Tampa, FL – December 1, 2005 – Pilgrim Software, the global leader in Enterprise Compliance and Quality Management, held its annual user conference, Fusion 5, November 6 - 9 at the Marriott Waterside Hotel and Marina in Tampa, Florida.

“We are very excited that Fusion 5 was an exceptional experience for our customers,” said Lynn Perry, Fusion Project Director. “The conference agenda had over 57 opportunities for attendees to listen, learn, and share their individual experiences.  There were a multitude of events ranging from a Golf Scramble to key note speakers to an on-site user lab where customers could watch live technical support to better understand what is involved in their technical support.” 

“I can’t wait until the next Fusion!  We always learn so much from simply talking with other customers,” said Jason Demmi, Air Liquide. “To sum up Fusion in 2 words - Pilgrim listens. It is through events like Fusion that Pilgrim proves to the user community that the voice of the customer is their key focus.  We are excited to continue moving forward with Pilgrim.”

Fusion 5 brought Pilgrim’s diverse customer base of executives, IT people, and project managers together with Pilgrim’s executives, Technical Support, Professional Services, Account Executives, Engineers and partners. Attendees were able to network and learn at seminars, workshops and keynote presentations led by industry experts, customers, and Pilgrim’s employees and partners. Sessions highlighted business and compliance strategies and processes, industry trends, and future enhancements of Pilgrim’s solutions. 

The success of Fusion could not have happened without the support of the following sponsors: Camstar Systems, Cincom, Canon, Dell, Inc., FDAnews, GxP Partners, Microsoft, MD&DI, MX, Quality Magazine, Stelex, Streale Innovation, and Vital Path.

Jeff Clemmons, of Blood Systems, Inc. believes that Fusion is, “the best conference that I have attended in over 10 years! Everyone did a super job!”

“Fusion 5 is undoubtedly Pilgrim’s most successful conference to date because of the constant customer interaction,” said Prashanth Rajendran, COO. “Attendees had many learning opportunities and events at which they could network and freely exchange ideas. Pilgrim’s employees and partners were also involved in every session and event to listen and learn from our customers. There was an excitement at the conference that has energized the attendees for Fusion 6.  We are excited about the many customers who have already asked to present at Fusion 6 and look forward to hosting the conference in the spring of 2007.”
