Our First Ohio PS RUG Meeting of 2006!
It's that time again...we are happy to say we are working hard to lock in our agenda items for our February meeting and look to have more participation and attendance in a number of areas. Our Quest affiliation is giving us some access to more JDE EnterpriseOne and World customers while they are also providing us access to customers who can present topics of interest. We also are working hard with Oracle to obtain good updates on the Fusion strategy and recent acquisitions. We are testing a new track as well for CRM and although I have so far been unable to successfully get an Executive update on the Siebel acquisition, I will hopefully get a couple good sessions for that track. Thanks again for your interest in keeping the Ohio PS RUG strong and stay tuned in the next week or so for updates and an invitation.
Tim Johnson - President
