conference, we are proud to present our insights with other thought leaders within the EMEA supply chain industry," said Mr. Heeres. "Our customers will benefit from the expertise of Gartner analysts as well as some of Quintiq's brightest in business areas such as manufacturing, logistics, metals and oil & gas. Access to the knowledge of so many supply chain specialists within a two-day timespan is an excellent opportunity for professionals across all industries."
Mr. Heeres' presentation, taking place at 3:45 p.m. BST on September 23, will focus on how optimizing supply chain planning processes can generate profit from untapped sources, as opposed to relying on ERP solutions that are best suited to manage day-to-day transactions. Following the presentation, Mr. Heeres will be available for media briefings to discuss the topic in greater depth and answer questions.
Ruukki specializes in providing customers with energy-efficient steel solutions. In his session, Ismo Platan, Corporate Senior VP & CIO of Ruukki will share how the partnership with Quintiq has optimized logistics and production processes on a global scale via a single platform. Availability, improved lead times, reduced inventory and faster, reliable response times are just some of the many benefits. Mr. Platan's session will occur on September 23 at 9:15 a.m. BST.
During the London conference, participants are invited to explore the Quintiq booth, PR1. Here, representatives will be on hand to discuss supply chain puzzles, Quintiq customer Ruukki will tell its real-life supply chain story, and a networking session will provide the chance to go head-to-head with peers to win a 10-task shipping challenge directly on the Quintiq 5.0 platform.
