CUSP Point Software Blog

Susan, LouAnn and I returned this week from a great three days in sunny Newport Beach, CA.  As usual O’Neil put on a great conference for their Strategic Partners.  We saw many familiar faces from last year’s event and the several PRISM events we have participated in over the past 12 months or so. 

There was a very nice cocktail reception Wednesday night sponsored by CUSP.  The sessions ran Thursday and Friday with the vendor showcase running during breaks.

This conference brought together Records Storage Company executives from all over the world that currently utilize the O’Neil Solutions as part of their day-to-day operations.  Our discussions with the attendees revolved mainly around the most common business Use Cases for our PaperTrail on-demand EDM Solution for the records storage industry. These are namely, on-demand scanning and retrieval from PaperTrail for customers requesting documents for immediate viewing, and the scanning of new documents coming into the record storage center to provide their customers immediate access at anytime from any place to those papers. 

And in line with the types of comments we received at the recent PRISM event in Hungary, we had several discussions with attendees on the growing concerns of compliance pertaining to document storage.  The SaaS platform adds multiple levels of security for proprietary documents that are probably not available in the physical record storage.  It is becoming clear that the whole idea of Solutions like CUSP’s are becoming the standard.

To match this continued interest in our Solution we have been successful in signing new VAR Partner agreements with several Record Storage companies. The soon-to-be released integration of PaperTrail with the O’Neil Solution will further enhance our position in this space.

I would be remiss if I didn’t bring up the great charitable contributions made by many visitors to the Share Our Strength – No Kid Hungry charity.  CUSP donated a VIP golfing trip for two to Ireland that was purchased for $4,000 in the silent auction. The final amount raised was a staggering $23,006.81

Thursday afternoon brought the second annual Record Center Challenge consisting of six teams of around 14 members  who participated in fun tasks such as a “cook off” Iron Chef style, and  a “Survivor” type running and paddling test  at the excellent Newport Beach venue (I must mention that I was part of event-winning TEAM GREEN by the way). 

All in all it was great fun and for a superb charity, and everyone had a blast.  I want to thank O’Neil for putting on the conference, for inviting us and for their great hospitality.  We are really looking forward to our continued partnership.
