Each year the PMWeb Annual User Conference raises the bar on conference excellence and this year was no exception. This year’s conference saw the return of many PMWeb clients and welcomed multiple new companies and their users. The user experiences shared during sessions enabled participants to see, and hear how organizations implement, use and enhance PMWeb.
Marc Jaude, President and Founder of PMWeb, addressing conference attendees
One of the highlights of this year’s conference was the lead-in presentation from Ken Damon, PMWeb’s Product Manager, “Introduction to PMWeb Version 6.0”. This latest version was officially released on October 23rd, the day of the presentation. Of the many enhancements users can to look forward to, the most significant relate to PMWeb’s Visual Workflow. Enhancements to this feature result in easier administration of business processes and workflow roles as well as expanded functionality within each workflow step.
PMWeb Mobile was also showcased, a new application allowing real-time end user data entry on smartphones and tablets in both on-line and off-line conditions.
The conference further provided a unique platform for direct engagement with the PMWeb team allowing exchange of ideas and direct communication from users for requested features and enhancements. One of the most popular elements of the conference in the last two years has been “live polling” with users texting votes for best features, most sought after enhancements and which enhancement should be next on the PMWeb roadmap.
The polling session was followed by Ken Damon’s very popular PMWeb Roadmap presentation, featuring ongoing work on Forecasting, which aligns precisely with the polling taken this year, just as the workflow revisions in Release Version 6.0 were foreshadowed in last year’s polling.
