secuTrial® | User Group Meeting

Continuous dialogue with our customers.

Regular user group meetings serve as a platform for users and developers to continuously develop and refine the functions offered by secuTrial® by consolidating customer requirements and feedback.

The user group meetings provide the foundation for planning a long-term product development concept and allow our customers to influence future developments. A transparent planning basis for future projects is the result for our customers and for us.

Exchanging experiences with other users is an important part of our user group meetings, with plenty of opportunities arising during discussions, over coffee or through expert presentations on different practical uses and application-related aspects of secuTrial®.
