On October 30, Spire hosted its open house at White Oaks Resort & Spa in Niagara-on-the-Lake, one of seven held across Canada this fall.
(An aside before we get to the software: the amenities were great. The food was healthy, there was plenty of variety, and it stayed fresh all day long.)
One room, every level of experience
An event like this has a real challenge to solve: appealing to people with very different levels of experience with Spire. Some of the attendees moved over from BusinessVision as soon as Spire started. Others are running Sage 50 and had never seen Spire in action before.
Katie Griffin from Spire did a good job of serving both groups, covering the fundamentals for the newcomers while working in tips and tricks for the veterans.
A look at Spire 4
Katie also highlighted a lot of the new features in Spire Version 4. We summarized some of them in our overview of Spire 4.0, and we will report on more of them in upcoming posts.
The best part
For us, the best part of the day was simply getting together and chatting with clients and other Spire users in person.
Keep an eye out for next year's open house. We heartily recommend it.
