If you're in the Seattle area, please join us THIS Thursday, Dec 7th
for our annual Christmas Gala with fabulous door prizes, 2007 SAPUG
Board elections, and sessions with:

Rick Davies, Vice President of Customer Service-Major Accounts for
Raining Data, coordinates technical and customer satisfaction issues
with our largest customers. Rick has been working with the Pick
environment since 1976, first writing a wide variety of applications
for a company that was a very early Pick System user. Rick began his
career at Raining Data, formerly Pick Systems, 20 years ago in MIS then
moving to sales support, then to phone support. In the technical
support department, Rick's commitment to customer service excellence
moved him from domestic manager of technical support to the customer
service director where he oversaw the company's domestic and
international customer service and technical support program. Rick's
knowledge of Raining Data's products and services as well as his long
standing relationship with our customers, enhances Raining Data's
ability to provide a responsive customer focused support organization.

Afternoon Session:
Features of D3 7.5 Workshop: Raining Data's recently released D3 7.5
product is the result of a direct collaborative effort between our
supported customers and Raining Data's product development, customer
service and quality assurance teams. In this session, Rick will explain
and demonstrate the significant enhancements, installation/upgrade
procedures and key areas of performance and functionality positively
impacted with this release.

Evening Session:
Raining Data continues to invest in improving and extending the
functionality of our products and services that thousands of businesses
rely on for mission critical applications. The release of product
updates with improved performance and solid fixes and enhancements, is
the result of the strong collaboration between Raining Data and our
valued customer base. Join us for more information about how you can
leverage the latest Raining Data technology with your vertical
