Software AG is holding a two-day session to provide insight to large organizations using technology for internal processes this week. The Innovation Tour runs Nov. 2-3 at the Marriott Marquis.

The event kicks off Thursday after coffee at 8:45 a.m. with Kevin Niblock, Software AG president and COO, who will discuss unleashing a digital vision. Other speakers include Geoff Colvin, senior editor-at-large at Fortune; Dr. Stephan Sigg, senior research and development officer at Software AG and Paul Roehrig, cofounder and chief strategy officer a Cognizant Digital Business. The topics of discussion focus on digital transformation, both in government and business. Here’s the full schedule.

Software AG provides digital analytics software to companies. The company was founded in 1969, is headquartered in Darmstadt, Germany, and works in more than 70 countries with 600 employees. Its clients include Citigroup, HSBC Bank, Airbus Operations and FedEx Office.

“This is the space where smart applications will live and this is the work that we are today focused on. The integration of existing IT landscapes and new smart applications which use endless data will therefore create endless new business opportunities,” Niblock told Forbes.

The conference is free to U.S. government employees, costs $325 for general admission and $450 for a Software AG partner.
