Whether Notes/Domino, Sametime, Connections, Volt MX, Leap or BigFix – our focus is on dialog and learning from each other. Our focus groups offer space for platform-specific topics and are always on the lookout for new approaches to optimize application and integration. Everyone can and should contribute and benefit here. Supporting each other is at the heart of every user group and especially of the DNUG.
