The TMA User Group Conference (TAUG) held in New Mexico, and the inaugural
Protech Customer Conference held here in DC. DelCor is active in a number of AMS
user groups, including iMIS (NiUG) and Avectra (AUG). We have recently sought
membership in the gomembers group (NAUG) and understand that Euclid is also in
the process of forming a user group as well.
Generally, participation in such groups/list serves/conferences can yield
immense rewards insofar as they allow not only the opportunity to network and
jointly trouble-shoot problems, but also provide an opportunity to build lasting
friendships and a secondary support network among fellow users of a system. User
groups and conferences also offer users the chance to give meaningful feedback
to the vendors, and even influence the course of future product development to
better reflect client needs. Does your AMS vendor have a user group, and do you
(or someone in your organization) participate in it? DelCor strongly suggests
that you find out - you have nothing to lose and much to gain by doing so.
