A Message From OATUG's Executive Director

To the OATUG Community,

Like you, we are saddened by the turn of events as the COVID-19 situation continues to impact the lives of our members, partners, and staff. This is an historical event unfolding around us; hopefully it proves to be a season of reunification and solidarity as we work together to mitigate the many aspects of this challenge. The well-being and safety of our community is paramount, and as a result, COLLABORATE 20 will not be occurring as scheduled this April 19-23, 2020, in Las Vegas.

In good times and bad, our strength lies in you—this incredible community of knowledgeable, experienced professionals. Right now your systems, programs and insights are keeping businesses, government agencies, and schools connected and productive. This community’s expertise and solutions-oriented thinking has never been needed more.

Please know you can depend on us as a reliable source of information and a safe forum for information exchange with each other during this challenging time. Though COLLABORATE 20 can no longer be conducted next month as planned, Team OATUG is working hard to design a reimagined program of in-person and online education, networking and tradeshow interactions.

In the meantime, let’s connect in The Hub, via our LinkedIn pages, or just send me an email. What answers do you need now? What problems are you tackling now? Your fellow users are here. OATUG is here. And we are ready to be of service.

Best regards,

Ragan Cohn, CAE
Executive Director

Tips, Tricks and Updates from the OATUG Blogs

Transforming Our Performance on the Job
“It is a big year for EBS users, and one in which we simply cannot sit back and relax. We must move forward, and when it comes to being on the job, we need to be prepared with insight, answers and vetted results. Our leaders on the job are looking to us to be the leaders in our field to take our organizations further.” (More)

10 Downloadable Keys to Knowledge from OATUG
“Part of OATUG's mission is to honor and support your journey of discovery from the unknown to the known, one step at a time. It could be one small feature you learn about from one of our presenters who successfully experimented with a new way to use a tool on an Oracle platform. Knowing for the first time about this small step, you could suddenly know how save your team from many hours of effort and frustration. One elegant process, previously unknown to you, could reveal itself in a virtual online educational session within our Knowledge Base, with positive impact for your team and your customers.” (More)

Keep Calm and Brainstorm
“Sometimes, especially in technical implementations, “going back” is exactly the right thing to do, and that is not inherently bad. But even in those cases, I would argue there’s the opportunity to make that decision either out of courage or out of fear.” (More)
