Hey everyone, TGIF! Anyone who has worked through or is working through a multi-instance enterprise - either merging instances or effectively managing multiple instances - as a result of a merger or acquisition or internal consolidation - I would like to host a "Meetup" at LEAP. Please let me know if you're interested in discussing these pro's and con's with your peers and sharing tips and tricks for doing it right!

Dan -- this doesn't apply to me... but being part of 10+ instance Enterprise I'd like to be a proverbial fly on the wall. If it helps I was part of a merge between two instances a few years... John Seitz ESPN John.W.Seitz@disney.com

I'm interested to hear how others are managing this scenario. While we had another department join our instance a year ago and the crossover was minimal, they've already moved on their own instance. However, we were always wary about global settings and how to tackle any global change with kid's gloves. We would be joined by a new team soon and would want to ask the new team to be on group admins instead but it does not seem to be an easy conversation. Polly Co

Hi, One of our business units is planning to use Workfront. We are wondering if we should share our instance with them or ask them to get their own. If we do share our instance, it will be essentialto separate our projects from theirs. If this meeting could help us, then count me in. Thanks, Dominique Blanchette Olympus OSSA

We are actively trying to implement a new area/department at Harvard into our instance - a bit challenging - but we are getting there. I would be interested in meeting as well. Please keep us informed as to where and when! Teri Chisholm Teri Chisholm Harvard Alumni Affairs and Development

Plan to grab lunch early or bring lunch with you!! We will not serve food at this MeetUp. Helping to host and present will be Doug Den Hoed, Founder, CEO and overall guru at AtApp Store, a respected and experienced Workfront partner with experience in this area. We'll also have some members of Workfront Product teams to help us as well. Any questions or suggestions, feel free to call me or email me directly! I can't wait to see you all at LEAP!
