All New Content Focuses on Integrated Solutions at Advanced Solution Summit Scheduled for November 2-3 in Chicago

All new content with a focus on bringing all your systems together to serve constituents in new and exciting ways – that's the focus of the Advanced Solution Summit scheduled in Chicago for November 2-3, 2005.

As the result of a new external assessment of integrated solution options conducted by Barrington Partners, as well as a new game plan for bridging data between MicroEdge products and new TSC preferred products, the Tech Roadmap can become a reality in your shop. Between open sessions where you can see integrated approaches in action, and closed sessions in which you can "talk turkey" with those in the know, this Summit is not to be missed by those of you who are being pressed to make critical, strategic decisions.

Special guests include Andrew Hunter of Barrington Partners who will respond to questions regarding the Integrated Solutions "consumer report" recently completed by his company. Also featured will be George W. Macintyre, MicroEdge executive vice president, who will outline MicroEdge's strategy moving forward.
