Welcome to Infor FM Connections

Chris Murphy
SVP, Sales
Financial Management

We listened to your feedback and designed our new FM Connections
to make it easy for you to connect with your peers and participate in
tailored educational tracks that are relevant to your particular industry
and product area. Inforum 2008 will have fewer general sessions, a
greater focus on specific solutions to business challenges, and more opportunities to network with others.

Get ready to get out there, because here's a sampling of what you can expect:

Product strategy and roadmaps specific to your solution or industry
Dynamic keynote address by a recognized thought leader
Networking with peers using the same products in the same industries
In-depth learning on solutions most relevant to your specific business pursuits
New products to extend your software investment and meet your specific business challenges
Industry, solution, and product experts
Infor Partners presenting innovative technology solutions
Lab-based product training

Your FM Connections tailored conference agenda will assist you in planning your time to best benefit your needs and interest. FM Connections will give you the best of both worlds—the flexibility to attend activities that will help you to get the most of your current solutions—with the added value of exploring new solutions to extend your enterprise to meet your future business challenges.

Check back often as we continue to roll out the agenda and provide you with detailed information about the FM Connections educational sessions. We promise it will be worth it.

P.S. Stay tuned for our big announcement about our exciting headline entertainment. It promises to be a wonderful event.

FM Connections opening general session

Start your Inforum 2008 experience off with a bang by sitting front row and center during the FM Connections keynote address on Tuesday, Oct. 14th. This opening general session will bring together all of our Financial Management and Performance Management customers.

Featured keynote speaker
Lynn Brewer, author, Confessions of an Enron Executive: A Whistleblower's Story

Lynn Brewer retells the riveting account of her career at Enron, her decision to blow the whistle, and her fateful meeting with Ken Lay—just two weeks before his untimely death. In her nearly three years at Enron, she was responsible for risk management in energy operations, the ecommerce initiatives for Enron's water subsidiary, traded power in the California markets, and oversaw competitive intelligence for Enron Broadband Services. During her tenure she witnessed numerous instances of illegal and corrupt dealings, including bank fraud, espionage, power price manipulation, and the gross overstatements to the press, public, and financial world. Lynn will bring her knowledge and insight into the areas of risk and compliance that continue to challenge financial executives.
