Tampa, FL – Aug. 29, 2006 -- Pilgrim Software, a leading provider of Enterprise Compliance and Quality Management (ECQM) software solutions, today announced that its Fusion 2007 User Conference will be held March 4 through March 7, 2007 at the Don Cesar Beach Resort in St. Petersburg, Fla.

Fusion 2007, expected to be Pilgrim’s largest conference to-date, will bring in experts, users and guests from across North America and Europe to discuss industry best practices, share success stories and learn more about their Pilgrim solutions. The event also will feature guest speakers from the manufacturing and life sciences sectors who will share their industry and subject matter expertise with attendees.  In addition, Pilgrim’s business partners will be highlighted on how they can extend the business value of Pilgrim’s solution.

"We are very excited about the roster of speakers and topics that we are working on for Fusion ‘07," said Nikki Willett, Vice President of Marketing. "The agenda will feature leading Compliance and Quality industry experts to help our customers gain immediate business value from the event."

Fusion 2007 will offer a wide range of educational opportunities for attendees. Learning sessions are tailored to appeal to users, technical and executive-level attendees. The Fusion 2007 user lab will provide hands-on training and mini-workshops. Special Interest Group (SIG) meetings will enable attendees to meet with other customers in small, interactive groups to discuss their processes, share their best practices and provide input into future product direction.

"The real secret behind a successful user conference is customer involvement," said Prashanth Rajendran, Pilgrim’s Chief Operating Officer. "Attendees want a conference where they can exchange ideas freely and learn directly from other customers. That’s what our conference provides – an opportunity to learn what other organizations have done and what has helped them accomplish their business objectives."
