EXHIBITION & SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES

Go2Learn announces their newest program…

AME EXHIBITION & SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIESProduced by Go2Learn

WHAT is the Asset Management Ecosystem (AME)?The Asset Management Ecosystem is a community and event produced by Go2Learn. It provides an opportunity for organizations to explore the possibilities to achieve effective, efficient and comprehensive asset management. Filling the solution gaps is what this community is all about, but with a holistic, strategic and integrated viewpoint. Organizations can look at this event as an asset management superstore, where they can come to one place and talk to all the vendors rather than being called by them one at a time.

WHY the Asset Management Ecosystem?Every company has a goal to manage their investments in physical assets more effectively. What they often fail at is understanding how these assets need to integrate into a master strategy, manage the asset lifecycle, preform efficient and proactive maintenance of the assets, and effectively managing the maintenance workforce. Organizations strive to have their assets run more reliably, at lower cost, and with improved safety. But many of these programs struggle to succeed because the efforts put forth focus on the latest technology solution without addressing the underlying problems. Successful asset management must begin with a comprehensive and “right-fit” strategy for managing assets

with considerable focus on the people, process, and then the technology needed to achieve the business objectives. Effective asset management is goal-oriented, comprehensive and data-driven. It is critical to match the asset management strategy to the organizational strategy.

HOW will Asset Management Ecosystem be different?This 3-day event will cover many aspects of the journey from the initial planning to the final dismantle and clean-up of an asset and every step along the way. The goal of Asset Management Ecosystem is to give insight and expertise around reimagining the asset management ecosystem. Whether that’s learning how to better use the system you

To our future partners,

There is a lot to consider about how we approach the new and transforming economy. We are all challenged to embrace the tried and true foundations we know and the disrupters we need to be competitive.

For the last ten years, my team and I at Go2Learn have been producing dynamic, real-world, and interactive business conferences for thousands of attendees from hundreds of companies and dozens of industries around the world.

Asset Management Ecosystem is an alliance with all solution providers to have a forum to illustrate where and how they fit into the ecosystem and to give customers a holistic view of how to improve their journey.

Whether you are running JDE, Maximo, SAP, Infor or another, you most likely have gaps in your functionality that can only be addressed with a third party solution. That is why we started this new program to address these issues that I have seen for many years and heard about in thousands of conversations.

I personally invite you to join our (r)evolution to change business as usual, and together, let’s learn the possibilities to drive efficiencies.

Regards,

Steve Sinkoff, CEO, Go2Learn
