FOCUS ON E-BUSINESS SUITE

I am looking forward to speaking with you all at Collaborate '08 in Denver, Colorado Sunday, April 13 - Thursday, April 17.   As I may have mentioned, I have recently moved into EBS Product Strategy so I will be focusing on the EBS content and customers while at Collaborate this year.

I quickly reviewed the agenda and started putting together a list of sessions I must go to, want to go to and would like to go to. 

NOTE: Please pre-register for the sessions you really want to go to because several, like Nadia Bendjedou's "Upgrading to Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12: Best Practices"   Thursday at 11:00am, are already sold out.

This year, at the Collaborate 08 conference held in Denver, Colorado, attendees were excited about hearing the details of how they could get to the most current release of E-Business Suite - especially now that Oracle is live on the most current version of the application. All of the E-Business Suite sessions that had the words upgrade or roadmap in the title were standing room only or completely filled. 

With regards to Release 12 and the upcoming Release 12.1, customers are onboard with the fact that the new functionality in the latest releases will allow them to run a more efficient back office and a more optimized supply chain operations. Coupling the functionality advances with the upgrade to modern middleware technology platform, provides customers a unique opportunity to take advantage of Fusion today.i??
