We just got back from Reliability Web’s RCM/EAM/M-Train 2009 conference in sunny Daytona Beach.  This was the public revealing of NextUp so we were nervous yet confident about what the reaction to us would be.  I’m glad to report that the nerves were unnecessary as the response was overwhelmingly positive.  Everyone we spoked to agreed that their is absolutely, positively a need for NextUp.  Furthermore, everyone who saw the demo of our knowledge/skill/ability approach to matching was amazed by the ease and simplicity of the model.  All in all, some great affirmation that NextUp will be a valuable resource for both professionals and companies.

In other notes, we want to thank Terry and Bill for all the support they provided at the show.  Both were great at introducing us to people and sending others are way.Their help and assistance during our start up process has been greatly appreciated and are pleased to be working with them as they are truly advocates for the industry.  We are already looking forward to the IMC show in November.

Lastly, we want to congratulate our friends at Allied and General Physics on the announcement of their joint venture.  They had a fantastic presence at the show and the champagne toast for the announcement was a wonderful way to introduce the company to the industry.  We are looking forward to working with them on any placement needs they might have as they grow what is sure to be a very successful company.
