Under the theme ‘The OnGuard User Group overcomes the crisis’, the OnGuard User Group presented its ideas and activities for the coming year to OnGuard users. Wim Doorn kicked off the afternoon with a brief introduction and a presentation about credit management at a legal firm, namely CMS Derks Star Busmann.
Marc van Zanten, lawyer and partner at CMS Derks Star Busmann, and (joint) trustee for DSB Beheer B.V., continued the afternoon schedule with useful tips about how credit managers can extract positives from bankruptcies. Credit managers are able to take various measures before, during and after the bankruptcy in order to safeguard the collection of claims.
After a brief pause, Arendo Sturre, Team leader Credit Control at Ernst & Young and key member of the OnGuard User Group, highlighted some of the developments within the OnGuard User Group. Over the past year the OnGuard User Group has opted for another approach, whereby it operates as a support organ for OnGuard and product development. At the start of the year, it helped the key members to test release 5.13 (the winter release), with a few members following a pilot of the new OnGuard Interactive training. Jos Hermsen (Deli XL) and Carola van Doleweerd (Udenhout Groep) outlined their experiences.
To conclude, Eelco Krekelberg, product manager at OnGuard, presented the new functionalities of OnGuard Release 5.13, released in March 2010. Most of these functionalities have been put forward by the OnGuard User Group. This is because OnGuard has also assigned 120 hours of software development to its user group. The new functionalities will be further outlined in the upcoming OnGuard newsletter (The Credit Vision).
The afternoon was appropriately concluded with a cosy drink in the cafe of CMS Derks Star Busmann. This was an opportunity to meet other credit managers and share experiences about credit management and OnGuard software. Everyone made good use of this opportunity, so the afternoon can be seen as a resounding success.
If you have any questions about the OnGuard User Group, you can e-mail to the OnGuard User Group directly. You can also personally approach key members - personal contact details for each key member can be found on the key members page.
On behalf of the key members of the OnGuard User Group, we would like to thank all guests for attending the meeting.
