Focus: HOPE I.T. User Group (FHITUG)
Where IT Professionals Meet To Explore New Technologies
About FHITUG
This
general IT User Group has been formed to bring together current technology students
and alumni, technology and network professional, IT educators and educational support staff and SMB owners, managers and support personnel within the metropolitan Detroit area in an effort to explore and understand new technologies and IT services, i.e. Unified Communications, Virtualization, NAS, WiFi/WiMAX, Web 2.0, Managed Services, etc. The group will be inviting speakers and members of the IT community to share their insight and experience in these areas by way of presentations and demonstrations.
FHITUG is a member of the Global IT Community Association which is a network of IT Professional User Groups, created to bring these groups together with each other and with leading IT solution providers.
In March of 2009, FHITUG became a chapter of the Professional Association of SQL Server (PASS) and developed a Special Interest Group (SIG) for SharePoint and SQL Server in an effort to provide education for its members in the SharePoint and SQL Server technologies and to provide its member the additional benefits of being affiliated with PASS and the SQL Server Worldwide Users Group (SSWUG). The SIG meetings will be offered online via Live meeting.
