Please use the space below to comment on topics, categories or issues that have not been addressed in this survey. 16.) A formal MetroNY HUG meeting will occur 3-4 times a year. Due to this limited frequency, coupled with the wide range of products and services Hyperion provides, it will be impossible to discuss and share knowledge and experiences solely at the quarterly HUG meetings. Therefore, it is perceived that a lot of the business value will be ascertained through formal/informal sub-networks that are established and meet “as needed” to address specific business requirements. Would you be willing to lead such a sub-team for a specific requirement of interest to you? I would be willing to lead a sub-team I would like to participate I do not see myself participating on sub-teams of this nature I am undecided at this time
