IOUG

The Independent Oracle Users Group (IOUG)[1] represents the voice of Oracle technology and database professionals and empowers them to be more productive in their business and careers by:

   Delivering education
   Sharing best practices
   Providing technology direction and networking opportunities

Incorporating the elements of the G.R.E.A.T.[2] strategy, the IOUG empowers Oracle database and development professionals by delivering the highest quality:

   Information
   Education
   Networking
   Advocacy

The IOUG helps each member:

   Enhance their skill set with technical content created for users by users
   Increase the technical advantage of their organization
   Boost their individual marketability
   Gain access to a network of peers for collaboration and information exchange
   Voice opinions to Oracle about their products, services and policies

This is one of many Oracle Users Groups formed as a self-supporting forum for discussion, education and networking outside of the formal Oracle Corporation-sponsored community forums on the Oracle TechNet Discussion Forums.[3]

History

The IOUG was founded in 1993.[4]

Effective 17 September 2005,[5] IOUG changed their name from International Oracle Users Group to the Independent Oracle Users Group.

The last IOUG LIVE conference was hosted in 2005. Starting from 2006, IOUG has jointly participated in the Collaborate unified conference with OAUG and Quest International Users Group.
