Kelowna User Group Meeting to be held on September 19, 2001

The Kelowna User Group Meeting will be held Wednesday September 19, 2001 from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.

 

We are hoping that this sunny Okanagan city will be a convenient meeting spot for our users and potential clients located in the Interior.  This is a great chance to network with other QRMS users and records managers.  The ARMA fall seminar is being held the previous day at the same venue with topics including Automated Records Management Software and Electronic Document Management Systems, so plan to take in both events.  ARMA seminar attendees are most welcome to join us!

 

  • Learn more about the QRMS Records Management System
  • Describe your favorite QRMS features
  • Learn solutions from other users
  • Give input into future enhancements
  • Talk to our senior programmers and support staff

 

Be the first to see QUEST – our next version!

QUEST includes all the features you are using plus some great enhancements.
