Greetings, friends and colleagues of the Plex/2E User Community!
The Plex/2E Worldwide User Community has long been a vital resource—connecting users, enabling knowledge sharing, and helping us all maximize our investment in these powerful tools.
Together, we've built not only applications but also a legacy.
And now, I'm asking you for five minutes of your time in exchange for a $5 gift card (details and link below), so we can make the community even better.
Many of us remember the early days of Plex and 2E, back when SYNON led the way in application development. We were pioneers, leveraging cutting-edge technology to build robust, scalable applications that continue to serve our businesses today. We recall the transitions—from SYNON to Sterling Software, then to Computer Associates (CA). With each acquisition raising questions about the future. And yet, CA surprised us by supporting and enhancing these tools for nearly two decades.
Now, with Broadcom's acquisition of CA, we find ourselves at another crossroads. While base-level support continues, it's becoming increasingly clear that the long-term future of Plex and 2E is uncertain.
This uncertainty compels us to plan proactively. It would be unrealistic to expect Plex and 2E to outlive the mission-critical applications we've built with them. These tools have served us well—generating billions of lines of code—but we must now begin preparing for a future beyond them.
Rewriting or replatforming these applications is no small task. It will require thoughtful planning, substantial effort, and a deep understanding of our current systems. The good news is: you’re not alone.
No matter the path your organization is on—whether continuing with Plex/2E in the short term or beginning a transition, the Plex/2E User Community can and should be a key partner in your journey. We are committed to evolving alongside you and ensuring the community remains a hub of knowledge and support.
To that end, we are conducting a brief survey.
Your input will help us better understand your plans and needs, enabling us to tailor community resources and discussions accordingly.

Please take a few minutes to complete the survey. Your participation will help ensure that this community remains valuable and responsive—whatever the future may hold.
If you give us 5 minutes of your valuable time to fill out the survey, we'll give you a gift card worth $5. Even better, anyone who lends me a chat in person will receive a gift worth $25. Just contact me at my email below, and we'll set it up.
Thank you for your continued support and for being part of this incredible community!
Warm regards,
Roger Griffith – President, Plex/2E User Community President
