The 2005 Mincron Users Conference, held April 10-14 at the Shelter Pointe resort in San Diego, presented an overview of the company's newest technological developments interspersed with general trends in the industry and the economic outlook. The conference enabled attendees, mostly the primary operational employees for their companies' information systems, to catch up on new application changes and offer feedback on the latest changes to Mincron's software. The company uses this feedback to prioritize their software changes for the next year.
Walter Ulrich, president and CEO, repeated this mantra at the opening of the conference: You have helped us. He was referring to one of the company's most hyped - and newest - software releases at the conference: the Java-based HDX Hardgoods Distribution ERP software. “The path to HDX has been long and arduous,” he said. “But it makes Mincron stronger.”
