Key Note Tuning Oracle Portal:

Ahmed Alomari, one of the leading e-Business Suite Architects in the World, will be presenting on Tuning Oracle Portal for e-Business Suite.
 
 
Ahmed Alomari is well known in the industry for his performance expertise. He has published several books on performance tuning with Prentice Hall. He has also presented on the subject of performance tuning at numerous conferences including Oracle OpenWorld, Oracle Applications Users Group (OAUG), VLDB, SANS, and Database and Client Server World.
 

Prior to becoming an independent consultant and starting Cybernoor Corporation, Ahmed worked for Oracle Corporation for over 10 years, and he last held the position of Vice President of the Applications Performance Group in the Applications Development Division. While at Oracle Ahmed managed the Applications Performance Group in Applications development and he was responsible for the performance and scalability of the E-Business Suite and the PeopleSoft Enterprise applications.

Identity Management Made Simple:

The Oracle Identity and Access Management Suite (IdM) allow companies to manage users across the enterprise. Not only Oracle but this also can be used to add and remove user accounts for most of today’s commercial software; Active Directory, Microsoft Outlook, e-Business Suite, SAP, and more.

A well-thought-out strategy allows both users and applications to be deployed throughout the enterprise faster. Oracle IdM can also increase the protection of corporate assets and automatically eliminate latent access privilege. Bringing greater agility, better decision-making, reduced cost and less risk to diverse IT environments.

This session will review real-world Identity Management Projects and provide best practices and lessens learned to the user group.

Enterprise and Web 2.0

The promises of Web and Enterprise 2.0 are numerous and extensive- these technologies can change the way organizations work, they will enable organizations to leverage the intellect of every single employee, and their features will allow your organization to remain competitive in today’s marketplace. But how real are these claims and where do you start?

Based on the research of Andrew McAfee, Associate Professor of Harvard Business School, this session will:

Define Web 2.0 and discuss ways that Enterprise 2.0 can seamlessly and profitably bridge the gap between unstructured and structured data.
The transition process of some early adopters of Enterprise 2.0, highlighting real-world examples of implementations
The truly attainable competitive differentiations and benefits your company can realize by deploying certain Enterprise 2.0 technologies
Although my group doesn't possess the IT background for managing Web content, they were able to learn and use Oracle Portal quickly-and show immediate results.
People feel they have more control over their information. That's a huge benefit for us.
