Dear Colleagues:

You are kindly invited to participate in our Key Requirements Gathering for a new EUROCENTRES Industry Software (SW) Tool.

P L E A S E * S E N D * Y O U R * R E P L I E S * B Y * 1 6 - 0 5 - 2 0 1 4

It is important that you fill out all questions according to the needs of your department. I therefore recommend you discuss those questions you are unsure about with your key users.

We are actually evaluating the market for a new more appropriate SW Tool. This tool should mainly cover the education industry specifics. We are not aiming to find a one single integrated data base (‘backbone’) such as AX Dynamics, so you might keep that in mind when answering the questions.

If you have questions at any time about the survey or the procedures, please contact me - Eileen MacAulay - at +41-44-485 52 36 or by email at the email address specified below.

Thank you very much for your time and support. Please start with the survey now by clicking on the Continue button below.
