Local Authorities, eFinancials Special Interest Group Meeting & Procurement Session
11th December 2008, London
Sharing knowledge to deliver winning results is just one of the reasons why you may want to attend our LA Authorities Special Interest Group but there are so many other benefits from taking an active part in . Meeting and learning from others who are facing the same business challenges and hearing, in their own words, the achievements and lessons learned from their most recent projects, is priceless. As is learning how to extract the best value for money from your existing systems.
We realise that many organisations are feeling the economic and time pressures of the credit crunch so have put on a dual event designed to decrease travel time and cost and maximise the time spent with other users. By meeting on the same day, at the same venue, you will have access to other eFinancials users' experience and get the chance to debate across the Finance and Procurement functions best practice in these areas. These are joined by our Public Sector team - the day to day staff that you talk to most, allowing you the chance to raise and discuss any issues you may have.
COA Solutions has invested significant funds to ensure each active eFinancials company receives free of charge attendance at this very important event. A one-day event at an easy to reach location allows even the smallest of organisations to be represented. If you would like to suggest a topic for the agenda or become a speaker please contact claire.carter@coasolutions.com or your special interest group representative.
