BASE24 Sunset Survey

Survey Results

An EBUG survey of members' views on ACI's plans for the 'sunsetting' of BASE24 and the migration to BASE24-eps was carried out over several months around the end of 2008 and early 2009. The results were presented to the Customer-Only session at the Annual Conference in Prague. A similar survey was conducted by our Americas counterpart user group ACE and presented at the ACE conference in Washington 31 May to 3 June.

The results of the EBUG survey can now be reviewed here. A password is required and access is restricted to EBUG members only. If you have not been notified of the password, please contact EBUG.

ACI will provide a formal response to both surveys around the end of July.


BASE24 Lifecycle Webcast

Webcast on Tuesday 23 June Great Success

Jim Tomaney, Barclays Bank One of the many thought-provoking presentations at the Annual EBUG Conference in Prague was 'How to Reinvent your BASE24 Lifecycle and Save Millions' by Jim Tomaney of Barclays Bank. On Tuesday 23 June, HP kindly hosted a webcast for the benefit of those EBUG members who missed out the first time around.

The webcast was very well-attended with up to 69 people from around the globe logged in to HP Virtual Rooms and many others listening on the call and following the downloaded slides. We appreciate that some organisations' security policies relating to ActiveX controls prevented everyone from accessing the webcast online but are sure that it proved very worthwhile for those who managed to join in by whichever method.

So thanks to HP for running this event for us and, especially, many thanks to Jim Tomaney for giving up his time and putting a lot of effort into sharing his experiences with his EBUG colleagues. It is a difficult task to give a presentation without being able to see your audience or receive the normal feedback so well done!
