Episys attracts International guests to Wembley event
Episys, the global information technology solutions and services company based in Royston, attracted over 350 delegates from the private and public sector to its annual Global Signage & Labelling Convention at Wembley Stadium in London on Tuesday 19th May 2009. Visitors included delegates from the US, Australia and Europe.
The event enabled Episys to present and demonstrate its range of solutions, including Retail Enterprise Suite™ and Ultimate™ Labelling Solution, in conjunction with many of its technology partners, including Canon, Dell, Epson, HP, Lexmark, Nordic ID, Retec Interface, Sony, Synergix, Toshiba, ZBD and Zebra Technologies, who demonstrated their complementary solutions in the Innovations Pavilion. Episys set up a retail aisle in the Pavilion to show its solutions in a realistic environment where the company’s concept of “one version of the truth” was aptly demonstrated by Retail Enterprise Suite™ generating updates to paper signage, electronic shelf edge and promotional displays, and multimedia digital signage screens.
The day started with Derek Buchanan, Chief Executive Officer of Episys, who welcomed delegates to the event, and explained the value of Episys’ solutions that are proven in times of downturn to reduce costs and introduce efficiencies to organisations across many industries including retail, manufacturing, logistics, pharmaceutical and healthcare. This was followed by a keynote presentation by Peter James Ryan, Australia’s leading strategic marketing consultant with over 25 years of marketing and promotional experience, who described how by sticking to the basics there was opportunity in the current economic climate for organisations to progress and enjoy success.
Visitors were then given the choice between three breakout sessions – Retail, Heathcare and Manufacturing & Logistics. Each included presentations and case studies from Episys’ clients and partners, including Belk, North America’s largest privately owned department store chain, Pets at home, Darent Valley Hospital, Thame Laboratories, Portsmouth Hospitals NHS Trust, Bisley Office Equipment and ColArt
