Mission Statement - 2009
Benefits of Membership
The purpose
of CAMUS is to provide a forum for companies using
manufacturing computer applications (MANMAN, MK,
other ERP software) to exchange and share
information through educational events, to
establish mutual support and peer contacts, and to
provide a knowledge base of products and services
available from associated suppliers in the interest
of all members.
CAMUS provides opportunities for users to interact with, learn from, and discuss issues of common interest with each other. CAMUS partners with the APICS organization which educates and sets industry standards worldwide.
CAMUS supports the growing globalization of our manufacturing organizations whose sites around the world include the Americas, Europe, Australia, and the Pacific Rim. Our virtual format promotes environmental stewardship, and we provide topics to improve business processes for ‘green’ sustainability through technology and supply chain means.
CAMUS and its Board of Directors will continue to encourage ‘Users Helping Users’.

So, why should you join CAMUS? It is all about
Users Helping Users!
If you are a MANMAN user, you may feel somewhat alone when looking for an answer to a question (or often an error message!), or looking for a solution to a business need that would involve modifying MANMAN or enhancing it with an add-on product or service.
Well, CAMUS members are here to help! We have new users, experienced users, IT users, non-IT users, and we also have a number of members who are 3rd party solution providers. We pride ourselves with how quickly and effectively we respond to other users’ MANMAN questions. And these questions need not be restricted to MANMAN/MFG/OMAR/AP/GL or other modules. You can get answers to the many 3rd party add-on modules that are out there. IT users can get answers to programming and system-related questions.
The easiest way to get an answer to a MANMAN question is to sign up with our free email list server. Then send an email with your question to a single email address, which will be received by over 300 MANMAN users. Typically, you will see several responses the very same day!
CAMUS sends out to its members a quarterly free newsletter called The Flash, which contains news about MANMAN, helpful articles, and 3rd party solution ads.
CAMUS also holds two Virtual (webinars-type) user group meetings each year. These “VRUG” meetings are free and feature both a roundtable discussion from our members, as well as a presentation of topics, usually by a couple of 3rd party solution members.
In the CAMUS website there is a members’ only section where you will find a library of white papers, articles, presentations, newsletters, and other materials. You will also find a place where your company can post MANMAN-related positions or job-seekers (with MANMAN experience) can post their resumes.
Access to the members’ only section of the website does require membership, which is a mere $200/year/site for regular members (users of MANMAN) and $300/year for associate members (3rd party solution providers). However, other sections of the website are free, as are the list server, newsletter, and VRUG meetings.
Being a member of CAMUS affords you a unique opportunity to learn from other MANMAN users. You will have the opportunity to make contact with 3rd party solution providers and learn about numerous add-on products and services that enhance MANMAN and prolong its life. You will also have the opportunity to get to know Infor, the company that now owns MANMAN. Finally, if your company is looking to migrate from MANMAN to another ERP, we have a number of members who are in that process.
CAMUS is run by an all-volunteer group of regular and associate users. We all have regular jobs, which all involve MANMAN, and so we know the value of being able to ask and get answers to MANMAN questions! We are committed to helping you and to provide a forum where users can help users. It is what we are all about.
If you have any questions about joining CAMUS or about the benefits of membership, please feel free to contact me!
