Be there for Enhancements Day
-- Monday, April 16 -- Where do Monday's events fit into your COLLABORATE 07
experience? Monday morning, all Que st affiliated groups have a chance to conduct their
"official" business meetings. For Monday afternoon's agenda, we've
worked with our product, industry and special interest groups, as well as the
product strategy teams at Oracle, to put 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 groundwork for the first enhancement
requests submitted and prioritized by our members via our new online tool,
which will be available after the conference. For more information on
Enhancements Day, click here.

Do you use Hyperion? Take this quick
survey
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.
