Anyone who has a financial interest into selling into the Oracle Applications
market space is considered a "Non-User", even if that firm is a
licensed user of the Oracle Applications. The NorCal
OAUG by-laws limit the number of Non-User Board Members to 4.
OAUG now requires all GEO Board Members to be OAUG Members.

http://linkedin.com/in/juliencoudrette
How I can contribute to the NorCal OAUG:
My goal will be to represent the
EPM/BI users of our OAUG and making sure these topics are covered during
training days and have at least one panel or conference on the subject. I am
a consultant with over 10 years of experience with HFM, Planning, Essbase, OBI EE. I work a lot on
projects that involve making all these products work together and with the broader
information system (including EBS, PeopleSoft, JD Edwards). I have done a lot
of trainings, mostly as a presenter; I would love to jump on the other side
and also help with organizing these trainings to build our skills and
networks as a NorCal Oracle users
community.

Affiliation: User
OAUG Member: Yes
Experience:
I have been working with Oracle eBusiness Suite for the last 19 years. I started out first as an actual user
in Accounts Payables and then moved around the accounting department to gain
experience in the other finance modules. After three years in accounting,
I moved into an Oracle support role as a Business Systems Analyst, which I
have been doing for the last 16 years.
I support most of the Finance modules and a few non-finance modules
like Project Accounting, Inventory and Order Management.
How I can contribute to the NorCal OAUG:
As the current treasurer, I would
like to continue to work on the board to make sure, as a group, users from
Northern California have access to the resources they need, whether it be
other users, vendors or meetings.
I would like to bring my experience as an applications user to
influence the direction of the user group to support the needs and
initiatives facing our Oracle community.

Affiliation: Non-User
OAUG Member: Yes
Experience:
Experience with the Oracle E-Business
Suite - Little, but some with Fusion.
Many years with Hyperion and currently serve as the OAUG Essbase Domain Lead.
How I can contribute to the NorCal OAUG:
With the advent of Fusion and the
integration of Essbase as a primary reporting and
analytic tool I think there needs to be discussions areound
how to expand the typical ERP implementation. The master data and hierarchies need
to be more robust inside the Fusion application in order to take advantage of
the internal Essbase cubes.

I will bring in more than 20 years
