HP/Works is the HP Technical Computing User Group. This is an independent Group supporting all users of HP and Apollo computer systems - running HP-UX, Linux, DOMAIN or NT operating systems - throughout Europe. Also supported are those who use non-HP Linux and NT and also those who use HP producst such as OpenView. We are currently making changes to reflect the HP/Compaq merger.

Benefits

• Technical Workshops and Focus Groups exploring specific topics in depth, such as System Administration, OpenView, Linux and NT. Those with corporate memberships can send anyone from the member organisation at members' rates. These are generally in the region of £60 + VAT per day.

• A quarterly technical newsletter, PING, which provides contributed technical articles from experienced users as well as up to the minute news from HP and others. PING is mailed to all members and extra contacts on corporate memberships.

• 10% discount for HP/Works members (and their colleagues on corporate memberships) on scheduled advertised Training Courses run by HP Education and booked through HP/Works. HP/Works members (and their colleagues on corporate memberships) also receive discounts on courses run by the HP-UX specialist training company, "StayAhead Training".

• An informed and open dialogue with Hewlett Packard and with other International HP Computer User Groups.

• The provision of the HP/Works informal Technical Help-Line. Ring in or email us with any queries you may have. We can't guarantee to solve your problems, but we probably know someone who can!

• 20% discount on all technical books from O'Reilly.

• Free registration for the InterWorks Conference and Exhibition - For several years, we have been able to offer sponsorship from HP for free registration to HP/Works members (and their colleagues on corporate memberships), for the InterWorks Conference in the USA. We hope to be able to repeat this in future years. This means a saving of some 750, for the most comprehensive annual conference focussing on all computing issues pertaining to HP-UX and NT users.

• Contributed HP-UX software library. This has been developed and is maintained by Liverpool University in the UK; HP/Works will assist members in obtaining copies of the software - currently over 1000 packages.

• From time to time. HP/Works can arrange special rates on items which are of interest to HP/Works members.

These benefits are in addition to the major advantage of belonging to a User Group that has a significant voice in influencing the future directions of HP. We have a good and close relationship with HP, although the Group is self financing from events and subscriptions.

Membership Details

Membership of the User Group is open to all who own or have an interest in HP products. All we ask is an annual registration fee, currently £150 + VAT for corporate membership to which additional contacts may be added at a cost of £35 + VAT per name, to ensure a wider distribution of information within your organisation. Corporate membership allows anyone contactable through the same address of a member organisation to attend HP/Works events at members' rates. Individual memberships are also available at just £95 + VAT per annum. These subscriptions are renewable each December for the following year.

Why not join HP/Works now and enjoy full membership until the end of December 2003?
