New eRoom User Group established
 OpenVine Solutions is proud to
sponsor a new eRoom User Group, whose purpose is to
bring together eRoom users in the United States and
abroad to share, discuss, and learn about EMC's eRoom
software. With more than 2000 companies and an
estimated 5 million users worldwide using eRoom as a
mission critical application, there is widespread
interest in such a group. A
User-driven initiative
In May 2007 at the EMC World
Conference in Orlando, Florida, eRoom users connected
informally during many of the collaboration workshops
and talks. Wyeth Pharmaceuticals took the
initiative to speak with other companies about their
interest in starting an eRoom user group. With 25+
companies showing an interest, that was enough to begin
the process. OpenVine, also in attendance, offered to
help coordinate the effort. The current working name of
the group is simple: the eRoom User Group (eRug).
We will be asking for input for other names (or to keep
this one) in the near future.
Group Structure
The structure for eRug includes
the following:
-
There will be quarterly web
conference meetings, 90 minutes in duration, with
time for two presentations on eRoom best practices
and open discussions. Presentations will be
given by member organizations on a volunteer basis.
-
An ongoing Blog will be
provided on OpenVine's site to summarize meeting
presentations and to continue the discussions that
arise.
-
Membership in the group is
free, and is open to any company with eRoom version
7.x or later. There will not be any
discussions around topics that are specific to
earlier versions of eRoom. Companies can sign
up for the group on OpenVine's website.
-
Registrations for quarterly
meetings is required and a link will provided with
the e-mail invitation
-
The first meeting is
scheduled for Tuesday, January 15, 2008
at 12:00pm EST. Future
meetings will be planned soon after the first
meeting with input from attendees.
