The 2002 Global User Group Conference proved quite informative. In addition to learning more about the UNISON System and our third party software partners, this conference provided users with an opportunity to meet and network with other attendees in addition to spending time with knowledgeable Global Turnkey Systems staff members.
Plenty of valuable information was disseminated over the 2 day session. The participation of clients, key third party vendors and Global personnel made the 2002 User Group Conference quite a successful event.
Some highlights…
