Microsoft Worldwide Manufacturing Operations Forum 2009

Microsoft and the Microsoft Manufacturing User Group (MSMUG) are holding their annual Worldwide Manufacturing Operations Forum on October 8, 2009 at the Reliant Center in Houston, Texas in conjunction with ISA EXPO 2009. The forum brings together global manufacturers and leading independent software vendors (ISVs) to address key issues and opportunities in manufacturing. During the forum, Microsoft will present its role and strategy in manufacturing operations, an updated roadmap of its key products and technologies, as well as the broader strategy to secure and manage IT assets in this area.
