What is OHUG?

The Oracle HCM Users Group (OHUG) was born in 1998 as the Human Resources Information Systems Special Interest Group (HRIS SIG).

The OHUG is an organization devoted exclusively to providing users with valuable insight into Oracle and PeopleSoft Human Capital Management applications. OHUG provides its members with in-depth training sessions from industry experts, along with the opportunity to share experiences and best-practices information with colleagues implementing and using Oracle and PeopleSoft HCM applications.

OHUG also enables users to interface directly with Oracle executives, product managers, and development, gaining knowledge about new functionality directly from the source and ultimately influencing the future direction of the entire Oracle HCM product suite.

In its first year, the HCM and Beyond brought together the audiences of both OHUG and Quest in one event. Attendees benefited from a strong educational and networking agenda that let them expand not only their expertise in Human Capital Management, but learn more about everything from the technical aspects of their ERP systems to tips and techniques for working within the other modules their organizations have employed.
