Lance,
I have been to 3 of the last 4 perspectives. I think they offer a very good
training on the topics they cover. Epicor also makes all of their Vantage
people from sales, marketing, programming, etc... available to you for any
questions, ideas, etc... so generally the people networking aspect of the
show is wonderful. I get as much from talking to others as I do from the
class room sessions. This year seams to be even more on track, the rates are
less than prior years, more focused on class room sessions, no formal golf
outings etc... Accounting, Materials and IS people should benefit from
attending. I would like to send three people but will probably be the only
one to go.

Hi -

Has anyone been to Perspectives before, and is it worth going to? I
would be attending with an IS point of view. Any comments would be
appreciated.

I know that attendance was low last year.
How many of you are planning on going this year that did not attend last
year?
How many went last year and are not going this year?

Patrick
I missed last year do to economic reasons, hope to make it this year.
I went last year, plan to go again this year.

Went last year and I plan to go again this year, business conditions
permitting. We will be on 5.2 by then and the justification for going will
be in getting answers to tons of questions. I am hoping turnout is a lot
better.

After going from the conference in Las Vegas, to what we felt was a pitiful
attempt at one in Palm Desert, CA.. Unless I hear everyone raving how
wonderful it was, I doubt I will attend another. If that made any sense.

I didn't attend last year, but hoping to be there this year. One problem for
me is to decide whether I should drive about 55 miles every day or stay at
the hotel.

I've attended every one since 1998 and still feel is it well worth it.
Especially for a new Vantage site or anyone new to Vantage. It is the best
education value there is. In many cases, in particular if you get bored by
the pace in classroom training, you can glean the best info from the regular
sessions. The labs are mini-classroom training at a much faster pace. Plus
you can grill the presenter afterward and also talk to other attendees. The
chance to do person-to-person a lot of the interaction found on this group
is very valuable. It really helps too to put a face to the names. You also
get the same chance to interact with the Epicor people and either get info
on the products or directly make requests. Plus, the third-party vendors
have some very interesting products that, at the least, need to be
considered and evaluated for effectiveness at your company, otherwise you
are overlooking potential to really enhance your use of Vantage.

On the down side, large group functions like this (with food services) are
only possible at larger hotels which have higher rates. But this year there
are a lot of alternatives nearby. Similarly airfare to LA area is a lot
lower than other locations (Palm Springs for example) so on the whole this
year could be relatively less expensive, making it a better value yet.

Last year at Orlando, post 9/11 and in economic down-turn, attendance was
way down and it really hurt the value of attending but it was still very
much worth it. I would have made some serious mis-steps on the way to 5.2
had I not attended. Early registration by lots of people will raise 3rd
party vendor interest and support for evening activities, which are another
chance to socialize and meet other users.

OK, I'll get off the 2 cent soap-box.
-Todd C.
