Porini future vision: Experience reinvented

 

ico-engPorini Vision Keynote and Golden Celebrations
Como  2018, March 22-23

The year was 1968… The Beatles published “Ehy Jude”, “Once Upon A Time In The West” and “2001: A Space Odyssey” were released in cinemas, Nino Benvenuti defeated Emile Griffith and returned to be the  Middleweight World boxing Champions, Richard Nixon was elected 37th President of the United States, Warsaw Pact invaded Czechoslovakia to halt the Prague Spring, Martin Luther King was assassinated in Memphis, Italy won the European Football Championship…
And just 1968 in Como, Ezechiele Porini founded Porini, a company connected to the area and for this reason specialized in ERP solutions and specific consultancy for companies in the fashion, clothing and textile sector.

Since that far 1968 many things have changed…. but Porini is always in business!

Since then we had gained a lot of of experience, expanded our expertise becoming a Microsoft ISV and a primary System Integrator, we had grown to become a relevant international reality, diversifying  our portfolio with a wide range of solutions: Social CRM, Business Analytics, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, IoT, Performance Management, Collaboration and Knowledge Management targeted to medium and large companies in many industry sectors.

And from the 7 employees of 1968, the team now consists of more than 100 professionals, located in 4 offices in Europe (3 in Italy and 1 in Portugal), 1 in the U. S. A. and 1 in India, with hundreds of projects realized, customers in 5 continents and an installed base of more than 20,000 users on our applications.

In the year of our 50th anniversary we organized in the wonderful venue of the Palace Hotel in Como a great two-day event to celebrate with customers, partners, friends and all our staff this important achievement and to look together at the new challenges in the coming years.

During the Vision Keynote on March 22nd we retraced Porini’s history and outlined the future view of the scenarios we want to face, bringing value to our current and future customers in the field of ERP, CRM, Business Intelligence and IoT. Microsoft, our strategic partner described the trends for the market in the upcoming years; an interesting starting point to understand the road that companies have yet to take along the journey of Digital Transformation.

March 23rd was instead dedicated to the periodic appointments of Customer Lab and Partner Meeting.

These two workshops has been an opportunity to show to customers and partners the new Porini 365 suite: reviewing the latest news on Porini 365 ERP, the ERP dedicated to fashion and textile which is historically our main industry, but also introducing solutions for Collaboration, CRM and Analytics products cross industries tailored.

This year, more than ever, stimulating and constructive discussions with Microsoft, customers and partners have been the key to looking back at our past, taking stock of the present and together outlining the future path to support companies in their digital evolution journey day after day.

 

Thank you all for participating and… be with us for the next 50 years!

Porini Vision Keynote e Golden Celebrations
Como 22 e 23 marzo, 2018

Correva l’anno 1968… i Beatles pubblicavano “Ehy Jude”, nelle sale cinematografiche uscivano “C’era una volta il West” e “2001: Odissea nello spazio”, Nino Benvenuti batteva Emile Griffith e tornava ad essere campione mondiale dei pesi medi di pugilato, Nixon veniva eletto 37° presidente degli USA, le truppe del Patto di Varsavia invadevano la Cecoslovacchia in risposta alla Primavera di Praga, Martin Luther Kingveniva assassinato a Memphis, l’Italia vinceva i Campionati Europei di calcio… E proprio nel 1968 a Como, Ezechiele Porini fondava l’omonima azienda, una società legata al territorio e per questo specializzata in soluzioni ERP e consulenza specifici per le imprese del settore moda, abbigliamento e tessile.

Da quel lontano 1968 molte cose sono cambiate… ma Porini è sempre in attività!

Abbiamo maturato negli anni una grande esperienza, ampliato le nostre competenze diventando un ISV Microsoft ed un System Integrator di primaria importanza, e siamo cresciuti fino a diventare una importante realtà internazionale, includendo nel nostro portfolio soluzioni di Social CRM, Business Analytics, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, IoT, Performance Management, Collaboration e Knowledge Management per società di medie e grandi dimensioni di molti settori industriali.

E dai 7 dipendenti del 1968, il team è composto oggi di oltre 100 professionisti, dislocati in 4 sedi in Europa (tre in Italia e una in Portogallo), una in U.S.A. e una in India, con centinaia di progetti realizzati, clienti in 5 continenti e una base installata di oltre 20.000 utenti sulle nostre applicazioni.

Nell’anno del nostro 50° anniversario abbiamo organizzato nella splendida cornice del Palace Hotel di Como un grande evento celebrativo di due giorni per festeggiare con clienti, partner, amici e tutto il nostro staff il traguardo raggiunto e guardare insieme alle sfide che ci aspettano nei prossimi anni.

Durante il Vision Keynote del 22 marzo abbiamo ripercorso la storia di Porini e delineato gli scenari futuri e le nuove sfide con cui vogliamo misurarci per portare valore ai nostri clienti attuali e futuri nel campo dell’ERP, del CRM, della Business Intelligence e dell’IoT. Il nostro partner strategico Microsoft ha raccontato le tendenze per il mercato nei prossimi anni; un punto di partenza interessante per capire la strada che le aziende devono ancora compiere lungo il percorso della Digital Transformation.

La giornata del 23 marzo è stata invece dedicata ai consueti appuntamenti del Customer Lab e del Partner Meeting.

I due appuntamenti sono stati l’occasione per presentare ai clienti e ai partner la nuova suite Porini 365: le ultime novità dell’ERP dedicato al fashion and textile, storicamente il nostro settore di riferimento, ma anche prodotti di Collaboration, CRM e Analytics utili per tutti i settori industriali.

Il confronto stimolante e costruttivo con Microsoft, clienti e partner è stato quest’anno più che mai la chiave per guardare al nostro passato, fare il punto sul presente e delineare insieme il cammino futuro, per affiancare giorno dopo giorno le imprese nell’evoluzione del proprio business.

Grazie a tutti per aver partecipato e… be with us for the next 50 years!
