OATUG Cost Management SIG

OATUG Cost Management Special Interest Group (SIG) Minutes

As a service to the Oracle Applications community Doug Volz has led the Cost Management Group since 2007, helping folks more effectively use Oracle Cost Management and related product areas.  In these monthly webinars Doug and other expert presenters give practical advice on using Oracle Cost Management, showcasing new products and collectively, helping each other do more with the Oracle Applications. Oracle Cost Development and Oracle Support also participate in these discussions and actively engage the Cost Management SIG for feedback on product features and directions.

For your convenience a list of prior monthly webinars is listed below; however, starting in 2016 all links to prior presentations and recordings have been removed per the revised Oracle Application &Technology User Group (OATUG) guidelines.  Starting in 2016, although non-members can attend webinars, only OATUG members will be allowed to download presentation materials and recordings.  For more information about the Cost Management SIG, please go to:  OATUG Cost Management SIG.  For more information about OATUG (Oracle Applications &Technology User Group), membership and benefits, please go to:  Why Join OATUG.
