Dear colleagues and friends,

Isicad-2006, the Second isicad Forum "PLM+ERP: Information Environment of Modern Enterprise" was held on 31 May - 2 June in Novosibirsk, Russia.

While preparing and holding the forum, we made accent on

• maximum attracting (Siberian) industries,
• extending the forum scope from PLM to ERP.

The forum attendees represented about 135 organizations, 85 of them belong to users/customers, 40 - to solution providers, the others - to education, analytical agencies, mass-media, etc. More than 300 persons attended the forum, among them at least 200 users and about 80 - from solution providers.

At the forum, there were presented 43 talks: 19 of them belong to PLM/CAD/CAM/CAE/PDM, 14 - to ERP, while 10 talks were somehow discussing both areas. Top managers of some leading Russian companies took part in the round-table "Problems and ways of installation and integration of PLM and ERP solutions in Russia". 12 companies demonstrated their solutions at the isicad-2006 exhibition.

Judging by rather actively filled questionnaires, many forum attendees noted that they

• estimate isicad-2006 as considerably progressed compared with isicad-2004 that was also had been ranked as a successful event,
• believe that the forum talks and exhibition were interesting and useful,
• consider isicad forums as regular events and would like to attend isicad-2008.

The isicad-2006 organizing committee did not stop its activity aiming to:

• publish (at web and as CDs) a set of the forum presentations,
• compose and distribute a set of videos: presentations, chronicle, and a compact film about the forum,
• issue an illustrated paper edition of "The isicad-2006 Report".

Now you can see a first portion of a photo gallery, which will be step by step enlarged. Thank you for sending to us your own pictures (to artem@ledas.com).
