Microsoft Envision conference brings IoT to NOLA
New Orleans might be known more for etouffee than IoT, but that was before Microsoft Envision. This new conference launches in New Orleans on April 4th and will highlight business trends and introduce solutions with a big focus on IoT.
As a business leader looking for strategies for your company, IoT is likely top of mind. In a conference that lasts only two and a half days, 12 sessions either touch on or focus entirely on IoT. Here’s a sample of topics you’ll get to choose from:
- IoT: transformation through a connected world — Be one of the organizations that is generating ROI and driving efficiencies by learning how to use IoT. Speaker: Bharat Sandhu
- The intelligence factor: incorporating advanced analytics and IoT into customer engagement models —Improve your customer engagement by combining advanced analytics and IoT technologies with Microsoft Dynamics CRM. Speakers: Angela Bandlow, Jujhar Singh
- The connected home —Uncover new business opportunities like Honeywell, who is in 150 million homes and 10 million buildings, and is setting the pace in the connected economy with its SaaS-based revenue model. Speakers: Indranil Sircar, Scott Harkins
- IoT retail solution —Improve planning and drive sales with Cognizant’s RetailMate solution, which makes business intelligence and customer buying patterns directly available to retailers. Speaker: Cal Kailasam
