OpenWorld Hands-On Labs – Another Bite At The Apple

While attending Collaborate 08, I had the good fortune to attend a hands-on lab sponsored by the OTN Best Practice Centers: ""Hands On Lab: Service-enable Oracle E-Business Suite with Oracle SOA Suite BPEL Process Manager". This was one of the best time investments I made at Collaborate. I raved about it and expressed my hope in this very blog that we would see more sessions like this at Oracle OpenWorld. Looks like my wish is coming true…we're going to get another bite at the apple!

Last week, I received an email from Markus Zirn, a VP of Oracle Fusion Middleware Product Management and a good friend. Markus wanted to let me know that the OTN Best Practice Centers will be sponsoring a series of hands-on labs and demos on using Fusion Middleware with Oracle Applications (EBS, PeopleSoft, Siebel and JD Edwards).

It's exciting to hear that Oracle is continuing with hands-on labs at OpenWorld (and hopefully at Collaborate 09). There's just no substitute, in terms of product assessment and introductory skill building, for taking the software for a test drive. These labs give users a chance to see just how to extend application functionality with Fusion Middleware. It's an experience you just can't replicate on a PowerPoint chart.

I should point out that attendance at these workshops and demos is included in an OpenWorld full conference pass. I should also point out that a large percentage of users, 577 users in total, signed up for similar sessions at Collaborate 08 – I'm betting these OpenWorld sessions will fill up very quickly, so you may want to sign up early.

The schedule for the sessions (along with a URL with the Best Practice Center for each app product line) follows:
