It was recently decided that the HUGs will align with the Oracle Application User Group (OAUG). The OAUG is one of the largest independent Oracle users groups representing its members to Oracle to influence product direction and share feedback and best practices with Oracle development and strategy managers. The OAUG fosters communication and collaboration between all types of users, including functional and technical users, as well as managers. Within the OAUG there is a Hyperion Special Interest Group (Hyperion SIG) that focuses on all of the Hyperion applications. OAUG is our link to Oracle information and will enable all HUGs to have an opportunity to share our concerns with Oracle via an existing Oracle communication channel and to continue sharing information between Hyperion users.

Please remember for all information associated with Oracle, you must "opt-in" to get communications from them. You may "opt-out" at any time. This is different from Hyperion where once you were included in the Hyperion database, you would automatically receive information unless you requested not to.
