The
LUG provides a unique relationship with IBM. Since 1994, the Large
User Group (LUG) has provided an enhanced relationship between IBM
development and users of IBM i™ products. The LUG is a client sponsored
organization which provides a lively forum for positive and constructive
communications on what the IBM i™ is, where it is going, and how it
could be improved.
The LUG is a source of information, ideas, and
solutions. The LUG provides a forum for knowledgeable and talented IT
professionals from over one hundred companies using the IBM i™. The LUG
provides a channel for member companies to exchange information about
various topics of particular interest to the users of these systems in
an enterprise environment. The IT professionals that make up the LUG
membership share solutions to common problems. This is accomplished
through regular meetings with IBM and discussions on a private Web site,
which is accessible only by LUG members and approved IBM employees.
