This post is late in coming. But better late than never. Like previous years, Oracle Open World turned out to be a whirlwind of endless presentations, demos and meetings. After its over you can look back and say "whew...did it really get over?". Here is a brief recap of the event:
- The attendance was marginally down as compared to 2008. Something that can be explained by the state of the economy
- WMS sessions were very well attended. There was a lot of interest in MSCA sessions especially the mobility session by Jennifer Sherman and Carrie Lukatch
- The questions during my presentation at the SIG and WMS Roadmap presentation were very interesting and indicated customer interest in new generation of features in R12.1 and R12 especially Advanced Wave Planning capabilities and forward pick replenishment.
- WMS SIG events will be rescheduled on a weekday from next Oracle Open World. This is a really good move by OAUG
- Increasing interest in WMS and OTM. This was also evident from the interest in the joint OTM+WMS sessions by Derek Gittoes and Jen Sherman.
