Last IUA Conference - Wednesday 6th June 2007 London

The UK Ingres Users Association and Ingres Corporation recently hosted a one-day user group conference at Holborn Bars, 138 - 142 Holborn, London, EC1N 2NQ.

Once again, with generous support from Ingres, this event was free to attend, and featured our very successful mix of strategic and technical sessions.

Senior speakers from Ingres, including President and COO Roger Burkhardt, and Emma McGrattan, updated us on what they’ve been up to for the last year and what’s planned for the next. The conference attendees found it useful and informative,.

Ingres Corp buys Ingres Product Set

The UK Ingres User Association (IUA) welcomes the formation of Ingres® Corporation, and looks forward to a close working relationship. The IUA believes that this move is very good news for existing Ingres users, as it will undoubtedly increase the effort being spent on marketing, promoting and supporting the Ingres product set, which can only be a good thing for all users.

 

While users will need to make their own judgements on the commercial impact of these changes on their own organisations, we hope and expect that Ingres Corporation's goal of substantially increasing user numbers can best be achieved by having a licensing model that both new and existing users are happy with.

We have had a number of initial discussions with the management team from Ingres Corporation, and are greatly encouraged by their passion and enthusiasm for re-invigorating this world-class technology. We look forward to continuing to work with them to represent the interests of users, and to facilitate excellent communications between these groups.
