Say "Hello" to the Advantage Software Company's Users Group!
The Users Group has grown substantially since its formation in 1985. Every year hundreds of agency professionals gather at our annual conference for three days of idea sharing, intense workshops and professional networking. The annual conference and regular board meetings provide confirmation and direction on the dozens of enhancements that will result from the regular contact with the group.The Users Group is run by an elected Advisory Council (AAC) who plan and direct the annual conference and periodic AAC meetings. The AAC members work very closely with Advantage staff members to ensure that enhancements are designed and implemented to meet client requirements.
Users Group members have access to their own ”Discussion” board where they can track status of enhancements, request new enhancements or conduct a dialog with other Advantage users, Users Group AAC members, or Advantage staff members.
Register for the Conference if you are a member. It not a member, contact us for information on how to join. Join us in 2010 for the Annual Users Group Conference! May 23-26, 2010 at Portofino Bay Hotel in sunny Universal Orlando!
