Tonight we held our 2nd AUG Ohio gathering for Acumatica users in the Columbus, Ohio area.
Read on to get ideas for starting an Acumatica User Group in your area.
Acumatica User Groups are a great way to connect with Acumatica users locally, but anyone is welcome to travel to attend as well.
🚗 Mike Mahannah drove all the way up from Cincinnati. Maybe someone will fly in next time?
🥪 Thanks to Mark Skelly, Mike Mahannah, and Kaitlin Burt from Pacejet, a division of 3Gtms, LLC. for sponsoring the food. Nice touch allowing everyone to place their own individual Panera order ahead of time. The boxes even came labeled with each person’s name which made distribution super easy.
👏 We showed our gratitude to Pacejet, a division of 3Gtms, LLC. by holding their sign in the picture below.
🔊 I learned about a voice-activated WMS solution that works with Acumatica from Omar Lieves, MBA, CSM. It was Omar’s first time attending and it was my first time hearing of the WMS solution that he’s implementing. I’m hoping to have Omar on my Acumatica Podcast to talk about it after his implementation.
💡 Bronwyn Duprey had some good tips about making Acumatica product suggestions. There was even a suggestion that she created recently which others were interested in and now they can go vote for it.
💾 Mark Chamberlain asked if anyone had experience implementing in-house EDI with Acumatica. I think Bill Congrove is working on something similar at the moment so maybe they can connect. And maybe Ruslan Devyatko can come next time so Mark won’t be the only developer 😀
🆙 Jude Dille CPA is in the middle of an Acumatica Upgrade. It was interesting to hear the first step in his upgrade plan which I thought was pretty wise. Good luck Jude!
🆘 Aaron Wilcheck got some help with a Generic Inquiry that he was working on. We had to look at the SQL Trace to get to the finish line.
🧠 Cassie (Cassandra) Moore, MBA led the charge on the laptops coming out which was my number one goal for tonight so thanks Cassie! She was even brave enough to plug-in to the big monitor which led to a group discovery related to OData unexpectedly impacting an Import Scenario fed by a Business Event.
🌲 Cindy Brass talked about a field tech reporting solution that she’s implementing. She was also one of multiple people (including Todd Bunce) who mentioned something that they did with Velixo recently. Maybe they’ll be watching Gabriel Michaud and I on Excel Talk tomorrow.
🌎 Stephen Hennelly plugged into the big screen and gave us a tour of the Acumatica Community website which he monitors on a daily basis. We compared the built-in search with using a Google search confined to the site.
⏭ We’re planning to meet next in August, one month before the larger AUG gathering that Joel Gress is organizing in Atlanta, and Chris Hackett is helping to organize AUG gatherings in other cities.
