Findings from Mincom`s Global Mining Survey
SANTIAGO, Chile--(Business Wire)--
An executive from Mincom, a leading global provider of software and services for
asset-intensive industries, will present "Unlocking More Value from the Mining
Enterprise" at the Ninth World Copper Conference on April 7th in Santiago,
Chile. Jennifer Tejada, Mincom`s chief strategy officer and executive vice
president, will share a top-down approach to identifying and realizing increased
value within the mining value chain, identifying common barriers to success and
how to overcome them. She will also reveal initial results from Mincom`s latest
research, which surveyed top executives from leading mining organizations to
better understand their key challenges and priorities. 

Currently, companies within the mining industry are confronted with the
significant challenge of bridging operational and IT silos across their
organizations. In her presentation, Tejada will seek to open a dialogue in the
mining community with the aim of eliminating constraints in process optimization
- ensuring operational processes support growth versus creating a barrier to
value creation. 

According to Gary Poole, Mincom president in Latin America, "There is a need
throughout the international mining community to access information systems
operating across functional divisions in order to overcome critical hurdles,
such as implementing key performance indicators that will provide support for
end-to-end business process optimization throughout the value chain. Mincom has
30 years` of experience in helping the global mining community bridge these gaps
with its integrated solutions, and has many best practices to share." 

The Ninth World Copper Conference will be held April 6th through 8th at the
Grand Hyatt Hotel in Santiago, Chile. Considered the world`s definitive copper
conference, the event will gather more than 400 global mining leaders associated
with public and private copper exploration, extraction, production and
commercialization businesses. For more information, please visit
