Booth and showroom at Insights Drakensburg 2011. Softline always make a real effort and it is evident in the success of their shows. Good to see some competition coming up there too with Sarah and Kevin from Entelect showing that integrated e-commerce is coming of age in all parts of the world. Even though XM is better. (Sorry guys… couldn’t resist!)
everything you didn’t want to know about e-commerce

Well there are still one heck of a lot of people. They all seem to knoweach other too. Its interesting the size and variety of products or stands. Some go all out an dothers seem to leave brochures unattended in little booths. Being a Kiwi here is definately a bonus – people are more open to talking. I have got some good ideas for when we are here next.
It was the big night and for many exhibitors and Sage employees a collective sigh of relief… and congratualtions on a job well done to all of them. This was a great opportunity to immerse ourselves in ‘Nashville’ culture – Whiskey and Harleys! Complete with local talent and BBQ ribs. After being suitably thrashed at pool and Virtual racing we setlled in to a long night yelling at each other over the music and talking about everything but work. I think most people were all talked-out about software.
The highlight of the night for me had to be when they started up the Harleys at closing time. A V-twin rumbling in a fuction hall is a very unique sound.
A big thanks to Ann Cumming and the team at Softline for a wonderful and very successful trip. I was delighted by their hospitality and overwhelming response to the new product, XM Oxygen. Our first sites are going in this week and we will be well underway come May and ready for the North America Insights 2009 conference in Nashville, Tennessee!
Once again, many thanks to everyone at Softline, their Partners and some of the team from ACCPAC Head Office. Special mention to Jeremy Waterman, Scott Zandbergen, Nadine Viger, Neeshta Venkamah and Andrew & Awie from Enabling solutions. A great bunch of very talented and dedicated people. I look forward to my next trip to South Africa!
This is my little Blog for anyone and everyone who is interested in what we are up to at XM – which is quite a lot! I’ll be dropping some quite big names and some bigger claims, but thats because we just happen to be outstanding at what we do!
Go well…
