By now, regular readers might have gathered that my plans are to assemble a dream team of guest authors from different lines of business that work with the E-Business Suite.  So far I’ve been lucky enough to convince senior colleagues such as Mike Shaw (Support) and Keith M. Swartz (Development) to join us here.


Success often builds on success, and so I’m pleased to welcome Jim Van Heel as a new contributor to this blog.  Jim spends nearly all of his time speaking directly to people in the field — architects, system planners, and DBAs — and he brings a fresh new perspective to this blog.  On top of all that, he’s a snappy dresser.

Here’s a short bio:

Jim is an 11i Applications Technology specialist in the Field Sales organization. Since joining Oracle in 1998, Jim has worked with big and small customers in the Utilities, Communications and Financial Services industries.

Jim works out of the Manhattan office, but he’s on the road spreading the good word most of the time. One day, his sailboat will be back in the water.
