Carolina Chapter Wrap Up
The first live meeting for the Carolina Chapter of the CWG was a big success. Fourteen people representing six companies gathered at Baldor Electric’s Greenville SC office for lunch and a chance to exchange ideas and questions.
Chuck Howard gave us some insight into Albany International’s robust use of VC to support their business of selling complex products to the paper industry. Chuck’s presentation generated a lot of discussion around complex BOM/Routing logic and designing models to support engineering.
Practice makes perfect?
Lots of comments coming my way about best practices lately...Thought I'd share some of my warped thinking with you again..
Out With The Old, in With the New
Hopefully you've heard this band......If not, maybe you should investigate them...
The VC/IPC Check Tool is Out!
Dear CWG,
In the last CWG conference in Marco Island I've shown you our ideas for a configuration model check tool and asked for your feedback.
I'm pleased to announce the availability of the first version of this tool today. And even better: as this tool's job is to support you with your existing models, and as it only adds a single button to PME VC, we're making it available to all ERP 6.0 customers, regardless of how many Enhancement Packages you've applied.
CWG Twin Cities Meeting in Feb?
Now that the holidays are over, I would like to get a meeting planned in Feb.
I am looking for volunteers to present or possible topics to cover. I am thinking this meeting will be a conference call/web meeting this time (mostly likely 1 - 2 hours). Please reply to this message or feel free to e-mail me at lori.nigbur@te.com if you have ideas. (Can also just let me know if you are interested in meeting, so I get an idea for the number of people!)
Thanks,
Lori Nigbur

Social Media..Should You Care??
Do you drink the social butterfly kool-aid?? Even more important, why should you be drinking it?? Well, lets take a stroll down the warped thinking of my mind again.
ASUG Inhales.....a new type of SIG
We all know that Bill Clinton "didn't inhale" during college...ASUG (the Americas SAP Users Group) recently launched a new SIG (Special Interest Group), so you could say ASUG proudly inhaled..
