Learning and Connecting at AB Suite User Day

On October 10th, 2018, clients from across Europe gathered at the Unisys Netherlands offices for the annual AB Suite User Day.

Attendees were treated to a packed schedule and some incredibly compelling content, much of which was delivered by Unisys personnel:

• AB Suite Program Update and Strategy: Offered an overview of the features planned for Agile Business Suite (AB Suite®) Release 7.0, as well as what’s on the horizon for AB Suite 8.0 and beyond.
  
• AB Suite Recent Developer Enhancements: Showed developers how a solid understanding of the AB Suite Logic Editor will help them read and write code in the most efficient way possible.
  
• AB Suite Public Model File: Covered what the public model file is and how it can be utilized in the AB Suite development environment.
  
• AB Suite and Object-Oriented Programming: Shared an example OO project in AB Suite.
  
• AB Suite, Microsoft® Team Foundation Server (TFS), and DevOps: Reviewed the integration capabilities that bring TFS and DevOps concepts into the AB Suite environment, as well as how everything works together to help you get high-quality releases to market faster.
  
• AB Suite and the Cloud: Discussed the possibilities that will be open to you with the AB Suite development environment running in the cloud.
  
• AB Suite 7.0 and Beyond: Introduced the refreshed Product Feature Modes in AB Suite 7.0, which allow you to expose specific functionality based on your unique requirements.
  

Unisys employees weren’t the only ones running sessions. To truly put the “user” in AB Suite User Day, clients delivered a couple sessions during the event, as well.

For example, a team from Dutch insurer Achmea discussed how their company utilizes the Model Analysis Tool for Research, Investigation, and XREF (MATRIX) tool.

And Principality Building Society, based in the UK, described their experiences as they made the move from EAE to AB Suite.

We also invited attendees to an informal roundtable session that offered an opportunity to talk openly with the Unisys team about anything and everything related to EAE and AB Suite.

All in all, it was a great event that provided a great opportunity to learn about the development environment, meet some new faces, and get in some valuable networking time. We thank anyone who attended, ran a session, or supported the event from behind the scenes.

We hope to see you at the next AB Suite User Day!
