NOVIForum Manufacturier 2026: AI, ERP and Automation in the Service of Productivity

News - Intro image

The manufacturing sector is going through a period of accelerated transformation. Artificial intelligence, automation, cybersecurity, data integration: the technologies redefining operations are arriving fast, and manufacturers must navigate an increasingly complex environment.

It is in this context that CVDM is pleased to highlight the NOVIForum Manufacturier, organized by NOVIPRO on May 28 at Espace Waverly in Montreal. A free event bringing together IT experts, manufacturing leaders and technology partners for discussions grounded in real-world challenges.

NOVIPRO is a recognized player in the digital transformation of Canadian manufacturing organizations. Specializing in IT solutions, cybersecurity, cloud infrastructure and automation, the company has particular expertise in manufacturing ERP integration with Infor CSI, a tool that optimizes operations, improves data visibility and automates critical processes.

The day's program covers topics directly relevant to manufacturing SME leaders: IT trends in the sector, transformation with Infor CSI and AI, an IBM conference on the evolution of generative AI toward intelligent agents capable of concrete actions, and a panel on industrial automation, robotics and productivity.

Networking spaces are woven throughout the day for exchanges with partners including Infor, Fortinet, Hubkor, Axya and CDMV.

CVDM will be on site to connect with participants about our services and how our network can complement your company's digital transformation journey.
