Würzburg, May 4, 2009



It's getting worse and worse: German companies are increasingly losing track of things. Data chaos in purchasing, engineering, merchandise management, sales - almost everywhere. Yet everyone wants a high level of process reliability with consistent information chains, orders to be processed even faster and more cost-effectively than before and meaningful controlling and reporting.



The international eCl@ss standard offers good support here. How this works will be the subject of the "1st Würzburg eCl@ss Day". The congress is organized by eCl@ss e.V. and "MM MaschinenMarkt", Germany's leading industry magazine.



Renowned experts will speak about trends in electronic procurement, the value contribution of eCl@ss-classified master data for the company, the application of eCl@ss in various industries and new ways of process optimization through the use of eCl@ss in engineering.



Location: "1st Würzburg eCl@ss Day" at the Vogel Convention Center

Date: 29.9.2009, 10:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

Congress fee: 199,- Euro plus VAT (until 31.5. early bird price, thereafter 285,- Euro)

The program and registration form are also available at www.eClass-tag.de.



What is eCl@ss? eCl@ss is the leading classification system for grouping materials, products and services according to a logical scheme. Important components are detailed information, product-specific characteristics and standard-compliant features. Search terms and synonyms enable products and services to be found in a targeted manner. Characteristics lists with standardized characteristics and value tables enable an exact description and identification of products and services.



eCl@ss e.V. is a non-profit organization that defines, develops and disseminates the classification standard of the same name internationally across all industries.
