The next IBM TRIRIGA UK & Ireland (UKI) User Group meeting is coming up on Tuesday, May 9, 2017! Save the date with these agenda and registration links.
Once again, it will be at the IBM Southbank offices (although the User Group committee is hoping to spread their wings for the autumn meeting). In a big step forward, we will be joining up with our colleagues at the Maximo User Group for the keynote address. Bringing the two groups together will allow us to share a high-profile keynote speaker, and then break out into our own sessions for both TRIRIGA and Maximo. Of course, you then have a great opportunity to mingle with the Maximo delegates over coffee and lunch.
The User Group committee will be trying something fresh, namely one breakout stream will be a Q&A around WebSphere. Designed more for technical support staff, this will be a chance to meet an expert and raise your questions in an informal environment. There will be a newsletter sent out soon. So, why not register now and get further details in the newsletter? We hope you will join this great community and hope to see you at the meeting in Southbank on May 9th!
Why does Outlook add-in connect to server when opening meeting?
When opening any meeting in the Microsoft Outlook calendar, the TRIRIGA Reserve Outlook add-in will connect to the TRIRIGA server and send a small package.
This happens regardless of whether the meeting was created with the TRIRIGA add-in or not. When opening an appointment (which has no participants, in contrast to a meeting), there is no connection to the TRIRIGA server. It can be reproduced by opening Fiddler, opening Outlook, and then opening any item in the calendar that has participants (i.e. a meeting).
The consequence of this is that a session is opened for the user on the TRIRIGA server, taking up capacity on the server, thereby reducing the number of real users that the system can support. Has anyone else noticed this behavior? Can it be changed through configuration?
When it comes to talking about cost reduction in terms of space on university campuses, we really need to focus on two primary elements that can provide us with opportunities for reducing costs. The first strategy is to maximize the capacity of your existing space portfolio, and second would be increasing the utilization of the spaces that you already have in your physical space inventory.
Universities often struggle to absorb the intake of new students, partly because of a drastic shortage of teaching space. At least, this is the picture universities themselves paint. However, is this really the case? Or could the problem be eased significantly by optimising the occupancy of the available space and facilities? In practice, a real estate manager or building owner can resolve three problems by making the best possible use of space.
There is a user group meeting coming up on Tuesday, November 29, 2016 at the IBM Southbank offices. The agenda includes a case study by Marks & Spencer, the TRIRIGA roadmap, and other sessions you don't want to miss! The link to register and view the full agenda is here. We hope you will join this great community and hope to see you at the meeting in Southbank on the 29th!
After meeting last year on the East Coast, Building Operating Management's National Facilities Management & Technology Conference and Exhibition returns to Las Vegas. The facility management industry's premiere West Coast educational event is back at the Mirage Events Center with more than 70 educational sessions, bonus in-depth workshops, and more than 60,000 square feet of new products and solutions on display.
The NFMT Las Vegas exhibit hall also has main-stage presentations to complement the many exhibits, demonstrations, and hands-on displays of products and solutions… While the conference sessions and exhibition are free to attend (Nov. 1-2), the four-hour workshops on Monday, Oct. 31, require an additional fee… For free registration or for more information on sessions and workshops, go to www.nfmt.com/vegas.
Are you interested in presenting at TRIMAX 2016 in October?
The deadline to submit your TRIMax abstracts has been extended to Friday, June 10. Nominations should be sent to Tina Scott (tinas@us.ibm.com) no later than Friday, June 10 at 5:00 pm Eastern Time. Let us know if you have any questions. We look forward to seeing you at TRIMax 2016!
TRIMax User Group is the only combined TRIRIGA and Maximo User Group. This conference provides a forum where participants can share knowledge and learn from other TRIRIGA and Maximo clients, business partners, and IBMers. Attendees can expect to hear client use cases along with product updates and roadmap sessions. Additionally, many of IBM's valued partners will be available to discuss how to maximize your investment in these solutions.
Last year, we had nearly 350 attendees, over 46 presentations of product and technical information, customer panels and use cases, and business partner presentations. This year, we're expecting 500+ attendees, with even more presentations, to be run in several tracks, plus certification and training options. Make sure you block your calendar and look for more information soon. Please visit the TRIMax User Group website for additional details. Contact Liz Ruana (Liz.Ruana@trmnet.com) or Tina Scott (tinas@us.ibm.com) with any questions.
