SSAGT Client Forum

Bob
I am Chairman of the BPCS User Group in the UK.
I didn't attend Boca Rotan but did attend Las Vegas last year.
Essentially I attended as a representative of our UK group to provide feedback 
to them. Our main interest then was the progress of SSAGT into a viable 
commercial organisation - an issue which would influence our investment 
decisions. As such I found the conference useful especially speaking with other 
users both from the BPCS community and also the newly acquired "Interbiz" 
product groups.
I think each individual has to decide what he wants from the conference eg 
commercial update, product update, product awareness, networking with other 
users etc etc. My view is that you get out of these events what you are 
prepared to put in.
I have been involved in organising our User Group Conference for many years and 
last year in the UK we combined with the other SSAGT User Groups to hold a 
combined event - which was very successful. But User Group events are a 
different format.
I am considering attending Orlando and trying to make contact with other BPCS 
User Groups in the U.S. or even further afield.
I believe that there are some groups reforming recently.  Will they be 
represented at the client forum? There may also be some Users who may want to 
join our group ( www.bpcsusergroup.com ) - does anyone have any views on this?
