SAN JOSE, CA--(Marketwire - February 25, 2008) - Tensoft, a leading end-to-end ERP and supply
chain solution provider for the semiconductor industry, announced plans to
host its third annual FSM User Conference May 18-20, 2008 in San Francisco,
California. The exclusive customers-only event is a forum for users of
Tensoft's flagship Fabless Semiconductor Management (FSM) product and
promises to provide customers with opportunities to share best practices
with other FSM customers and learn from discussions with Tensoft
developers, designers and industry experts.
FSM customers from throughout the U.S. as well as from Asia, Europe and
Canada are drawn to this unique annual event. Featured session topics range
from vendor integration, planning and costing to how operations and finance
can perfect corporate performance before going public. Popular sessions
from past conferences will also be repeated, including a Microsoft updates
and roadmap session, and an overview of the FSM enhancements that have been
recently added.
To accommodate customers who are traveling long distances, an additional
two-day hands-on FSM training seminar will follow the User Conference.
Guided by in-house Tensoft experts, this post-conference event will train
users with hands-on practice, in-depth details and assist with
customer-specific challenges. Both introductory and advanced level tracks
will be available.
"Customers and Tensoft staffers look forward to the FSM User Conference
each year as a high point in our calendar," said Tensoft CEO Bob
Scarborough. "Customers not only learn from the intensive product sessions
and discussions about FSM's future direction, they also learn about
solutions and innovations from other FSM customers. Many of the product
features being added to the next version of FSM were ideas discussed and
suggested by customers at last year's User Conference. This unique
opportunity for customer interaction and feedback helps us keep FSM an
indispensable end-to-end semiconductor industry solution."
Customers who attended last year's User Conference are vocal about the
benefits they received. "Last year, we found it very beneficial to have
employees from our overseas facility attend the User Conference," said
Luong Thien Duong, Cost Accounting Manager for GCT Semiconductor. "They
discussed FSM-related issues and came up with mutual resolutions, which
proved to be most advantageous."
"Last year, most of the Open-Silicon operations team was at the Tensoft FSM
User Conference, so we were able to talk through and strategize how best to
use FSM to meet our internal needs. Since we didn't have any ERP system at
Open-Silicon and we just bought FSM, the User Conference helped me ramp
quickly, both on the FSM product and in my new role at Open-Silicon," said
Sadan Kumar, Senior Manager - Manufacturing Operations, Open-Silicon
Research Pvt. Ltd., Bangalore, India. "Tensoft has a great team working on
FSM with the primary motive of customer satisfaction and continuous
improvement. With their help we implemented many challenging tasks and
improved our efficiency."
Dawn Harmon, Cost & Inventory Accountant from Ramtron International
attended the post-conference hands-on FSM training in 2007. "After the User
Conference, I found the training sessions to be very helpful. I was able
to reinforce my knowledge of FSM and further enhance my FSM skills," she
said. "The sessions offered hands-on product training and FSM experts were
immediately available to answer any pending FSM-related questions."
