Observations from Protech Fusion Users Conference

Last week I had the opportunity to speak at the Protech 2010 Fusion Users Conference in Washington, DC. I also got to sit in on some other sessions and part of the opening session. One of the sessions I attended discussed many of the third-party information and products available for use with ...

Are you attending your users conference?

A recent notice for an AMS vendor's annual users conference reminded me of how supremely important user conferences are. I've written about users conferences that I've attended (see here) and why users groups are so important (see here and here and here). I feel so strongly about the value of ...

Aptify Users Conference 2009

I had the opportunity to attend part of Aptify's Users Conference this year, held last week in Washington, DC. I attended last year's event (which was Aptify's first second) in Chicago, and my primary criticism at that time was that the presentations were far too "vendor heavy" and didn't ...

Protech Users Conference 2009

I attended the Protech Users Conference last week in Washington DC. Here are some random thoughts on what I saw: Jeremy Epstein was the keynoter.

TAUG is TMA Resources Annual Users Group meeting. This year they met in Louisville, and it was, once again, a successful event. I've mentioned this users group meeting before, but what I wanted to highlight this year is how TMA Resources treats the consultants who work in the association ...

JL Systems’ Users Group Meeting

I spent the day at the Users Group meeting for JL Systems last week. JL is introducing a new product, called "New NOAH" (as far as I can tell). The system is fully browser-based (which is a change from their Access-based legacy system) and is based on the DotNetNuke development framework. This ...

Attending Protech’s First Customer Conference

Protech held their first annual users group conference last week in DC. I thought it was a pretty good effort, but I hate attending conferences at the Reagan Building. That building was designed to confuse me. At any rate, once I was able to find the conference and the meeting rooms, I was ...

Attending TAUG

I had the opportunity to attend TMA Resources Annual Users Group meeting (TAUG) last week in Albuquerque. They put on a very impressive event, including two sessions specifically focused on AMS consultants. TMAR is focused on their new AMS product dubbed Personify. The product looks very ...
