together a series of roundtables, networking sessions, focus groups and
discussions centered on ideas and planting the seeds for potential product
enhancements. The great ideas that come out of those discussions will lay the

JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Financial Reporting Survey - Do you miss FASTR?
Quest International Users Group is assisting Oracle to provide customer input
for a study to determine if some of the well-loved FASTR functionality of World
could be provided in EnterpriseOne. If you are a co-existent customer or
migrated from World to EnterpriseOne, or just know what FASTR is, please take a
few minutes to complete this survey.
Do you use Hyperion?
With Oracle's latest acquisition of Hyperion, Oracle will be determining how
best to integrate Hyperion users into the Oracle user groups. In order to help
them with this decision, it would be very helpful to know exactly how many
Quest members are Hyperion customers. It could be beneficial to our members as
the Hyperion developers will want to work closely with the user group that
represents its customers. If you use Hyperion, please take a quick
questionnaire by clicking here.
Have a user tip? It could be worth $500! Quest is looking for all

about your company's software experience, and if it's published in Q&A,
we'll pay you $500. Email questions to editor@questdirect.org.
