LAKE Customer Conference 2014 Highlights
Thank you to everyone who attended the LAKE Customer Conference held at the Royal York hotel on the 20th May. Your feedback from the conference was universally positive, apart from a number of comments about the warmth of the main room. A selection of your comments is reproduced on the right hand side of this page.
Following a welcome and introduction from LAKE's General Manager - Adrian Howard - the day began with a preview of Infor Q&A Evolve and Q&A Dashboards. This is the biggest thing to happen to Q&A (formerly Vision) for many years so there was understandable interest from all delegates. The day was then organised into a packed agenda of three conference streams with delegates choosing between sessions for Financials, Procurement and Performance Management. A summary of these is given below.
If you would like to learn more about any of the solutions presented at the conference please contact your account manager or call LAKE on 0113 273 7788.
