We don't have a local user's group. These local groups are nice but they often
lack the power of a national group to engage with Infor management.

Also, you should check with your affiliate to see if you have a regional
MAPICS User Group. We have one (POWERMUG - PA, Ohio, WVa MAPICS User
Group) - been in existence since the mid-1990's. We meet quarterly.

I signed up @ the conference!!
Thanks Vanessa! I agree that it would be something of interest to the
board.
I know Dale & others have been gracious enough to share code and a
repository like Cistech's would reduce the burden of dealing with mass
requests!

Re: MAPICS 2005 User Conference
Hello Phil,
Cistech (an Infor affiliate) has just started a Cistech Mapics User
Community. Their plan is to have Education Sessions, Discussion Forums and
a
Software Swap Shop. Check it out and sign up at:
www.cistech.net
This sounds like it would be of interest to a lot of people in the
midrange.com user group.
Regards,
Vanessa King
