In March 2006, System & Method International (North America) Inc participated in the Expo at the Common Conference in Minneapolis , MN . This was the official launch of System & Method International ( North America ) Inc into the North American market. The main focus at the Expo was to introduce IceBreak to the North American iSeries community.

Leif Jacobsen, General Manager of System & Method International, Denmark , was on hand to help launch the newly formed North American company along with Jim Cooper, President, System & Method International ( North America ) Inc. Since IceBreak is a development tool aimed at technical specialists, Niels Liisberg from Agent Data also participated at the conference. Niels, the main developer of IceBreak, has an in depth knowledge of software design and application development and can discuss all aspects of programming issues.

The main focus at the Common Conference was to launch the new Web development product called IceBreak, but System & Method International also markets a suite of products under the brand names BlueSeries and FormSphere (InterForm).

We benefited from Jim Cooper's network of IBMers, System i5/iSeries experts and industry leaders. Jim convinced many of his contacts, including many IBMers from marketing, sales, development and education to visit the System & Method booth and get a demonstration of IceBreak. In addition, there were an overwhelming number of visitors from end-users and independent System i5/iSeries experts to journalists and marketing people.

Everybody showed great interest in IceBreak, and we are confident that IBM will embrace the product.

Europe also has a Common Conference which takes place from June 11 to 13, 2006 .

System & Method International will have a booth in the Expo area, and will also host a session on Sunday from 15.00 to 16.00.

It would be a pleasure to meet you and your clients at the Common Conference in Stockholm .

In January, the iSeries Magazine called Agent Data in Denmark for support on a fax installation. The call was made to Denmark during U.S. working hours, which meant late evening in Denmark . Regardless, they received excellent support from Bent Rønne , and for that he won the award. The award was presented at the IBM's System Magazine event at the Spring 2006 COMMON Conference.
