Session Description

Many high tech companies continue to expand their service offerings to grow revenue via complex bundles that enable them to achieve differentiation and improve customer relationships and satisfaction. But complex services such as installations, repairs and others that include and rely on product availability for fulfillment, face large challenges to execution excellence. In this session, hear about a new solution integrating service and operations, which merges three key components: project management, operations (planning), and finance. It helps reduce brute force safety inventory so often found in our industry that burdens capital expenditures.

Session Description

ERP/SCM/CRM application adoption increases slowly in the enterprise. Over a period of time, businesses start leveraging more and more functionalities of the packaged application, so more modules end up being put into the same infrastructure and data growth inherently increases. Traditionally infrastructure is sized with visibility only into requirements of the initial applications. Application performance degrades over a period of time, necessitating a performance engineering exercise to revamp hardware as well as software components. This session discusses how to leverage Oracle Exadata/ Exalogic to reduce these costs and explains the benefits of having enough headroom and legroom for applications infrastructure.

Session Description

IT organizations today have to support multiple mobile devices, such as BlackBerry smartphones and PlayBooks, iPhones, iPads, and Android phones and tablets. Mobilizing enterprise applications and data across these platforms traditionally requires major investments and duplication of development efforts and this dramatically lowers the ROI of the mobile application initiative. This session demonstrates how Oracle JDeveloper and Oracle Application Development Framework (Oracle ADF) supports rapid development of mobile applications across multiple mobile device platforms. It also discusses how Oracle enterprise applications such as Oracle E-Business Suite and Siebel, PeopleSoft, and JD Edwards applications can be "mobile enabled" with Oracle Fusion Middleware.
