As a courtesy to the Pacific Northwest ECM Users Group, and to our members, we will be passing along meeting notifications for local Enterprise Content Management User Groups to our members. ODUG's scope is global in nature, and we encourage our members to participate in local ECM User Groups as well. If you are a member of a local ECM Group, and would like to promote your next meeting to our members, please don't hesitate to contact myself or one of the other ODUG Board Members.
Below is a message from Ian Story, President of the Pacific Northwest ECM User Group:
All,
I want to take a moment and make sure that everyone knows about the upcoming Pacific Northwest ECM UserNet Meeting, which is less than two weeks away on Wednesday, September 29, 2010 at 9am in Portland, Oregon!
There are a bunch of great reasons to come, but if you need help explaining why to your boss, here are my top 5 reasons:
1. When you register, you can input questions that you want answered, and we will be answering as many as possible during the roundtable sessions - this means that you can absolutely get input on topics that are pressing in YOUR organization, and meet others with similar interests, questions, etc.
2. As everyone knows, there are a number of products in the BPM space at IBM - this is one of the best chances you'll have to learn about ALL of them (not just FileNet!), how they work together, the strategy for them, etc. from the man that knows this better than anyone, David Yockelson, who is the program director for BPM at IBM.
3. SharePoint & MS Office are still hot topics (as is general integration into the desktop) this is our other main session, you'll learn about it, and also get to hear from others about what they are doing at their firms.
4. The meeting is at a customer site (Standard Insurance) and you'll get a chance to meet other customers, talk about how they do things, and learn from each other.
5. Aside from the time it takes away from the office, there is NO COST register for the meeting, lunch is even provided!

Best,
Ian
PS - Particularly to those in Oregon, I know we've talked in years past about how to do more down in Portland or in the south to make it easier for you to join, this is your chance, come on out for the sessions!
