Symitar Selects CGS’s VirtualEvents365SM
Platform for its 2009 Educational Conference & Technology Expo
New York, NY and San Diego, CA (June 1, 2009) –
Computer Generated Solutions®, Inc. (CGS), a leading
provider of software, outsourcing solutions and business & IT
services to organizations worldwide, today announced that Symitar
has selected the company’s VirtualEvents365 platform as the
framework for its 2009 Educational Conference & Technology Expo.
Symitar, a division of Jack Henry & Associates (Nasdaq: JKHY), is
the leading provider of data processing and technology solutions for
credit unions. The event, for users of Symitar’s Episys core
processing platform, will be held August 26-27, 2009.
“With money tight and travel budgets slashed, our credit union
clients needed a legitimate alternative to an in-person conference,”
said Symitar president Kathy Hooker Burress. “By offering a virtual
conference to our clients, we’re saving them both time and money,
while delivering the same great educational opportunity that we have
for the past 25 years.” Hooker Burress added that because of the
ease of attending a virtual event, she expects more participants
than ever before.
“We knew going into this that the key to success was finding the
right virtual event platform,” added Symitar marketing manager John
San Filippo. “The robustness and stability of the VirtualEvents365
system, the expertise demonstrated by CGS staff, and stellar
references all made CGS stand out from the many vendors we
evaluated.” San Filippo noted that the virtual event will include
the three key components of Symitar’s live events: top-notch
educational sessions, a number of social networking opportunities,
and an impressive exhibit hall filled with different types of
vendors.
CGS’s VirtualEvents365 provides a web-based environment that
enables organizations to plan, promote, deliver, track and monetize
a variety of events virtually, including user meetings, conferences,
job fairs, product launches and training programs. “Symitar’s
selection of our platform is a testament to our strength as the most
scalable, robust and flexible framework for virtual events,”
commented Michael Wilding, senior vice president of technology
solutions & training at CGS. “Leading companies in technology,
healthcare and financial services, as well as agencies specializing
in event management, have partnered with CGS to make more meaningful
connections with their target constituencies while greatly reducing
the cost of engagement.”
