One of the most important roles played by ISUG members and users of Sybase products is that of helping to improve Sybase products. Through the enhancements request process, you may draw on your own experience to suggest fixes and new ideas for the next release. In order to submit an enhancements request you can be an ISUG Member of any type. However, you will need to be a Regular (paid) ISUG member to vote on any enhancements in the system. (Join ISUG now)

How the Submission Process Works

When users submit an enhancement request (using the Enhancement Request Form), it is sent to ISUG's enhancements committee. When the request is approved, after verifying the contents and adding a unique identification number, the following steps are taken:

1. The request is added to the website .
2. A confirmation is sent to the requester.
3. ISUG members can rank the request and provide comments that could be useful for other voters and/or Sybase
