CBORD UGC 2008 - Client Testimonials

“I’ve found the conference to be very useful for networking and learning the issues and successes of other clients in implementing products we plan to use in the near future. It helps plan the real time and resources necessary to get to a live state rather than a timetable a salesman will give you. I suggest looking for help beyond that from CBORD—attend the conference to hear what others have done to make the flexibility of the CBORD product line work for their operation.”

“The UGC is a great conference to explore how other campuses are using the same product in unique ways to meet their needs. You can get new ideas to solve your data management and housing issues by hearing about other colleges’ successes and struggles. Getting updates on where CBORD is headed for the future and having the opportunity to give input on product development is really important and valuable. It is an incredible learning experience for new and veteran CBORD users.”

“As an attendee of fifteen past conferences, I find UGC very stimulating. It provides me with an opportunity to explore how others use the same technology with creativity and foresight. We are all faced with different challenges in the campus environment and to participate and share such a vast knowledgebase brings a lot of excitement every year. With the expanded caucuses, new technology, and new participants, it broadens our horizons considerably.”

“No other industry event is so full of information and peer networking. If you only get to go to one conference, this is the one to choose.”

“It’s a great time to catch up with folks who use the same systems as I do and hear how they might use these programs differently. I always come back with some new ‘tips & tricks’ to share with our users, and they really appreciate those!”

“The UGC was essential for my staff and me as new users of the CBORD Odyssey product. Seeing how other institutions use the product both in terms of everyday use and new innovations was exciting to my staff. We came back to our campus with a new level of energy and excitement of what our future looks like using CBORD products.”

“Participating in the 2007 CBORD UGC was beyond my expectation. I thoroughly benefited from all the knowledge, support, and networking available. Without a doubt UGC was a delightful and invaluable experience.”

“The 2007 UGC was a great opportunity for me: not only the amount I learned in the sessions, but also the opportunity to network with other users and learn how they use the systems. The location, facilities, and activities that the CBORD team planned were all first rate. I’m looking forward to Texas already!”

“It’s always good to see old friends and even better to make new ones. There’s not a better place than the annual User Group Conference that CBORD hosts.”

“This year’s User Group Conference has helped me in continuing our vision in our company and the partnership with CBORD: to advocate advanced technology in the supermarket and restaurant industries.”

“I have been going to the UGC for a long time. I enjoy seeing and networking with the CBORDians and with other users. It is a great time to talk about the product and learn how other users use it. I always come away with good information. I also feel the caucus session is instrumental in how we shape the product. It is a great time to give feedback and new ideas.”

“Love the client-presented sessions. These were real-life applications that gave me so many ideas for my CBORD system back at the university.”

“Attending User Group Conferences is a ‘must’ for anyone who uses CBORD systems. The networking, sessions, and one-on-one contact with CBORD staff are important parts of maximizing our investment. I consider it part of my job responsibilities to attend every year.”
