Is this Forum what users want??

Hi Everyone I echo Keith’s comment that Pharsight did what we as users asked them to do - put up this forum to promote communications both between users and between users and Pharsight - Thanks. However … it doesn’t seem to have attracted a lot of interest !! Does this mean that it doesn’t meet our needs? If not, what do we need to do to make it work. Do you want to have another discussion on this topic at the user meeting in September (if you are attending or not?) Regards Clive

Hi Clive, thanks for raising this here, however perhaps being the summer months I don’t see that you have had a reply. I really believe a strong user community will benefit the users and Pharsight and would like to hear comments as to what you need to make this forum (or some other medium) useful. On another note - I know some of you have started to look at PKS 4 and Phoenix WinNonlin 6. How are you getting on with that - do you need any assistance from Pharsight? One thing that may useful to those attending the UGM is that we will have a one day course on Phoenix the day before in Philly. Transitioning to WinNonlin v6.0: 29 Sept, Philadelphia, PA. USA. - you can of course find more details and sign up at the link below.

Clive, Well, I am glad Pharsight put this in place, but I only found out about it today (5-Oct-09) so it may not be a case of people not wanting it, but more of one that the message that it was available was not delivered to a wide enough audience. I mean, there is not even a link to the Extranet on the Pharsight main page, much less a mention of a forum. I would think the presence of a forum would be front and center on the website and a static link on most main pages. I just heard about this from Doug our rep to the user’s group meeting, I am hopeful the message gets out and that more people come to visit. I will make sure the people at Lilly know about it. Dave
