Hello,



Looking at the on-line registration and noticing that many Vantage
specific sessions are already full what is the likely hood of getting
into a full session? Do they control attendance? With so few Vantage
sessions being offered and most of the sessions I would be interested
already full makes me wonder if I should take my chances?

Having been to perspectives many times in the past, I strongly recommend
perspectives, especially in a case like yours where you are planning to
upgrade to 8 within the year. Try to get into as many labs as you can -
NOW (they fill up fast) - and the 4-hour Sunday sessions they held last
year were GREAT (the one I took was great anyway). If you take as many
labs as you can and take one of the Sunday sessions, that alone will pay
for the cost of the trip. Not to mention the networking, info from
other users and all the other sessions where you can pick up information
or tidbits or even air your grievances / software issues to people that
can actually do something about it. With all the session they have,
chances are they will cover most of the things you are concerned about,
and if not, stop by the hall of solutions and ask questions. They will
try to get you an answer if they don't know.

I know there has been a lot of talk on Perspectives in the past, but I
need to know if it fits my needs and budget. We are on Vantage 6.0
now, going to 6.1 by the end of the year, and looking at going to 8.0
next year. I need all the information I can get on 8.0, using Crystal
Reports with Vantage 8.0, building dashboards, etc., etc. Would I be
better off spending money on training at Epicor (if any) or would
Perspectives combine enough training about converting to 8.0 with the
benefit of getting ideas from the various people. I know this is late,
but I need to know so I can book the trip if needed. Any suggestions
would be appreciated.

It is controlled. You check into each session with your Epicor ID
you get when checking in. They do taking waiting lists for no shows at
classes. You can monitor any class by standing or sometimes sitting in
the back of the room.

The regular Vantage Crystal class is worth the money. It's two and half
days of intense but personal training. The time I took it it was a total
of two students. Can't get more private that that. You can learn lots at
Perspectives and by talking to everyone there but if you don't have
reservations for classes already it's probably to late to get in on very
much. You need to jump in when the first announce back in July to get
the pick of the classes.

For the lab sessions, attendance is strictly controlled to get a
computer (hands on). Only those who have signed up in advance can get
on one, and they always are full early. But, they do have limited
seating in the back of the room so you can still watch the sessions even
if you do not have a computer and, in my opinion, if you get a handout
and take notes, it is still valuable.

You have to register for any sessions listed as a lab, if you are not
registered you can still attend if there is room, but there is very
limited seating in the back of the room to watch. They used to do wait
lists, not sure if they still do that.

One other thought on labs.....by Wednesday, especially afternoon when everyone is burned out and headed for the airport, getting in and onto a computer via the waitlist or even "at the door" is a lot easier. Many people who had signed up "skip class". So if you can get to one and get on the list early chances are pretty good to share a PC. This also works somewhat for Wednesday morning first session labs....after the Tuesday night "event". Except you have to behave the night before. ;)

Attendance in Labs is controlled and must be registered for in
advance. You can be put on a waiting list in case of no-shows or
watch from the back of the room if there isn't an open computer.

Attendence in non-lab sessions is not controlled and seating is first
come first served.

Just a question....

I am in Accounting and know very little about computes ... would it be
useful to go to perspectives?

I know that mostly IT people go but my supervisor wants to send me as
well and I wanted to know what people thought ... if it would be
worthwhile for a computer idiot to attend.



Please and Thanks

Stephanie

While much of the schedule is aimed at system administators and the technical side...especially for future planning purposes...there has always been a large number of accounting related sessions. My understanding is that somewhere down the road (9.0?) the G/L module and related accounting functions in Vantage will be "moved" to a different technology based on a product line acquired by Epicor (can't recall the name) and that this will be the "standard" accounting functionality across all (or most of) their product lines. Having insight in to this change that is coming my be very useful. We are too far away from migrating but there is a significant chance that next year our CFO will need to attend.

The entire schedule is on the Perspectives web site. I've found it useful in the past to print this and highlight all sessions that look like they fit my info needs. The amount of "color" on the pages is a good indication of the sessions value then add the value of interacting with other accounting people and the payback could be significant. Besides, if a little technical stuff rubs off on you it can only help in understanding Vantage as a whole and using it more effectively.

tables. But that is the extent to my knowledge. I guess I will do that

One of the other advantages is that the financial people need to see the
production side of things as well. It's not advised that financial
people just think of the accounting modules without considering the
production side of things. After all, without production, there is no
accounting in manufacturing.



