ST. PAUL, Minn.—January 18, 2007—Kinetic Data, the leading provider of third-party business service management (BSM) tools for the BMC® Remedy® platform, today announced they will sponsor and host the North Central Remedy User Group (NCRUG) event taking place in St. Paul, Minn., January 19, 2007 in the Argon room at St. Paul’s Science Museum of Minnesota.
“The NCRUG continues to grow in size and popularity as more and more organizations adopt BMC’s Remedy platform, and experienced users recognize the value of collaborative user education,” said Colin Miller, NCRUG coordinator and Remedy developer for Minneapolis-based General Mills. “On behalf of the group, I’d like to thank Kinetic Data for sponsoring and hosting this event, and for their continued support of the BMC Remedy user community.”
The NCRUG is an independent organization comprised of BMC Remedy software users from the North Central United States.

Attendees will include General Mills, 3M, ECOLAB, Cargill, Mayo Clinic and others. Kinetic Data will present its open source product - Kinetic Link - to the expected group of 50 attendees, many of whom are existing Kinetic Data customers.
