In his remarks, Jenner encouraged the audience to continue reaching for the next level of success by making a commitment to excellence.
Under the conference theme, “In Pursuit of Excellence,” Fusion VII featured presentations from a diverse cross-section of leading international industry experts in topics such as Lean Manufacturing, Going Green, GRC, Risk Management, and proven Best Practices presented by Pilgrim’s customers. Audiences uncovered how enterprises worldwide are engaging those practices to accomplish their business objectives. In addition, the event was sponsored by QAD, Cincom, GxP Partners, Virtify, Axway and Working Words to highlight how they can extend the business value of Pilgrim’s solutions, along with media sponsors – Contract Pharma, FDAnews, Medical Device Magazine, Medical Product Outsourcing, Pharmaceutical Online and Quality Magazine.
Learning sessions at Fusion VII were tailored to appeal to users, technical and executive-level attendees. Those individuals were brought together with Pilgrim’s executive, technical, professional services and account executive staff, to gain a comprehensive perspective on the products and services available from Pilgrim Software. The Fusion VII Technology Lab provided hands-on training and mini-workshops conducted by Pilgrim’s implementation and technical support experts. Special interest group sessions provided an opportunity for 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.
“Meeting Pilgrim people behind the scenes was phenomenal,” said Robert Dicheck, Vice President of Quality & Regulatory Affairs at Osmetech Molecular Diagnostics. “And we can really benefit from the networking and being able to talk about solutions and opportunities with our peers.”
“Participating in Fusion will surely pay off in spades,” echoed Cynthia Pleach, IS Administrator for Stryker Biotech. “You build relationships when you get individual time with Pilgrim’s Sales people, their product managers and technical staff. You get to let your voice be heard.”
The conference concluded with an “Ask the Executives” live panel session during which conference attendees asked Pilgrim’s senior management candid questions about Pilgrim’s current status and its outlook for 2009 and beyond.