As for the accounting, either enhanced Vantage or the iScala package
would be used. The big thing will be more information about 9.0 and
8.03.400.



For the newbies to the V8 series, get into things like navigation,
personalization and dashboards. The dashboard is the most important
feature of the manufacturing system because of the flexibility of the
dashboard. Experience in this area will give you a step up on your
education.



Todd, you are always so eloquent. :)

stephanie- I highly recommend that you attend perspectives and understand how the production modules especially job and inventory management works since this has the single most impact on accounting. This has helped us reconcile transactions at month-end faster. You can also help drive processes at your production floor if you know whats going on.
Thx

I understand how Vantage works and how well it is intergraded. The only
part of Vantage that I keep my nose out of is the Engineering workbench.
I don't like to mess with their authorization checks and all that jazz.
I meant the computer lingo. Nuts and bolts type stuff. I know how to
run the applications I just don't know a thing about installing those
programs. I just wondered how much of Perspectives is on Accounting
itself and how Vantage 8 works and improves (hopefully) for the
accounting departments.

I may not be really clear what you might be looking for at Perspectives possibly. There aren't as many accounting workshops per se and I personally find getting the big-picture view always helps me drill into accounting month-end reconciliation issues that crop up from time to time.

If you just received the latest Epicor email newsletter click on the Vantage link and then on the Perspectives item. At the bottom are links to "role specific" lists of sessions and there is one for the Financial sessions that may be very useful.

Just a question....

I am in Accounting and know very little about computes ... would it be
useful to go to perspectives?

I know that mostly IT people go but my supervisor wants to send me as
well and I wanted to know what people thought ... if it would be
worthwhile for a computer idiot to attend.

Please and Thanks

Stephanie

Todd, could you forward that email to me. I did not receive it and am
interested in the "role specific" sessions.
Thanks!

If you just received the latest Epicor email newsletter click on the
Vantage link and then on the Perspectives item. At the bottom are links
to "role specific" lists of sessions and there is one for the Financial
sessions that may be very useful.

I understand how Vantage works and how well it is intergraded. The only
part of Vantage that I keep my nose out of is the Engineering workbench.
I don't like to mess with their authorization checks and all that jazz.
I meant the computer lingo. Nuts and bolts type stuff. I know how to
run the applications I just don't know a thing about installing those
programs. I just wondered how much of Perspectives is on Accounting
itself and how Vantage 8 works and improves (hopefully) for the
accounting departments.

stephanie- I highly recommend that you attend perspectives and
understand how the production modules especially job and inventory
management works since this has the single most impact on accounting.
This has helped us reconcile transactions at month-end faster. You can
also help drive processes at your production floor if you know whats
going on.
Thx
RSN

True. I do use access to pull the information I need from Vantage
tables. But that is the extent to my knowledge. I guess I will do that
and see where I end up.

Thanks!

Stephanie

While much of the schedule is aimed at system administators and the
technical side...especially for future planning purposes...there has
always been a large number of accounting related sessions. My
understanding is that somewhere down the road (9.0?) the G/L module and
related accounting functions in Vantage will be "moved" to a different
technology based on a product line acquired by Epicor (can't recall the
name) and that this will be the "standard" accounting functionality
across all (or most of) their product lines. Having insight in to this
change that is coming my be very useful. We are too far away from
migrating but there is a significant chance that next year our CFO will
need to attend.

The entire schedule is on the Perspectives web site. I've found it
useful in the past to print this and highlight all sessions that look
like they fit my info needs. The amount of "color" on the pages is a
good indication of the sessions value then add the value of interacting
with other accounting people and the payback could be significant.
Besides, if a little technical stuff rubs off on you it can only help in
understanding Vantage as a whole and using it more effectively.

I guess I will see because I am now going to attend. Hopefully I pick
sessions that will be a benefit to me and my responsibilities. Thanks
for your ideas.

I may not be really clear what you might be looking for at Perspectives
possibly. There aren't as many accounting workshops per se and I
personally find getting the big-picture view always helps me drill into
accounting month-end reconciliation issues that crop up from time to
time.

I hope I don't affend anyone with this posting, but I was just curious
as to the normal dress code at Perspectives. Since it is at Disney
World, are shorts OK to wear?
