Event features latest technologies, best practices and research from IBM and Vision. 

Vision Solutions announced it will host a milestone meeting in Russia in conjunction with AIX User Group Russia and Vision Solutions User Group Russia organizations. The May 27 event will feature a special customer appreciation and networking session along with keynote presentations from IBM and Vision Solutions.

"Having only recently joined our team in this key growth market, I am delighted and excited about the prospect of meeting so many key influencers and loyal IBM customers at one independent gathering,” says Todd Morris, keynote speaker and IBM’s director of Power Systems for Central and Eastern Europe Middle East and Africa.

This exclusive event will also feature a special presentation from Alfa-Bank on its 10-year anniversary as a Vision Solutions customer. The recipient of numerous information technology awards and a founding member of the Vision User Group in Russia, Alfa-Bank continues to pioneer the use of technology in their business activities. “We are very happy with the longstanding partnership between Alfa-Bank and Vision Solutions. Extensive use of technology allowed us to gain competitive advantage and satisfy our customers’ needs. We look forward to future beneficial cooperation and sharing our best practices with this select group,” said Andrey Sokolov, deputy CIO of Alfa-Bank.

“We value the relationship and leadership Alfa Bank continues to demonstrate year after year,” adds Mike Khattab, vice president of sales for Vision Solutions CIS, Eastern Europe, Middle East and Africa. “This is a true success story with entrepreneurial thinking keeping Alfa Bank ahead of the curve.”

The May 27 event offers a specialist forum for IBM i and AIX professionals seeking to enhance their skills regarding the latest developments and best practices. Vision Solutions’ exclusive Information Availability Institute research indicates approximately half of the surveyed respondents intend to upgrade to IBM’s Power Systems platform (lack of time is one of the concerns cited by those not currently upgrading). The event will feature Vision’s PowerPack for POWER7 Migration that is designed to eliminate these hurdles, enabling customers to migrate to POWER7 with minimal downtime.

Following the event will be a reception for all delegates where they will have a great opportunity to network with peers and speakers regarding the enlightening conference sessions. To register for the event, visit www.visionsolutions.com/eventRussia (Russian language skills required).
