Okay...we had a fantastic meeting for the Indy RUG in June. Thanks to everyone who helped make this a strong event including our board members, Bernie Augenstein and Joe Maloney from Batesville Casket (for a fantastic session for our JDE crowd), Oracle, the Indiana Historical Society and of course all of the member companies that came together to exchange ideas and resources. Our next meeting is not scheduled until December 14 for the Indy RUG but as a joint effort we are working with The Midwest RUG, Ohio RUG and Quest to have a great meeting in Chicago on September 14th and 15th. This will include 10 tracks (Enterprise and JDE) and up to about 7 sessions per track. The tracks are as follows:
  • Enterprise HCM
