User Forum Facilitates Collaboration Among CygNet Software's Oil And Gas Customers

CygNet's Board of Customer Advisors Creates Sharing and Collaboration Resource for Entire User Community

San Luis Obispo, CA -(Marketwire) - CygNet Software, provider of the leading enterprise operations platform for the oil and gas industry, today announced the launch of the CygNet User Group (CUG) Forum, an online resource for CygNet customers. Created by CygNet's Board of Customer Advisors (BoCA), the CUG Forum is another way customers benefit from CygNet's dedication to meeting the strategic and tactical needs of companies in the dynamic oil and gas industry.

Designed exclusively for CygNet customers, the CUG Forum will provide an environment to promote collaboration by posting questions, tips and tricks, script/screen samples, product ideas, and minutes from the BoCA meetings. CygNet developers along with support and services staff will monitor the forum and post suggestions as well as other content of value to users. CygNet will also track product ideas and other comments as part of CygNet's comprehensive strategy to ensure the company's products and services remain in line with the evolving requirements of its customers.

"The customer advisory board has been extremely effective at ensuring the customer perspective is heard at the highest levels within CygNet," said Chris Smith, chief executive officer of CygNet Software. "Our vision for the CygNet BoCA has always been to extend its benefits to all customers through a forum designed for sharing and collaboration. The CygNet User Group Forum is the next logical step, making it easier to share the results of BoCA meetings with the entire customer base while providing a place where users can share what they know and get their questions answered. The BoCA has already provided vital input on the foundation for much of what we are planning in our release schedule, and the new CUG Forum means we now have an effective channel for hearing about the needs of every customer."
