Nolij Corporation Announces its First Ever User Conference, Engage 2009, a Tremendous Success
Beverly, Massachusetts (25 Jun 2009) – Nolij Corporation, a leading provider of higher education focused software solutions, held a successful first user conference in Boston, MA June 17 -19. Dozens of Nolij Corporation customers from near and far rallied during these tight budget times to engage in solution provoking conversations, delicious meals, fun socializing, and long overdue collaboration at Engage 2009.
During the course of the 2.5 day conference, no one cared about the weather outside as their attention was held by the multiple tracks of presentations given by clients and Nolij employees alike. John Collins’ opening address set the collegial tone for the conference and entertained the audience with screen shots of primitive renditions of the technology, stories of the early days with Villanova , Kennesaw State, Baylor and the University of Richmond ( to name a few) as well as his vision for the next 10 years. Joe Head, Dean of University Admissions and Enrollment Services at Kennesaw State University inspired the entire group with his closing day address; reminding all that enrollment is the prime directive for all campuses. He advised that “the keys to substantive change and growth are document imaging and the digital back office. Nolij stands at the forefront of these.”
The days were packed full of questions and answers, and the evenings brought everyone together for a Reggae Bar-B-Q and a good ol’ New England style clambake. Everyone hung around after hours, getting to know one another, exchanging tips and tricks and lasting well into the night enjoying new found friendships.
Nolij would like to send a special thank you to our customer presenters who helped make Engage 2009 a memorable and rewarding inaugural user conference.
The comments from attendees have been rewarding:
“Let me be among the first to say that this conference was well worth the time and money. I enjoyed meeting other Nolij Web and Transfer users/admins to share and compare notes. I’ve already added ‘Engage 2010’ to my calendar.” wrote Melba Fey, Document Imaging Coordinator at the University of Akron.
Susan Blake, Associate Dean for University Admissions at Kennesaw State University emailed “I will second Melba and say that the wonderful hospitality and incredible food was only topped by an agenda packed with information that will make a difference as we continue to evaluate our business practice and look for ways to do things more efficiently and accurately. Thank you to all the Nolij staff who made the conference the most comfortable I have ever attended. The networking was very valuable to us, also. I'm already looking forward to next year!”
“It was a terrific “Engagement” this past week in Boston. The conference was very timely with the release of Nolij Web 6 and the many sessions at the conference were very useful in my daily work. Thank you to the staff of Nolij for working so hard to put this together and making it successful.” commented David Barth, Information Services Analyst at the University of Richmond.
Nolij is grateful for the enthusiasm shown by all and we send a great big thank you to everyone who participated. Needless to say, we’re eagerly looking forward to 2010!
