Projects are the lifeblood of an organization like HDP User Group, and they are the main reason why companies choose to join. The knowledge and experience gained through interaction with other team members during the execution of the project, and the results generated by our projects are our major deliverables. But not all projects are suitable for a cooperative environment, and not all issues and problems lend themselves to successful cooperative projects.

HDP User Group uses a Project Life Cycle technique to insure that all projects chosen for execution are technically sound and supported by several Member Companies. You can review this method at the Project Cycle page.

We separate projects into 3 stages.  For a description of the projects in each stage, visit these pages. For detailed information of current HDP User Group active projects see the links below.

1. Idea Stage
2. Definition Stage
3. Implementation Stage
