"My first involvement with the HEUG (www.heug.org) was when the University of Cambridge became the first UK University to implement PeopleSoft Campus Solutions. My visit to the HEUG Conference in Atlanta, 2004 was an eye-opener, and for the first time I felt that I had found a group of people who were living in the same world as me and could share their experiences to great effect. Further visits to Nashville (2006) and Orlando (2007) only served to confirm my view that the HEUG was a hugely valuable and effective group in supporting the needs of Higher Ed users, having an influential voice with Oracle at the highest level."
