Looking Back at the 2021 AB Suite User Virtual Conference

Taking place November 9th and 10th, 2021, the 2021 AB Suite User Virtual Conference
was special compared to prior conferences.

This year, we ran some very unique, interesting, and innovative sessions – focusing on big-picture concepts, like low-code/no-code development, our strategic roadmap, and more. Utilizing a new online platform, the conference delivered an informative and interactive event that allowed over 150 members of the Agile Business Suite (AB Suite®) community to learn about the solution’s latest developments while freely interacting with both Unisys subject matter experts and their peers.

The event covered a wide range of topics over its two-day run, featuring speakers from around the globe and plenty of Q&A sessions throughout.

Day one began with opening remarks from Charles Lefebvre, Unisys Senior Director of Solution Management for ClearPath Forward®. From there, attendees took part in sessions covering such topics as the challenges that cause testing to slow delivery, and how the automation tools in AB Suite can mitigate these delays. Additionally, the first day examined the modelling and coding features that help to refactor applications for reduced maintenance – and highlighted the new security features that will be available in AB Suite Release 8.0 and prior releases.

The second day began with a joint session, hosted by Unisys and analyst firm 451 Research, discussing the importance of low-code/no-code development and the ways AB Suite addresses these needs. From there, we hosted a “roadmap” session that covered the strategy and plans for future releases, with a focus on enhancing 24x7 availability, low-code/no-code development, and improved connectivity. Attendees were polled throughout on what they feel should be prioritized in future releases, as well.

The day closed with a client use-case presentation and a “Birds of a Feather” session, during which all attendees were given the opportunity to discuss anything related to AB Suite in an open, inclusive, and informal environment.

It was great to engage once again with the AB Suite community, introduce the latest developments we have planned, and discuss the enhancements that will help propel your organizations forward. And a big “thank you” to everyone who took part in the event and helped make it the best attended AB Suite user event we’ve ever hosted.
