On 16th July, in co-operation with Adobe, Arch ran a highly successful combined event which included the first FLM user group.
We were pleased to welcome delegates from 14 organisations and had 30 attendees for our morning briefing session on SAP Interactive forms by Adobe (SIFbA). The emphasis was on exploiting and implementing SIFbA solutions and presentations included Adobe’s vision for the future use of the technology. We were also pleased to welcome our guest speaker, John Burton, Project Owner at the Department of Communities and Local Government. The feedback was very positive: “the session proved useful and provided great insight into the solutions available” (UK Police service attendee).
The afternoon saw the gathering of representatives from the FLM customer base. This was a useful exchange between Arch management and FLM users. It was “great to listen to other company’s views and learn from their experience”(Services plc).
We were able to explore how to facilitate collaboration and the sharing of forms and methods, and we’ve take away 2 main things from this group; firstly, we’ve now established a new user forum on our FLM Connect site to allow customer input and discussions, as “FLMConnect will help to create a cohesive group and give quick opportunities to interact with other users”(UK Local Authority attendee). Secondly, by the end of August we will be setting out guidelines to allow customers to share forms.
