Oracle OpenWorld 2011 is almost upon us, so it’s time for another “What Looks Good To Me” article. In fact, I’m a little late…been a very busy summer.
I’m obviously looking forward to OOW 2011. In addition to catching up with old friends and making new ones, I’m looking forward to soaking up more information about Fusion Applications. Oracle is offering over 70 sessions on Fusion Apps, plus multiple hands-on opportunities in the demo grounds. Gathering up more information on Fusion Apps is a big driver in my OOW plan this year.
So let's get into what looks good to me this year...
A Couple of Caveats
- I’m attending on “the king’s shilling” this year: as an Oracle ACE Director, Oracle is covering all my expenses
- I’ve been heavily engaged in the Oracle Fusion Applications Early Adopter Program for over a year now. I’m really interested in feedback from non-EAP customers. I’m also heavily interested in customer stories involving value-add with Fusion Middleware. And finally, I’m also interested in the evolution of the E-Business Suite product line. So my list focuses on those areas.
Things I’m Doing at OOW
Some shameless promotional plugs:
- OAUG Fusion Council, Session 28460, Sunday at 1:00 p.m. in Moscone West 3012. I’ll be on a panel taking questions on all things pertinent to Fusion Applications. You bring your questions and we’ll provide the answers.
- The ABCs of Implementing Oracle Project Portfolio Management, Session 18460, Thursday at 10:30 a.m. in Moscone West 3016. Thursday morning, after the Customer Appreciation Event…bet the subject matter here wanders well beyond PPM before we’re done.
- At the Innowave Technology vendor booth on the Exhibition Floor, you’ll be able to pick up a draft sample of the first few chapters from my upcoming book: Tales From The Trenches – Hands-On Lessons Learned About Fusion Applications.
- I’m also engaging with the Oracle UX customer feedback labs, getting a first look at some upcoming mobile apps.
OK, preliminaries done. Here we go.

Floyd,
Do you know how much time you just saved me! Especially on the Ebiz front, interesting looking one in there about WebCenter User Experiences...hmmm.....
Misha
That's quite a list, i'm exhausted just reading it.
I'll be at the Fusion Financial Reporting demo booth on Tuesday and Wednesday afternoon (shameless plug) and the OAUG GL SIG and International SIG on Sunday.
Need to sit down with the schedule and see what else I will take in, this is a really useful starting point. Thanks for posting.
