Call For Papers

The annual seminar serves to provide our PI System users an opportunity to increase familiarization with the PI System, thereby extracting the most benefits to add value to their organizations. We encourage you to share your PI System success story with other users by joining us as our speaker.

Should your presentation be selected, we will be delighted to waive off your registration fee. OSIsoft has specific standards to ensure that each presentation is interesting and valuable to all participants. Your chances of acceptance improve when you meet the following requirements:
  • END-USER FOCUS: Presentation must describe the experience of a PI System user/s and involve their direct participation in presenting (support by a third party such as a system integrator is allowed but lack of end user participation may disqualify a presentation).
  • PI SYSTEM-SPECIFIC BENEFITS: Financial or other benefit from the PI System must be clearly specified. Plug-ins or ancillary products do not meet this qualification. One popular approach is to show how you used data from the PI System for condition-based maintenance, making it possible to prevent costly downtime or dangerous events.
  • FOCUS: Subject and scope need to be clearly defined in your proposal. This year's user sessions will last only 30 minutes including question and answer, so they must be highly focused and get right to the point.
Types of presentations particularly valued are:
  • BUSINESS ADVANTAGE: Share ways the PI System has allowed you to increase market share and position your company for exponential growth.
  • VALUE ORIENTED: Explanations of how you use the PI System to run your operation or manufacturing most effectively. Focus on precise benefits, such as how much money you made or saved. Have you been able to save your own customers money, provide them with better quality products or more timely service?
  • STRATEGIC STRENGTH: Talk about how your company used the PI System to adapt and modify your long term business strategy. Has this approach transformed your industry or met a unique challenge caused by changing business conditions?
  • UNIQUE APPLICATION: New and unique uses of the PI System always interest other PI System users.
