Taking place at the beginning of each year, “Wincor World” has established itself as an event of international repute. It provides a platform for experts from the banking and retail sectors to find out about the latest solutions for optimizing business processes. At the same time, they can take advantage of the chance to meet with their industry counterparts. Its mixture of exhibition space and accompanying presentations and symposia makes “Wincor World” a highly informative and attractive event. On the one hand, visitors are given a broad overview of the latest solutions and IT services, on the other hand, they are able to learn from the practical experience of others. Customers can discuss the use and integration of IT solutions in their business processes with other customers, with company experts and with independent consultants. Around 60% of the 7,000 visitors to Wincor World 2006 came from outside Germany, while 70 well-known companies participated as partners.
