Ammor Data Systems Sean Kirkby How I Lost 30 Pounds Using GroupWise (Methods for Making GroupWise Indespensible to Your Users) Most people think of email when they think of GroupWise. Some think of calendars, appointments, and tasks. Fewer still think of folders or documents. But very few people ever think of life-changing productivity, or principles of health, happiness, and longevity. In this session, we examine methods of promoting and positioning GroupWise as a key enabler of productivity and happiness in the lives of its users, making it an indespensible part of the way people get things done in their work, and in their lives. As an example, the presenter will tell how GroupWise was a key to transforming him from a soft-chair slouching code jockey into a triathlete-in-training, losing 30 pounds (so far) in the process. zip
