But it is also an opportunity for O'Neil to learn what our customers need to succeed. Over the years, we have had a lot of new ideas suggested to us. And as a result, our software solutions have taken some different avenues than what we initially expected. But today, this is what business is all about - change. We hope you enjoy reviewing some of the moments from our previous Conferences. Conference Reviews

You can view a gallery of conference pictures simply by clicking here. But most importantly, I cannot forget your generosity. We hoped to raise $10,000 for the Share Our Strength charity but, with all your support, we raised $23,006.81. Special recognition must go out to our Silent Auction winners and, especially to all of our other Sponsors for their donations:
We would also like to congratulate all our Strategic Partner of the Year Award winners for 2008. They are:
So what did you think of the Strategic Partner Conference 2008? Our post-conference survey really said it all:

You can view a gallery of conference pictures simply by clicking here. Sessions We ran triple-track sessions this year with speakers from government as well as commercial record centers. We heard about successful implementation of new technology, corporate & commercial record management partnerships and even guides to being successful. The support team provided a whole host of tips and ideas from RSWeb.NET customizations to RSMobile's hidden treasures. The Record Center Challenge I would like to express my personal thanks to everyone for enthusiastically taking on this challenge. You have made a lot of children very happy this summer.

We also had a lot of fun with the O'Neil Deal or No Deal game with a prize of up to $5000 value. Congratulation to Mark Womak of Arizona Records Management who struck a deal of a free user license beating his chosen filefolder, which was opened to reveal a $500 value. So what did you think?
Thank you all for making this years' show so successful. We look forward to hosting the next Strategic Partner show in 2008. 2005

... and your comments were gratefully received. It was great to see that so many of your view your relationship with O'Neil Software as "Very Strong", "Strategic" or "A Partnership". When it all was over...
2002
It was so great to meet so many of you and to see how you really utilized this wonderful networking opportunity. We would like to express our most sincere thanks to the speakers, the hotel staff at the Hyatt Newporter, our event organizers (activities, Inc.), the attendees and all the O'Neil team for making this such a successful inaugural conference. Luckily all customers 'survived' the Record Center Challenge and returned to their businesses better armed with information and contacts to tackle new challenges. We have some "challenges" to tackle also - following up on the great Conference and recent Customer Service Survey comments and suggestions. You certainly have some great ideas that will ensure O'Neil Strategic Partners stay the Number One group of Commercial Records Managers WORLDWIDE. Yes, you read that right, you are the largest group in the world. Don't take my word for it, check out the numbers below. I would also like to thank all of you who took part in the Survey and the Conference for making July and August such great learning and interactive months for us. How are we doing? We asked and you told us how we have been performing over the last 18 months. More than 150 of you took the time to respond to our questionnaire, which was hosted by Key Survey - an independent, professional research company. We will be taking some time over the coming months to examine closely all your comments and suggestions and to improve on areas that you feel we can do better. The quantities were recalculated after the removal of duplicate company entries and accounted for 123 Companies using O'Neil Software - only 24% of the companies who use our software. Over 80% of those reported using RS-SQL compared to RSWin and not all respondents reported their numbers of items managed but the one's who did gave us some exciting numbers. Compare them to Iron Mountain's reported* 180 million containers and imagine the numbers if all O’Neil Users had responded and were working more closely together, such as at the recent Strategic Partner Conference:
No other Record Management Software Company can even come close to these numbers making O'Neil Software Strategic Partners the Largest Commercial Records Management Group WORLDWIDE. * Reported by Lehman Brothers, July 2002 |
The O'Neil Strategic Partner Conference has rapidly become one of the most highly anticipated and enthusiastically attended events on the Commercial Records Storage & Management Calendar. Held every 18 months, hosted by the company and open to all our valued customers, this venue creates a unique networking, team-building and educational opportunity in a relaxed, resort and fun environment.
WOW!! What can I say. You guys blew us away. This is the 5th Strategic Partner Conference and your enthusiasm made it the best yet. Not only did we see some of the funniest antics in the Record Center Challenge but the networking interaction was simply awesome.
Did you miss the fourth Strategic Partner Conference at the Hyatt Regency in Huntington Beach, California on March 14 - 16, 2007? This years Conference was undoubtedly the best yet as we continue to learn from your feedback.
It was an opportunity to mix business with pleasure; learning and letting loose; visiting with O'Neil Support Team members and networking with peers; vying for "bragging rights" to the Record Center Challenge or being recognized with other SP Awards at the O'Neil Software Strategic Partner Conference 2005 at the beautiful Hyatt Regency in Newport Beach. And a great time was had by all!
Our first educational speaker was the inspirational Gary Tobiczyk, who delivered an entertaining and thought provoking talk on generating new sales. Gary's demonstrated his vast industry experience, with companies such as Pierce Leahy, and openly shared his knowledge with the eager audience. Over the 2 days, customers were exposed to 7 customer speakers and 12 info-break presentations. The info-breaks proved to be one of the most popular parts of the conference, giving attendees the opportunity to learn more about the software they already own and new features being introduced. Wireless communications, wireless receipt printing and signature capture proved to be of great interest to everyone. The info-breaks also allowed attendees to spend time with our Strategic Vendor Partners, who demonstrated how they add value to an existing O'Neil Software purchase.
Well many of you came, saw and conquered the Record Center Challenge, except the boats that went the wrong way around the harbor...but that's a long story.
