- Dealing with Legacy Code!
Greg JonesCongratulations! You are a manager at a new company and you inherited decades of old QAD code to support along with dozens of priority # 1 change requests. And by the way, QAD really, really wants you to move to the cloud. Now what?
In this session, Greg Jones will show you how, with a little forethought, planning, and elbow-grease, you can leverage Progress’ Log Manager and QAD’s user workfile to address multiple pressures all at once. You can see what code is *really* doing, improve code quality during development and testing, and document business rules as they’re actually used by your company. And you can troubleshoot production issues by enabling or disabling advanced logging, changing the level of logging detail, and a slew of other useful things.
Join Greg for a practical look at reining in your customizations using tools you already have!

- Why’s The New System So Much Slower? Figuring Out Performance In The Cloud Or On-Premise
Nectar DaloglouYou’ve migrated to bigger better stronger faster hardware but your QAD environment is running slower. Or you’ve upgrade to the cloud and things are slower than before. How’s that even possible? In this session, we will look at some real-life case scenarios where performance actually decreased in the new environment. We’ll show how we tested and what corrections were needed in order to achieve better performance. Whether you’re purchasing new hardware or migrating to the cloud, you can get a head start on boosting performance.

- AUX From The Inside Out
Jeff SteeleYou've been running QAD for a lo-o-ong time and know the insides and infrastructure like the back of your hand. QAD's AUX is the next generation of user interface and looks like it offers some pretty interesting things. But how does it really work? The salesperson's "it's in the cloud... trust me!" doesn't fill you with confidence and frankly, isn't an answer you want to offer to your boss and your end users! What's really going on? How does everything communicate? Where did everything go? What should you pay attention to and what can you ignore? Yes, it's cloud-based which means less work for you, but you'll still need to understand how everything fits together so you can explain it to the rest of your company.
In this session, Jeff Steele will lift the covers on AUX to show you how things have transitioned from Net UI to AUX... what's new, what's important, where the moving parts are, and how it all fits together. He’ll also point out some of the new features you should plan on taking advantage of. You'll leave this session with a better understanding of what your life will be like with when you upgrade to AUX.

- Optimizing MRO Spend with Improved Stock Replenishment and Price Lists
Nancy Majure•Mallory BuckThere are two statements which are the bane of a storeroom manager's life: "Production is down because the storeroom is out of the part I need" and "You have to get control of this MRO spend!"
These seemingly conflicting goals can lead to a constant cycle of overstocking to ensure that spare parts are always there when needed and then suddenly understocking to save costs. Nighmare? It doesn't have to be! You can be the hero by satisfying both goals when you optimize your MRO with improved Stock Replenishment coupled with new Price List features. Come see how you can use EAM to make your storeroom life much better.Nancy Majure

- QAD Process Intelligence and EAM Plant Maintenance
Mallory BuckSure, everyone has documented processes, right? But how do you know that those processes are being followed? Where are bottlenecks? Where have processes mutated to get around obstacles so that the job can just get done? How do you know if you even have the RIGHT proceses? And, what can you do about it anyway? Well, ask yourself these questions no more!
