Karlsruhe, November 30, 2006 - Why should a medium-sized mechanical or plant engineering company take on the often very long way, compared to CeBIT or SYSTEMS, to visit the in-house exhibition by the VDMA? It is quite plain - nowhere else a user, who is interested in an IT solutions for his industry, has the possibility to directly compare the range of service of the various systems on the market with each other. Already for the fifth time, ABAS and the abas software partners presented their solution for mechanical and plant engineering companies on the PPS in-house exhibition on November 14, 2006 in Flörsheim. The success was impressive: from the beginning of the event until the end, the abas stand was very well frequented, many conversations were conducted and top-class contacts were made.
