Corcentric Holds Inaugural Users Group Meeting at
the AmeriQuest Symposium
1888PressRelease - COR360 customers gather at the
Symposium to network, share insights, and hear
renowned speakers discuss the latest developments
in technology. CHERRY HILL, NJ, - For the first
time, Corcentric customers gathered together to
share their experiences and ideas. The meeting
took place at the AmeriQuest Symposium in
Orlando, FL, where Corcentric customers joined
nearly 300 executives from around the country for
two days of thought-provoking sessions covering
topics including innovation, technology,
generational strengths, cyber security, and the
economy. "This year's Symposium was
transformational for attendees, as it brought
together a powerful lineup of visionaries to
challenge and explore the most pressing topics
facing business today," said Kate Freer, Vice
President of Marketing for Corcentric. The
Symposium, which took place in February at the
Ritz-Carlton Orlando Grande Lakes, opened with a
keynote address by well-known futurist Jim
Carroll, who gave a frank assessment of where
technology is taking the world. "Change is
happening faster than ever before," he said,
noting that successful companies will be those
that define themselves by agility and the
willingness to change. He was followed on the
podium by Theresa Payton, a former White House
CIO and respected cyber-security expert. "Your
business is going to get hacked," she bluntly
told the audience. "Companies which have a
detailed plan in place for dealing with that
reality are those which will be the most
successful."
The second day opened with renowned business
advisor Ram Charan, who spoke on the future of
business in a global and connected economy. The
old business models that companies built upon are
gone, he told the audience. He listed things a
company must master to be truly digital,
including digitization mobile technology

machine-to-machine learning and the use of cloud
computing.
