The CMS Users Group, Inc. is an international virtual community of ADERANT Expert users. This not-for-profit corporation began in 1997 as an independent internet listserv in an effort to provide support and share information among its members.

The CMS Users Group, Inc. website (www.cmsusers.org) offers its members two primary services: information sharing and enhancement representation through the CMS Users Group Enhancement Subcommittee (CUGES). All members can share information by adding new discussions to find information about a current business topic or by searching old discussions for information on questions previously asked and answered by members.

CUGES is made up of an international subset of ADERANT users and ADERANT product managers who work together to compile and prioritize enhancement requests that are submitted by the user community. Many requested enhancements are added to ADERANT Expert at each general release as a direct result of this process.

Other noteworthy listserv services are white papers provided by consultants on business topics, classifieds, regional group sections, news and announcements, and third party solution providers.
