ISUG's mission is to serve the Sybase user community by acting as an information channel, an advocate for user issues, and as a force that helps to determine the product directions of Sybase. Bringing a fresh and much needed approach to the way a 21st Century user group operates, ISUG has been successful in pursuing these goals – thanks to its enthusiastic and knowledgeable members and unparalled support from Sybase itself.

Our objectives include:

• Providing educational and networking opportunities through local, regional and virtual user groups;
• Supporting communication networks and between users and Sybase;
• Providing a constantly expanding list of membership benefits to our members;
• Serving as a strong advocate for issues of concern for Sybase users;
• Providing a forum for users to influence future Sybase product direction;
• Maintaining a channel for Sybase to share important information with users;
• Sustaining an integrated user group that operates locally, regionally, and worldwide;
• Encouraging creative and insightful new approaches to using Sybase technologies.

And we're doing it, too. Our successes include:

• The recent 15-city PowerBuilder 11 Seminar tour in North America;
• A rapidly expanding membership base worldwide;
• New partners from all areas of Sybase technologies;
• An enhancements request process with a high response rate;
• Many, many membership benefits from Sybase and ISUG partner companies;
• A variety of communication channels for users, including Internet-based communications, this Web site, and the bi-monthly ISUG Technical Journal.
