From current solutions that leverage IoT technology, mobility and advancements in in-memory and cloud computing – to the more cutting edge innovations in augmented reality and advanced visualizations -chemical companies are seeking to roll-out the latest technologies when applicable and when a clear business value can be demonstrated.


The chemical community has a strong interest in wanting to better understand the business value and benefits of in-memory technology. Businesses are seeking ways to reduce complexity throughout their business processes, the mechanisms by which their systems support their business and through the interface and employee user experiences within those systems. Organizations are also eager to learn how new user interface technologies can be leveraged solely or alongside in-memory technology to reduce organization wide complexity and increase efficiency and productivity.

  • What are the evidenced use cases and business values for migrating to in-memory platforms?
  • What are the best practices and most common pitfalls experienced when migrating to an in-memory solution?

Cloud Computing
