At the 2001
PeopleSoft
Connect
conference the
suggestion was
raised to form
an Oracle SIG.
Curiously, there
was at the time,
a SIG for
Informix, DB2
and SQLServer,
but not one for
Oracle which 60%
of the
PeopleSoft
installs use.
In early 2002 an
Oracle SIG was
defined and
recognized by
PeopleSoft. In
January 2006
following the
Oracle/PeopleSoft
merger, the SIG
was redefined
and recognized
as a member
group of the
Oracle
Applications
Users Group, and
is now called
the PeopleSoft
Technology SIG.
The
PeopleSoft
Technology
SIG’s officers
will meet in
person annually
and by
teleconference
in the off
months to
accomplish
matters of
interest,
including but
not limited to
the following:
-
Review
PeopleSoft
Technology
SIG progress
and status and
make
appropriate
changes.
-
Re-organize
the SIG into
new/appropriate
sub-groups.
-
Nominate/appoint
officers.
-
Plan for
PeopleSoft
Technology
SIG meetings
and the
OpenWorld and
OAUG
conferences.
-
Coordinate
information
and activities
with OAUG.
Provide a
structure to
identify and
execute on SIG
initiatives for
improving
Oracle’s
products and/or
solving product
problems.
Vendors or
Oracle Partners
may be invited
to cover some or
all of the costs
of an event in
exchange to some
consideration.
The Oracle SIG
officers or
authorized
sub-committees
may assess
meeting fees to
individuals
attending Oracle
SIG
meetings/conferences
in order to
cover the costs
of meeting room
rentals,
speakers'
expenses, meals,
refreshments,
etc. Such fees
should not
exceed actual
costs plus a
small
contingency
reserve. There
are tax
implications if
the SIG collects
more than the
cost of the
event.
The member
companies
providing
officers to the
SIG or the
officers
themselves will
pay the travel
and other
expenses of the
individuals
assigned to
participate as
an officer of
the PeopleSoft
Technology SIG.
Any member who
puts, or
attempts to put,
his or her own
personal
objectives
before the SIG’s
objectives, be
it via a
furthering of a
business venture
or otherwise,
and can be found
by the officers
to be in
conflict with
the SIG’s
mission and/or
objectives, will
be asked by a
representative
of the SIG to
cease the
practice. This
SIG is not to be
used by the
membership to
identify
perspective
clients or
increase sales.
