AssessTech, the UK railway’s leading provider of electronic competence management solutions, held their annual user forum on 18th November near Euston Station and had a fantastic turnout of 80 physical attendees and 20 individuals joining them online from across the world. A truly interactive hybrid event the focus of the event was on exploring new ways to better integrate their solutions, both internally and externally across the railway.
With individuals representing safety, operations, compliance, learning and development, standards and competence functions from organisations such as Great Western Railway, Govia Thameslink Railway, Eurostar, Heathrow Rail, Avanti West Coast, Greater Anglia, and Grand Central Rail, to name a few, the event was highly engaging and provided the audience with a platform to discuss challenges facing the industry and their organisation and how AssessTech’s electronic competence management platform could help.
Gabriel Stroud, CEO of AssessTech said, “We have built a community of 40 organisations from across the UK, Europe, Australia and the Middle East and our User Forum is a perfect place for our customers to get together to share current challenges and opportunities and to help us shape our technology to meet their requirements.
“It was fantastic to see so many of our customers and partners RSSB and 3DVSL at this year’s event, both online and in person.
“As an industry I think we have all missed that personal interaction and the User Forum was a great opportunity to bring everyone back together again. It was great to find out what customers thought about our current developments and our future roadmap. We’ve come away with a very long list of things to do which will keep us busy for the foreseeable future.”
Justin Willet, Professional Head of Operations at Govia Thameslink Railway (GTR) who attended the user forum in person said, “It has been great to get everyone together from across the industry in one room. It has been really interesting to hear how others are using AssessTech’s electronic competence management platform ACMS and their learning management solution AssessBook, the challenges these organisations have faced and the solutions they have adopted to overcome them.”
