Trimble is a Platinum Sponsor and invites you to attend the breakout session on Tuesday, August 2.  The presentation time will be 5PM and the title is called, "Trimble’s Dev Leaders Discuss What Is & What Is Not Working in Ag Software Today".

Bob Wold and Kevin Pattison, Trimble’s leaders for agricultural software development, will discuss their vision of the ag software world today, including pivotal successes, key challenges and future opportunities. Mobile apps, IoT, compliance issues, and the crowded slate of startups are all working together to push the industry to evolve. They also bring challenges, such as data capture, user experience and value creation. How can the many proprietary formats and point solutions survive and succeed? How can we save people time instead of burdening them with messy connectivity issues? Are data silos an advantage or an outdated approach? How many apps will users actively engage with?

Make sure you plan in advance by checking out the entire InfoAg agenda.
