About the P21WWUG
As Sam Snow, CEO of TJ Snow and President of the P21WWUG puts it “The user group is an independent organization from Epicor. We are a bunch of users who are using the Profit 21 software and encouraging each other to use it better and be more successful with the software. In addition, we encourage Epicor to serve us better.”
“We do that through a couple of things,” he continues, “We have online forums where people are able to discuss the software. We conduct webinars throughout the year that do training. We do a user conference and we can talk about that more and then we also encourage local groups to that uh that again meet and talk about the Profit 21 software.”
See you there!
We’re excited to see you at the P21WWUG Connect 2024 – it’ll be our eighth year being associated with the event. For those who will be joining us in the celebrations after, we look forward to hosting you!
