When researching ERP systems, one of the reasons I voted for Vantage was
this user's group. Our CAM did not tell us about it. Instead, I did a
search on the Internet for Vantage and found this group by accident. It
was key to me to have a support group other than tech support. We all
know that tech support in any company can be challenging because they
either have not used, do not use now and don't intend to use their own
software in a real world environment. Most tech support depts. are
comprised of people who have been "trained" but only minimally. So, this
group was important to me. When I saw how many posts there were and how
many members, it was just another plus in the decision tree. None of the
other 13 companies we looked at had such a user's group.
I agree with you Aaron that we definitely need to find a way to work
with Jeff and the EUG but it will take some work and a commitment by
some of our members. If I were the EUG I would not want to spend my time
sorting through every single one of our emails - I suggest that monthly
we give Jeff a list of major concerns presented by our group. I heard
him when he said he looks at these emails once a month or so. He cannot
possibly have enough time to read every one.
I'm just throwing an idea out there. I'd like to know what everyone else
thinks.
Ditto on the AWOL and infamous Shirley. Would have loved to meet her.
Maybe next year.
And by the way, Epicor's tech support dept. is one of the best - at
least you don't have to wait on hold for 45 minutes to get a real
person. They are doing a great job - although they could do better no
doubt. But, overall and especially when compared to other companies, I
have been pleasantly surprised.

Just a few notes about that meeting.
In case anyone was interested. I would estimate between 30 and 50 in
the
room (it will have to be a bigger room next time) and of those there,
nearly
half were not currently members of this group, but were interested in
joining now that they know it exists. Several expressed frustrations
with
their CAMs (pay attention if any of you CAMs are monitoring) for not
letting
them know about this resource.
There was also an interesting discussion of the EUG. I am not
advertising,
condoning or even a member of the EUG, but I would like to spend some
time
working on a way to give this group representation with Epicor. We are
a
separate entity, but I believe it's in the best interest of this group
and
Epicor to get input for enhancement requests from this group, not just
the
official members of EUG.
Either way, it was great to get to meet a few of the members of this
list in
person and put some faces with some names. Shirley will be interested
to
note that you were specifically noted as being missing at the event.
Also worth noting was that there were at least some members of this list
that did not make the meeting even though they were there at
Perspectives.
The meeting did make the event schedule, but was not publicized beyond
the
booklet that I was aware of. Maybe advertisement is something we could
work
on for next year (Jeff?). I hope by next year Epicor can see this group
as
the asset it is to it's Vantage customers and advertise it a bit.
Thanks,
Aaron Hoyt

Believe it or not we actually have a room scored at Perspectives:
We are on at Palermo Room at 5:30 PM tonight. Caesars Palace is OK if
you
don't mind $4 dollar water and no in-room coffee. (Grrr)

Cool, but then we've got 45 on the bounce list. Anybody that's still
bouncing after I try to restart their account I've been clearing out.
I'll
hold off till after Perspectives to go in again. Maybe somebody will
rub
1200 in EUG's nose.
