Hear from previous attendees

The quick business wins was great although we ran out of time unfortunately. It was nice to have very simple and fast fixes that could be implemented straight away.

Well put together and all streams were linked together to follow processes on SYSPRO

Good to catch up with K3 staff I do not see very often. More time to talk to other delegates can help to seed ideas and share experiences.

The presentation on where SYSPRO is heading was first class. It is so valuable to see the future from the key people in Syspro South Africa – thank you

A unique opportunity to open your eyes on how to get more out of SYSPRO and hear about future developments from the software authors

Interesting, informative event to keep customers up to date with new concepts and an opportunity to engage with both SYSPRO personnel and other Companies using SYSPRO

The morning presentation from the South African office was absolutely amazing! I couldn’t fault their presentation skills and it really got me excited about the future and what we can expect over the next few years.

This is a must attend event, and the only place where it is possible to meet with such a diverse group of K3 staff at the same time as networking with fellow SYSPRO users

it was very interesting to learn about the future of SYSPRO and I really enjoyed listening to a user and getting his perspective on how the system has helped improve his business

We really found the event useful – it was great engaging with customers and found the BPW story particularly compelling and useful, it was a fantastic presentation. Clearly the relationship you build with your clients post-implementation is very impressive.

We really enjoyed the day, the event itself was really well run. We got chance to see other presentations and got to speak to consultants, getting a sense of what the next part of the journey was – it was very enthusiastically demonstrated to them that this was a business that was looking forward not backwards and wasn’t resting on its laurels.

It was clear that you have a good team and are real people not just sat in their office who have a real understanding of the World they work in and what’s actually happening and they’re best placed to offer solutions to existing and future customer base.
