The CMIS User Group is fast approaching and we are very excited to meet all attending CMIS users.

These User Groups are vital, not only are they a means of discussing best practice but also a great method for networking amongst other CMIS users.

We very much welcome these events as they provide a platform to share new development ideas with those using the system. This approach will provide everyone with an opportunity to contribute to the overall strategic direction of the product.

Invitations have already been sent out but If you are a CMIS user and would like to attend please contact jsheils@astech.co.uk for further details.

We look forward to meeting you all.
