Welcome to the
Alvaria User Group
Overview
The Alvaria User Group is a free organisation dedicated to enhancing the user experience through the exchange of information between members, as well as through partnerships with Alvaria and its business partners.
The user group is an independent group of Alvaria customers with the goal of helping each other further our knowledge of Alvaria products and stay on top of current contact centre trends.
We strive to:
- Provide value-added services to Alvaria User Group members and the entire Alvaria user community
- Create a forum where members may share successes, issues, and concerns not only among themselves, but with Alvaria
- Provide an environment for accurate and timely dissemination of information about Alvaria and their Business Partners' products and services
- Provide a channel for members to receive important information regarding changes in the industry
- Influence the direction of the products and services offered by Alvaria for the benefit of the user community
Member Benefits
There are many benefits of joining the Alvaria User Group, such as:
- Full access to the online Alvaria User Group member space, including an open forum where Alvaria customers can share questions, thoughts, ideas and experiences. If you're having an issue you're trying to solve, chances are someone else has had the same issue!
- A worldwide community for online and in-person networking opportunities and exchange of ideas.
- Access to sponsored webinars on topics of special interest to professionals who share many of the same challenges.

Membership Eligibility
Eligibility for membership is available to current, past, and future users of Alvaria products and services. The Alvaria User Group focuses on furthering the knowledge of our members, the user group is not a sales forum for member companies. We encourage every user of an Alvaria product to join and get active in the Alvaria User Group.
- Get involved and share ideas
- Meet other users and attend local events
- Participate in the online community
Every day brings new opportunities for employees to go above and beyond to resolve a customer's issue, help a teammate, solve a difficult challenge or find new ways to make your organisation a better place to work. That's why the Alvaria User Group created the GEM Award Programme—to recognise and reward individuals who use an Alvaria solution to turn good customer interactions into exceptional experiences.
2022 nominations will open soon.
