GRUG - BECOME A
SPONSOR!
The success of our Webinar program was due in large part to the ease in which we are able to manage it. IBM Rational and the Global Rational User Group made this possible by eliminating the manual event-management processes and automating the capture of customer data, which had a corresponding impact on new business. Without question, the User Group's ability to capture, store and share customer information was crucial to our ability to be proactive and respond quickly to Webinar-generated sales activity. The result was a Webinar program that complemented our global marketing efforts while enhancing the overall performance of CAST's business. Jake Messier - Marketing Communications Director CAST Software The Global Rational User Group Community is a
