Synergy 06 is Declared a Major Success!

Second Intuitive ERP worldwide user conference attendance soars by 71 percent

Kirkland, Washington – May 26, 2006 – Intuitive Manufacturing Systems, a leading provider of enterprise resource planning (ERP) software for discrete manufacturers, is very happy to report the results of Synergy 06, the second Intuitive ERP customer conference. Over 250 people convened in San Diego, California for the May 1st-5th event, which represents huge attendance growth over the 2004 inaugural conference. The attendees represented over 100 companies from as far away as Australia and Turkey.

“Synergy 06 was an outstanding conference,” said Intuitive Vice President of Sales, Ed Doris. “This interaction with our customers was a great opportunity to learn from each other and share ideas.”

The success of the conference was validated by the results of the written conference evaluations where 95 percent of attendees responded that the overall value of the conference “exceeded expectations” or was “outstanding.”

“Great information here,” said Sandra Ross, Materials Manager for Bigfoot Industries. “Even reviews of older functionality were a great reminder of functionality we should be using.”

The conference kicked off with a general session presentation by Intuitive CEO Chuck Gillam, where he communicated the company’s roadmap for the future, giving the Intuitive user and partner community a better understanding of who Intuitive is t

day, as well as the direction the company and the Intuitive ERP product are headed.
From there, attendees divided their time between six simultaneous tracks with more than 60 sessions presented over the next four days. Attendee’s highlights include:

Ask the Experts –Intuitive’s consulting staff and field product engineers manned the “Ask the Experts” area, where attendees could come at any time throughout the conference with questions or issues and work one-on-one with an expert to get them resolved.
“Day in the Life” series – A new track to Synergy this year, it focused on how to better use the tools that exist in Intuitive ERP to do the daily job of a buyer, planner, scheduler, or in order entry.
.NET modification training – For the developers, this was a popular track, where attendees could learn how to use the development tools Intuitive has created leveraging .NET technology to do their own custom modification projects.
“What’s New in 8.0” series – This series of sessions explored the new features and enhancements of version 8.0 including ECO, AML, MPS, CTP range planning, and more to give attendees the opportunity to learn about new Intuitive ERP functionality that will be released to them later this year.

At the closing ceremony, the locale for the Synergy 07 event was announced. We will be visiting Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida on May 14-18, 2007.
