We’ll be there – will you?
As a proud supporter of ASIS International and its various events, we are happy to announce that we will be exhibiting at the following conferences in April:
If you are heading to any of these shows, please stop by our booth to touch base! We would love to hear about your incident management mandate, answer any questions you may have, or show you the latest version of our Incident Reporting and Investigation Management software, Perspective. Already have Perspective? Catch up on some of the newest modules such as Perspective DispatchLog and Perspective Mobile. Or… ask us about our most popular module, Perspective Workflow, a tool that specializes in custom alerts and business process automation.
Not going to be there? Let us set up a personal demo for you…

As stated in my previous post, Service-Oriented Architectures have changed the way we make software here at PPM 2000. With this change came new opportunities, our largest being systems integration. Let’s start with a definition:
“In information technology, systems integration is the process of linking together different computing systems and software applications physically or functionally, to act as a coordinated whole.”
At PPM, this means that our software gets to be a part of the software eco-system running in the ‘cloud’ or at our customer’s sites.

What a great week we just had in St. Pete Beach, Florida at our annual Perspective Users’ Conference!
This year’s conference was our first sell out since Perspective was released, there were many first time attendees (including one literally from the other side of the world—Australia) and it included one of the best sessions I’ve ever seen, as a presenter or attendee. The session I’m referring to is a client panel discussion where we had Delta Air Lines, Raytheon, Monash University and Progress Energy talk about how they use Perspective and the data they get from the program.

I have two phrases courtesy of our Keynote Speaker, Shayne Bates, CPP, of Microsoft Global Security that I have to share… ‘culture of no’ and ‘end user bypass’. Do you have any idea what he was referring to?
For ‘culture of no,’ Shayne was referring to the IT departments of most organizations where the easy answer—admittedly sometimes with very good reason—is ‘no’. In the past, you couldn’t get around it. Now, you can, and with an ‘end user bypass’, you circumvent the IT group by going straight to the Cloud. As amusing as this may be to anyone who’s ever had a tough time with IT, the best way, of course, is for IT and Corporate Security to work together. And, throughout his keynote, Shayne touched on the importance of a partnership with IT as he shared some general Cloud knowledge with the attendees while appealing to their security sensibilities by sharing the Cloud Strategy currently in place at Microsoft Global Security.

It’s Day One of our Users’ Conference and Perspective clients from all over North America (and one from Australia!) have converged on the TradeWinds resort in St. Pete Beach, Florida for two days ALL about Incident Management. It’s a sold out crowd with some high expectations.
As I was speaking with various attendees who are back for their third, fourth and, in one case, eighth conference, they all expressed how much the Users’ Conference has impacted them in the past and how… given that… they need to return home this year with even more knowledge and ideas.
So, can you really keep learning, year after year, when you’re talking about the same software system with the same fundamental purpose?
