Software AG Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chairman of the Management Board and Group Executive Board, Karl-Heinz Streibich, will pay his first visit to the South African branch since it became a fully-owned and locally run subsidiary in 2005.

Here to present a keynote address at the company's annual user conference - ProcessForum 2011 - on 8 June, Streibich will also be meeting many of their blue-chip customers before and during the event.

“We are honoured and delighted to have Mr Streibich in South Africa,” says Emma Murray, Vice-President of Sales at Software AG South Africa. “Our annual user conference is the highlight of our year for us, and we expect over 500 customers to attend at Vodacom World. This year we have again focused on sharing our customer case studies over the afternoon sessions, preceded by keynotes in the morning plenary session.”

Streibich's address will be:

The Transformation to Business Process Excellence:

In today's demanding economy, progress requires change. Globalisation, intense competition and commoditisation of products force organisations to re-evaluate how they operate and how they innovate. Through practical experience, proven technology and innovative methodologies, see how Software AG customers align business and IT departments around common, achievable business goals - and most importantly, how they apply both a service and process orientation to rapidly achieve those goals.

Here for only two days, Streibich will conduct media interviews, customer meetings and attend the conference.
