My Oracle OpenWorld 2010 Session Topics: BI Publisher and Data Exchange for EBS

Good news! A couple weeks back I mentioned that I had put some ideas for presentations on Oracle Mix and to vote for them if you’re interested. Turns out a few people were interested and I received an invitation to present 2 of the topics! So if you’re headed to San Francisco for Oracle Open World 2010, I’ll be hosting the following sessions:

• ID#: S319051
  Title: Many Faces of Oracle Business Intelligence Publisher in Oracle E-Business Suite
  Track: Applications Tools and Technology
  Date: 21-SEP-10
  Time: 12:30 – 13:30
  Venue: Moscone West L2
  Room: Rm 2011
  This session focuses on the many different implementations of Oracle Business Intelligence Publisher within Oracle E-Business Suite by describing what functionality is currently available on a global level (all applications) as well as functionality within specific applications such as Oracle Payables, Oracle Advanced Collections, and Oracle Purchasing. It also covers bursting, the role of configuration files, and out-of-the-box features and functionality. Oracle E-Business Suite product teams have steadily adopted this advanced reporting technology in their specific applications. Unfortunately, not all of the teams have implemented Oracle Business Intelligence Publisher the same way within their modules.

• ID#: S319050
  Title: Data Exchange Between Oracle E-Business Suite and Other Systems: The Easy Way
  Track: Application Integration Architecture
  Date: 22-SEP-10
  Time: 11:30 – 12:30
  Venue: Moscone West L3
  Room: Rm 3006
  This session investigates the use of an integrated tool that affords Oracle E-Business Suite users the ability to create, configure, and manage automated event-driven processes (FTP file, e-mail file, submit request) between Oracle E-Business Suite and third-party systems. Creating a link between Oracle E-Business Suite and other systems to process events is always going to be a challenge for IT departments. Unfortunately, achieving an acceptable level of integration between systems comes with a high price: custom code requiring maintenance; costly delays due to limited access to specialized IT resources; and bulky, expensive software.

But Wait… There’s More! Live Webcast this Week “Moving to BI Publisher, Now What”
