Staten Island, NY (May 18, 2010) - Celerant Technology’s 2010
User Conference was held April 29-30 at the beautiful Grand Hyatt Hotel
in San Antonio, TX. This year’s conference included interactive
break-out sessions, training sessions, and workshops, all of which
introduced the new features and functionalities which have been
developed this year and made available to the Celerant client base.
“This year’s conference proved to be our most successful yet, with a record number
of attendees” stated Ian Goldman, CEO/President of Celerant Technology. “As an
advanced retail software company with a dedication to technology and innovation, we
develop multiple versions each year and introduce new functionality based on the
needs of our clients, market trends and the ingenuity of our development team. At
this year’s event, we were pleased to announce the introduction of our new data
warehouse, further advanced dashboard reports, redesigned point of sale screen, our
own integrated General Ledger and a complete Content Management System for the web,
along with several advances to our website analytics.”
The 2010 Celerant User Conference was an educational opportunity for clients to
learn about the advancements in the Command Retail system, as well as an effective
networking opportunity to interact and learn from other retailers. Along with the
increase in the number of attendees, there were also more Celerant trainers and
moderators than ever before, thanks to the 20% increase in staff the company has
experienced this year. Additional training sessions and hands-on workshops were
made available, and clients were able to create their own schedule, providing the
most effective learning experience for each individual client.
“I enjoy attending the Celerant conference because the information is not one
sided,” stated Callie Wilson, General Manager of Internet and Operations for Chinese
Laundry. “In addition to the overview and break-out sessions, it's an opportunity
to see (listen) to what other clients using the same product are doing and I find
this the most beneficial. I always look forward to the conference because the
networking with other clients is priceless and I know I will leave with a lot more
knowledge and information than when I arrived, and that my business will be the
better for it.”
Chad Stearns, Vice President of Operations for Jay’s Sporting Goods, said “Thank you
for organizing such an insightful, smooth-running event. It is tremendously helpful
for our business as we learn more about the software and its capabilities, in
addition to spending some personal time interacting with you and your colleagues.
This year's client appreciation dinner was phenomenal; literally the icing on the
cake. We enjoyed the entire event tremendously.”
“The highlight of the conference was meeting other users and discussing their
struggles in retail and their victories in using the system” said Jeff Jones, CFO
for David’s Western Store and Saddle Shop. “Knowing other people have similar
problems is comforting but finding ways to operate better using Celerant is a great
thing. I now have contacts with other retailers I can call and kick ideas around to
better leverage the abilities of the Celerant Solution. Also meeting so many from
the Celerant staff and having access to support people all the way to the owner
makes Celerant "real" and more than just a product. I look forward to future User
Group meetings for the ability to connect with retailers and the Celerant staff to
learn how I can improve my business and share ideas for how to further advance the
system to help us become better at what we do.”
Research has already begun to determine the location for next year’s User Conference
and the Celerant clients will again vote on their city of choice. With the clients’
feedback from this year’s event, there will be many new concepts introduced to make
next year’s event an even greater success.
