CEIR – UCT as conference partner at #DACHNUG51

, ,

The 51st DACHNUG took place this year from June 17 to 19 in the beautiful Marinaforum in Regensburg. As a conference for users and providers of HCL software solutions (in the field of enterprise collaboration and no-code/low-code/pro-code application development), it was the ideal place for us to be represented again this year with the CEIR team and our HCL-sponsored University Competence Center for Collaboration Technologies (UCT).

As a regular conference partner of DACHNUG, we were able to present our research and projects in a number of  presentations – in which some of the companies attending the conference were also involved – and to exchange ideas with interested parties at our booth.

Theo Heselmans invited us to participate and this was his last event as the Chair of the ENGAGE User Group before handing over the Chairperson role to his two successors. The conference location was “Handelsbeurs”, the historic stock exchange in Antwerp, Belgium, an impressive venue that attracted even more conference participants than in previous years. The conference venue not only offered the perfect environment for exchanging ideas and for networking, but also provided the setting for first-class presentations. The CEIR team prepared two sessions for the conference.

Our first experiences using the Belsoft Community Manager

As mentioned in our blog post about the UniConnect update to HCL Connections version 7.0; not only did we update to Connections Version 7 but we also expanded our collaboration platform with the integration of various tools from Belsoft. The Belsoft Community Manager is already being used productively as new users of UniConnect are now being automatically added to the “UniConnect Community” when they register. This community is used to communciate important information to our users (e.g., planned maintenance work and updates). In the past, following registration to UniConnect users had to be manually added one by one to this community by our admins; this is now being handled automatically. Further, for over ten years, without extensive analysis of our databases we had no practical way to verify that everyone was (still) a member of this community. Thanks to the Belsoft Community Manager, we can now easily ensure that all users automatically become and stay members of the community and remain informed. In addition, the tool is saving a lot of time as invitations to join the community no longer have to be sent manually.

We thank our friends from Belsoft for their generous support. As soon as we have gained practical experience with the Belsoft Notifier, we will provide a further update. We believe the Belsoft Notifier will also help us improve our communication with users and improve knowledge sharing on UniConnect.
