A Big THANK YOU to those who Attended Yesterday’s IBM® Engineering Lifecycle Management (ELM) Future Forward User Group Event in Warwick!

 

As we reflect on yesterday’s IBM® ELM Future Forward User Day, we would like to extend our thanks to esteemed members of the user community for attending and supporting the day!  We hope attendees enjoyed the event as much as we did.  

Without a doubt, it’s the attendance and contributions from those using the tools which really make for successful user events, and we have been enthused to hear the positive feedback from the day.

We’d like to take the opportunity to thank the team at Telent Technology Services who, as well as offering the Telent facility as a home for event, dedicated much time from their busy schedules to assist in the planning of the day.

In a similar vein, we’d like to thank members of the IBM® team who worked with us to plan the day and delivered invaluable content on the roadmap and future of IBM® ELM products.

The highlights of the day, for us, were the Telent site and lab tour which amplified the complexity of engineering the ELM tools are facilitating.  We also found the Rhapsody® session especially insightful and know that this is a technical area of expansion for many of our customers.

We will be contacting attendees directly over the coming days to share event resources.

We would like to work to make this a regular feature of our annual calendar but would like for future events to be molded by the user community.  If you attended the Future Forward Day yesterday, we would very much like to hear from you and would appreciate you taking a few moments to complete this short survey: https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=d6pwDlrEzEq5-o0snSEY3MUCagdi3GJAh5OEL6xJ3p9UNTQwRzRKMUNDV0FWMkVFRFo2UVNaSkFMMC4u

For ELM users who were unable to attend yesterday but would like the opportunity to express your interest in future events and share any preferences or ideas, please contact the team via cet@synthesys.co.uk to start the conversation.
