About LUG
The LUG provides a unique relationship with IBM. Since 1994, the Large User Group (LUG) has provided an enhanced relationship between IBM development and users of IBM System i™ products. The LUG is a client sponsored organization which provides a lively forum for positive and constructive communications on what the System i is, where it is going, and how it could be improved.
The LUG is a source of information, ideas, and solutions. The LUG provides a forum for knowledgeable and talented IT professionals from dozens of companies using the IBM System i. The LUG provides a channel for member companies to exchange information about various topics of particular interest to the users of these systems in an enterprise environment. The IT professionals that make up the LUG membership share solutions to common problems. This is accomplished through regular meetings with IBM and discussions on a private Web site, which is accessible only by LUG members and approved IBM employees.
