PSUG New Member Information
|
Welcome new Public Sector User Group Member!
As representatives of the Public Sector User Group (PSUG), we would like
to highlight the services that PSUG provides to users in the Public Sector
market that may be of value to you as an Oracle customer. The
market includes cities, local government, special districts,
school districts, states and ports and utilities.
PSUG was created several years ago as Oracle released more products
geared towards public sector customers. PSUG users saw the need
for a forum in which they could share information about all Oracle
products, discuss implementation and operating challenges, network and
review technical issues. As members exchange this type of information,
leaders in the group pull together questions, comments, issues and
proposals that are later presented to Oracle management. By doing
so, PSUG serves as a united voice from the Public Sector market.
PSUG membership is free and open to all employees of Public Sector
customers that are using Oracle products. There is no formal
membership application process; getting involved with the group is as
easy as visiting PSUG's website www.psugonline.org to learn about
how you can take part in one of PSUG's events or activities:
- PSUG/HEUG Conference (Alliance): The annual HEUG/PSUG conference (called the Alliance Conference) attracts more
than 4500 attendees who come together to talk about their experiences
and learn from their colleagues. At last year's conference, nearly 450
presentations on a wide variety of topics were given. Additionally, the conference offers PSUG members
the opportunity to interact with vendors and Oracle managers,
experts, and developers. The 2006 conference was also the first Alliance conference, integrating not only Higher Education and PSUG users, but also welcomed the Federal Users Network, and the Oracle Higher Education Special Interest Group.
- PSUG Website: This website contains news, discussions, files,
surveys, contacts from our growing member base, as well as access to the HEUG, Federal Users Network and Oracle institutions and members, who are facing the same
issues as you. Becoming part of the PSUG website is the quickest and
easiest way to start getting involved with SLG.
- PSUG Monthly conference calls with focus on PeopleSoft Financials (2nd Thursday of the month) and HRMS (1st Tuesday of the month).
PSUG has this and much more to offer new members. As was mentioned
earlier, there is no cost to become involved with the group and there is
no formal membership application process. An unlimited number of
representatives from each institution are permitted to take part in PSUG,
regardless of what rank they hold or function they perform. Please feel
free to pass this information along to any of your colleagues who are
involved with your Oracle projects and who may be interested in
taking part in these activities.
An all-volunteer group of users just like you created and continues to
develop PSUG. We all welcome your participation and hope that you will
choose to become an active contributor within the group.
Sincerely,
The Public Sector User Group Board |
