OAUG Announces Oracle CRM Community

Provides wider access to user group support services

ATLANTA--The Oracle Applications Users Group (OAUG), the world’s largest user knowledgebase for Oracle Applications, announced the creation of the Oracle CRM Community, an integrated community comprised of the PeopleSoft Enterprise, Fusion, Siebel and E-Business Suite CRM User Group memberships.

The Oracle CRM Community was formed by the Fusion CRM User Group, a Special Interest Group (SIG) affiliate of the OAUG, to further the mission of sharing information and expertise among all users regarding the selection, implementation and effective use of Oracle CRM applications.

The relationship between OAUG and the Oracle CRM Community creates a collective voice to Oracle through established councils of influence, access to each other’s user group support through existing infrastructure and increased collaboration among the user groups involved with the affiliation. The relationship also enables the groups to combine efforts during the Oracle CRM Community’s Spring CRM Conference, “Convergence: Bringing CRM Customers Together,” as well as at major Oracle user community events such as COLLABORATE and Oracle OpenWorld.

“Our affiliation with the OAUG illustrates our goal to foster a sense of community by building alliances with like-minded organizations for the purpose of collaboration and education,” said Audrey R. Bledsoe, president of the Oracle CRM Community. “Affiliated OAUG SIGs are independent entities that work with OAUG to further the mission of serving as a unified voice to Oracle, and we are now one step closer.”

“This affiliation between diversified Oracle-related user groups enables our members to share best practices with a wider range of users than ever before while further establishing a more prominent presence for future membership growth,” said Jan Wagner, president of the OAUG.
