MESA seeks to educate public about IT in manufacturing

The Manufacturing Enterprise Solutions Association (MESA) International is working to expand its conversation with the public about the role and value of IT in manufacturing.

Over the next year, MESA will be taking several steps to help educate both members and non-members in all types and sizes of manufacturing enterprises:

• MESA will give public access to MESA International’s LinkedIn Group.
• MESA will host its Global Education Program (GEP) certificate programs in Portugal, Atlanta, Germany, United Kingdom, Chicago, Czech Republic and South Africa, and will be teaching several private programs for those who want to educate their customers or employees in-house.
• MESA will offer free, limited-time access to select key resources to those who sign up for MESA’s eNewsletters.

Mike Yost, president, MESA International said, “Technology buzzwords - like ‘Internet of Things’ and ‘big data’ today - are nothing new to the MESA community. We’ve been demystifying them in manufacturing since our inception over 20 years ago. But now, we are at a turning point because the technologies are increasingly powerful and accessible for all types and sizes of manufacturers. It’s MESA’s job to reach these professionals to help them make better, more sustainable decisions in their business.”
