Lawson Software Announces Virtual User Event

SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Apr. 22, 2009-- As Lawson Software (Nasdaq: LWSN) wraps up the 2009 Lawson Conference and User Exchange (CUE) in San Diego, the company announced it is finalizing a new virtual event that connects Lawson with its customers. The Lawson Virtual User Event (VUE) is a new offering, developed in response to a growing need for low-cost, high-value options for Lawson customers to get the most out of their Lawson enterprise software systems. Lawson VUE, which will be made available in May 2009, will include a series of videos delivered online that present product information, learning opportunities and online interaction with Lawson.

Lawson VUE will first be made available to Lawson customers that use the Lawson S3 Enterprise Management System. Lawson VUE includes 25 pre-produced video and 75 audio presentations on how to use Lawson products, Lawson product news, product demonstrations and Lawson industry updates. The videos are typically ten minutes or less in length, which makes them easy to consume while still providing relevant content to help customers extract greater value from their Lawson enterprise software system. In addition, Lawson VUE will include a virtual exhibit hall, giving attendees the opportunity to interact with more than 40 event sponsors.

“Our customers, like almost all businesses today, are facing tighter budgets for travel and learning, but they still need content that helps them and others in their organization become more effective when using Lawson applications,” said Kim Ross, director of marketing communications for Lawson. “By creating this virtual event, we’re providing information our customers want and need, delivered directly to their desktop, with informative presentations and interactive experiences that can help our customers become stronger.”

In addition to access to Lawson presentations and Lawson product experts, Lawson customers that participate in the virtual event will receive a discount on registration for the live Lawson CUE event in 2010. More information about the new Lawson VUE offering is available at www.cueinfo.com/vue09.
