North American Systems International And FalconStor Software Announce The Formation Of A New Midwest User Group

Bloomington, MN, November 30th, 2006 - North American Systems International, a provider of information technology solutions, is pleased to announce the formation of a user group for FalconStor end users in the Midwest area. The FalconStor IPStor Midwest User Group (iMUG) will be an open forum for FalconStor users to ask and answer questions, share tips, voice concerns, and stay in the loop on new version and patch releases. This will also be a medium for interaction with the software manufacturer and enable members to be heard as a group.
“North American Systems has really stepped up to provide FalconStor end users with a great way to share best practices and address issues and concerns, leading to an enhanced end user experience for our customers,” said Chris Poelker, Vice President of FalconStor Software.
“The development and initial sponsorship of this user group was motivated by our commitment to support what we believe to be superior IT solutions,” said John Bettenburg, Vice President of North American Systems, “FalconStor provides a best-of-breed storage virtualization product at a great value.”
Although North American Systems will be providing the initial setup and sponsorship of the user group and website, their aim is to grow the organization into a self-supporting community of end-users. North American Systems plans to host a user group kick-off event on December 12th, and invite FalconStor end-users in the Midwest area.
