Just Back From The Summer Break: BICON 2025.1 And More
INOSIM Newsletter III/2025

Good day,

We hope you enjoyed the summer and are now well-rested as you enter the final stretch of the year. We have also made the most of the past few months and would like to inform you about some news today.
A focus was on the completion of BICON 2025.1, our proven Business Intelligence Connector for INOSIM Insight. The new version is optimally aligned with INOSIM Insight 2025.1, which was released in May following the INOSIM User Day in Dortmund. Approximately 40 users took advantage of the opportunity for professional exchange and networking there.
The dialogue of the “simulants” is also promoted by the Process Simulation Working Group, which meets regularly to exchange experiences. Read our report from the last meeting and be sure to attend the upcoming meeting yourself.
We also support the next generation in the simulation world: INOSIM Insight is already an integral part of the curriculum at several European universities. Learn more about the content of these lectures and how we support teachers with conception and licensing.
To conclude, again we have a practical tip & trick for you: learn how to import holiday dates into the INOSIM shift calendar in our current post.

We wish you a successful second half of the year!
Yours sincerely
Peter Balling
INOSIM CEO
