AG's University Relations department has announced its first Innovation World
2014 Idea Contest for universities worldwide. The company has invited faculty
members and students from universities everywhere to develop a concept
describing the idea and a tangible model for a showcase to be presented at
Innovation World 2014 from October 13th to 15th in New
Orleans, Louisiana, USA. The project should highlight Software AG's technology
and demonstrate the software’s potential with regard to the four mega trends
big data, mobile, social and cloud services in a tangible way. The winning team
will receive up to $10,000 to help fund development of the showcase.
The Software AG product suite helps organizations
achieve their business objectives faster. The company's big data, integration
and business process management technologies enable customers to drive
operational efficiency, modernize their systems and optimize processes for
smarter decisions and better services. Faculty members and students from around
the world are being called on to develop a compelling technology and business
model in order to demonstrate the solid benefits that companies can gain from Software
AG's portfolio. The winning model will be demonstrated at Innovation World 2014 and presented to the Innovation World audience by
the students.
