The New and Improved Indy PeopleSoft/JDE Regional User Group

Welcome to the blogg for the "New and Improved Indiana PeopleSoft/JDE RUG". The board for the Indiana PS/JDE RUG has been working hard to improve the content and resources available to our PeopleSoft and JDE customers. Our goal is to provide a forum where we can all exchange ideas and frustrations, find support and resources, and inspire and motivate. We currently plan to have up to four meetings a year. We have four main tracks that we will focus on including PeopleSoft Enterprise HCM, PeopleSoft Enterprise Financials, PeopleSoft PeopleTools, and JDE World/EnterpriseOne. We hope to expand on these as the interest and participation grows.

Our first meeting this year is going to be held on the 16th of March, a Thursday, and will introduce our new format and agenda structure.

• We begin the meeting with a couple general sessions designed to give everyone a high level update from Oracle and another topic, for this meeting it will be a Quest Update, of interest to all members.
• Then we move into the morning session which will be what we call a "round table discussion" broken out by tracks (as mentioned above). A round table is an opportunity to find others that might have suggestions on how to resolve any issues you are facing. Each person attending will introduce themselves, describe their application and database environments (as best they can) and then mention a recent success followed up with a current dilemma or issue. This gives the others attending the chance to respond with tips or suggestions.
• Next we break off for lunch and that will ideally give each person who attended the round table sessions a chance to network a bit with those people you might have assistance or questions for.
• The afternoon bring a single session focused again on a specific track and is usually presented by a customer or a vendor, either Oracle or one of our sponsors, and ideally includes a customer.
• Finally, we wrap up with any comments, questions, and (most importantly) door prizes.

Remember, our goal is to provide a resource and forum for customers to share and gain experiences. Please let us know if you are ever interested in sharing your story.

See you at the next meeting!!
