Piyush Singh Chairman SYNON User Group of the Americas User Group of the Americas : Striking the Right Balance
The Story this year • The most active Board year since inception. • Pro-active in reviewing the role and responsibilities of the Advisory Board. • A preview of the new Synon culture.
Moore’s law or Murphy’s • Balance is a state of equilibrium • enhancing the quality and content of the Synon’s International User Conference • working with Synon towards finding new and improved ways to enhance the customer support and service levels
Scorecard : Conference • A conference with “you” in mind • balance between Synon/2E and OBSYDIAN community • balance between user and consultant community presentations • balance between educational sessions and leading edge technologies • inclusion of “vendor track” • availability of “one-on-one” sessions with Synon and Business Partner executives • balance between “work” and “fun”.
Scorecard : Synon Customer Support • Established mechansim to provide Synon with formal feedback • Synon is re-engineering its sales and service operations for the new business environment. • Availability of a new corporate repository of information
Rules regarding intellectual capital • Solicitation for recruitment anytime during the conference is a violation of the conference by-laws • Non-sanctioned marketing (hospitality suites, outings, dinners etc.) are not condoned. • If you are subjected to a violation please report to the Advisory Board members.
Top 2 reasons why you would want to be on the Advisory Board • No. 2 : You get to sit on the Advisory Board booth and help the attendees find the feedback booths • No. 1 : You get to attend the meetings with the Synon folks in the true Synon spirit
The Advisory Board • Ed Gafron • Virgil Green, Secretary and Treasurer • Joe Kaczmarek • Wesley McPeters • Brad Merkel • Tom Murphy • Gerry Soke, Vice Chairman • Beverly Yext
