Awesome Add-on Awards
Tuesday, November 10: 11:00-11:45 am

As you develop your consulting practice, it is important to identify the best-of-breed products that help you solve client issues. With the growing number of add-on solutions in the marketplace, it gets more diffi cult to stay up-to-date on which products are worth your focus. In addition to developing great solutions, some vendors havecreated VAR programs that open new opportunities for consultants. Each year, The Sleeter Group reviews dozens of add-on solutions, from which we pick the standout products that deserve your consideration as you implement solutions for your clients. A few of these solution providers earn our "Awesome Add-on Award" each year. Come and hear from Doug Sleeter about why these solutions were selected, as Doug presents these annual awards.
