ISUG serves the Sybase
user community by acting as an information channel, an advocate for user issues,
and as a force to help determine Sybase product direction. With enthusiastic and
knowledgeable members and strong support from Sybase, ISUG helps to sponsor local
user group activities, a bi-monthly technical journal, a speaker bureau, worldwide
traveling roadshows, one to two annual user conferences, and much more.
The group's goals include providing a constantly expanding list of membership benefits to DBAs and developers. It also supports a communication network
between users and Sybase management. ISUG's integrated user groups operate locally,
regionally, and worldwide -- encouraging creative and insightful new approaches
to using Sybase technologies.
Sybase User Groups are an
excellent way for users to share solutions to common application issues, industry-specific
development issues, and to provide insight and support. Join ISUG now!
The International Sybase
User Group (ISUG) now fully supports PowerBuilder User Groups (PBUG) and welcomes
PBUG members to join ISUG. For

The ISUG Technical Journal
One of the main benefits of being an ISUG member is a
free subscription to the bi-monthly "ISUG Technical
Journal," a color magazine featuring articles by user
group members and Sybase programmers. These articles
provide practical advice, tips, case studies, and
techniques for DBAs and developers. The journal also
covers user group news, conference reports, and brief
articles on new services being provided to users.
Selected articles from the journal are available for
public access through the ISUG Web site. Members have
online access to the full Journal archive.
The ISUG Web site
Both members and non-members can benefit from regular visits to the ISUG website at www.isug.com. The site features the latest news for users, including Sybase events and special offers, as well as the ISUG Technical Journal Online. Users can utilize the Web site to vote on or comment about new releases and to propose enhancements to Sybase products.
