Hyland Software Hosts United Kingdom User Group Conference

Hyland Software, Inc., developer of the OnBase enterprise content management (ECM) software suite, hosted over 40 attendees from England, Denmark and Germany, at the Birmingham Regional OnBase Group of User Experts (ROGUE) this July in Birmingham, United Kingdom.

Hyland currently has more than 143 customers and 20 partners in European countries, such as: United Kingdom; Norway; Denmark; Germany; Italy; Sweden; France; Spain; Belgium; Finland; and Ireland.

OnBase is an integrated suite of ECM software solutions built upon on a central content repository. Over 5,100 customers from small and mid-size businesses (SMBs) to the world's largest enterprises use OnBase to drive down the cost and time it takes to complete business processes, reduce their susceptibility to risk and comply with government regulations. OnBase is for industries, such as Financial Services, State and Local Government, Healthcare, Compliance and Education, where employees typically process large volumes of paper forms, printed reports, word processing files and e-mail correspondence.

ROGUE meetings are one-day sessions that allow attendees to gain knowledge about the latest OnBase modules and enhancements, meet with fellow OnBase users and learn how other organizations have improved their operations using OnBase. Attendees also have the opportunity to meet with Hyland employees and receive insights on how to achieve maximized results using OnBase.

"As an OnBase end user, the user group was extremely informational, allowing for additional insights into the use and applications of OnBase," said Rory Pairman, installation engineer at Erinaceous Group, the UK's largest property management firm.

According to Hyland Software's International Director, Geoff Wingar, "Hyland's success over the past decade, both in the United States and across Europe, wouldn't have been possible without the strong and dedicated business relationships we've developed with value-added resellers, hardware and software vendors, systems integrators and consulting firms, as well as OnBase end users. Through events such as the Birmingham ROGUE, Hyland will look to build upon a solid International presence, offering current and potential partners and customers all the benefits of OnBase that are apparent in North America."
