Announcing the 2008 Inovis Educational Services Roadshow!

Robert Cannon — Tue, 11 Mar 2008 14:06:08 +0000

In fall of 2007, Inovis went to four different cities throughout the U.S. including Chicago, Seattle, Los Angeles, and Philadelphia for its first ever Educational Services Roadshow. We received a great response and turnout, and have decided to tour the country again for our 2008 Roadshow. This time we will be visiting three cities. We will begin in Dallas, Texas April twenty first through the twenty third, will then go to Boston, Massachusetts on July fourteenth through the sixteenth and will head out to California—this time to Newport Beach—December 15 through 17. Some of you may remember that we went to Philadelphia in December of last year and were snowed in. Not this time! Sunny Newport Beach will be the perfect ending to a great Roadshow.

What to expect: The format for the 2008 Roadshow is basically the same as it was last fall. We’ll have an opening session, and then will follow with a series of six breakout sessions. Sessions will be offered in the morning and afternoon of every day. The workshops will once again focus on the products that Inovis offers and will be workshop based. Some workshops will be an overview about products, while other breakouts will cover more advanced topics like BizManager using JavaScript and BizManager processing rules, for example. We have a great combination of both overview workshops as well as in-depth topic breakouts and will also be offering non-product specific workshops including EDI 101, EDI 201, and XML 101.

What’s new: We have included some additional topics that are exclusively for the 2008 Roadshow and are based around our new Actionable Intelligence solutions. These topics will give you an in-depth look at how customers can use data from their EDI processes to determine where their point of focus should be. In other words, this product is exception-based reporting.

There will be three different workshops based around this new product. One on best practices and Business Community Management, one on using Actionable Intelligence, and one on Supply Chain 101. More and more individuals are interested in learning more about how supply chains work, especially in a global economy, and that is why we have added on Supply Chain 101 to the Roadshow offerings.

We are proud to offer something for everybody. This show is very broad based; even more so than last year. Registration information went out on March 11 and is also available here. We will probably be limiting the shows to about fifty or sixty customers per city, so we’d like to encourage everyone to register early. We look forward to seeing you in the near future!

Inovis is Hittin' the Road!
