With an eye towards the future, the Higher Education User Group broadens member services by shifting to a Vendor Inclusive model
Summary
Based on the feedback from its higher education and public sector members, the HEUG will now expand its portfolio of vendor partners, creating additional access to current information on technologies, services, and strategies that better align with what is happening at their institutions. This new approach will allow members to participate in a unified conference and organization, where business owners and users can meet and collaborate with technology and solutions partners across platforms, merging strategy with innovation and maintenance. Jason Koziara, Vice President of Alliance (DePaul University) stated, “Vendor inclusivity positions the Alliance conference as the premier global event where higher education and public sector professionals can network, share practical knowledge and get the crucial full breadth of multi-vendor information that they will need to navigate the challenging road ahead.” Matthew Sherman, General Manager – Workday Student added, “Workday is thrilled to support and partner with the HEUG community. The Workday Student team is excited to add yet another opportunity to hear from our customers, educate subject matter experts on the value the Workday platform delivers to campuses, and connect with the greater higher education community.” Vicki Tambellini, President, and CEO of a leading independent industry analyst firm, also noted, “The HEUGs response to their members changing needs allows them to remain relevant to constituents as they evaluate and expand technology portfolios. HEUG’s mission is to educate and advocate by facilitating the sharing of ideas, information, and experiences among its members, and to provide a unified and effective independent voice to our system partners.
