“I was honoured to represent TRPGLOBAL along with my colleague Srijita Chatterjee at the SAOUG Conference in the vibrant city of Johannesburg. Over the course of these two action-packed days, we had the privilege to take the stage as speakers, sharing insights on our Oracle Risk Management Cloud Implementation Journey, and Oracle Service Usage License Compliance Case Study. The event was a fantastic opportunity to connect with customers, partners, and peers from across South Africa. The exchange of ideas and experiences was truly inspiring, reinforcing the power of collaboration and community in driving innovation. A big thank you to Penelope Clarke, Debs Whittaker, and the entire organising team for orchestrating such a well-rounded and impactful event. Your efforts made this gathering a platform for meaningful conversations and future opportunities. Looking forward to continuing the conversation and building on the relationships formed during these two memorable days.”
“First let me congratulate you on a fantastic conference, the location, the content, the speakers, the entertainment, everything was awesome. I know just how hard it is being part of a user group board, and rebuilding takes guts and courage, and you pulled it off. Building on this event will only increase your reach. Thank you so much for having the faith in me and inviting me to be part of your event, I had such an amazing time, and the only disappointment was having to leave so promptly.”
“The South African Oracle User Group (SAOUG) Conference is where you get a chance to commingle with industry experts, as they discuss the latest technology roadmaps and use cases that relevant to different organisations in different industries, as well as showcasing how to solve business challenges with the some of the most sophisticated piece of technology. SAOUG promotes a tech agnosticism mentality that encourages engineers and decision makers (c-suite/managing executives) to lead with innovation and not to adopt to innovation.”
"Job well done by the SAOUG, Johannesburg 
Honoured to have attended the South African Oracle User Group (SAOUG) Conference, my first ever SAOUG event and debut as a speaker.
The energy and curiosity from the South African audience were simply amazing. It was a great experience sharing knowledge, learning from peers, and connecting with passionate Oracle professionals.
A huge thanks to Oracle, Debs Whittaker and the entire SAOUG team for making this opportunity!"
