USER GROUP FORUM DAY PRESENTATIONS
APEX Symposium-Room 3014-Moscone West 1:00 – 1:30 Kick off the ODTUG APEX Symposium with a fast-paced trip down memory lane as the last 10 year or so of web development technologies are reviewed. From the first web applications through the dot-com bust and up to today’s Web 2.0 craze, this presentation will trace the history of the technologies and methods used in creating web applications over the years, with a slant towards PL/SQL and Oracle APEX, of course! It will conclude with a brief summary of the rest of the presenters in the APEX Symposium. 1:30 – 2:15 ODTUG APEX Symposium Part 2: Enabling Functional Users Corporate-Wide with APEX Tim St. Hilaire, BAE Systems With the right combination of training, consulting, and access control, BAE Systems has allowed key functional users to build production APEX applications which are then maintained by their respective departments. This approach has freed up IT so that they can focus on larger issues. This method also allows the functional users to impact their departments easily, securely, and quickly. This presentation will outline the processes, hurdles, and successes achieved in implementing APEX business-wide. 2:15 – 3:00 ODTUG APEX Symposium Part 3: Creating Dynamite Applications that Deliver Kathy Hunsicker, WaMu Oracle's Application Express has enabled WaMu's Card Services group to rapidly deliver robust, low cost, secure, scalable, and successful Web-based applications. As a key component of WaMu’s BI and MIS platform, APEX has empowered both technical and business teams to replace legacy processes based on paper, Excel, and MS Access with simple, yet powerful applications with improved controls and capabilities. 3:30 – 4:10 ODTUG APEX Symposium Part 4: Managing the Army's Enterprise Real Property Planning with Oracle APEX Bharat Pappu & David Baxa, VISTA Technology Services When the US Army chose VISTA Technology Services to design, develop, and deploy a new system, VISTA chose Oracle Application Express (APEX). This Oracle APEX-based solution will be the Army’s official real property portfolio decision-support system. The Oracle APEX rapid development environment allowed VISTA to deliver new Web-based applications, replacing one of the Army’s largest real property legacy client-server systems (RPLANS). By using Oracle APEX, VISTA delivered the initial release in just months, saving valuable Army program dollars. 4:10 – 4:50 ODTUG APEX Symposium Part 5: Oracle Application Express: Power to the People Rich Mutell, Amgen, Dimitri Gielis, APEX Evangelists, John Scott, APEX Evangelists The Global Health Economics department built a powerful tool with APEX to manage and plan their extensive portfolio of projects. The tool tracks financial information, goals, and detailed project plans and deliverables. This presentation will discuss the business challenges of multiple sources of content, the grassroots effort to deploy APEX, and the common business processes and challenges one should consider before deployment. We will also discuss the opportunities and limitations of APEX in the hands of non-IT professionals. 4:50 – 5:30 ODTUG APEX Symposium Part 6: "If it Can Be Measured, it Can Ce Managed", a Journey with APEX! Ronnie E. Lashaw, Wachovia Corporation Every journey begins with excitement, enthusiasm, and anticipation. Successful infrastructure management is the destination. Planning the journey, understanding the requirements, bringing resources together, anticipating obstacles, and measuring performance are all brought together using APEX. Navigating compliance, following SDLC, teamwork, providing access control, and adoption of change are a few of the obstacles along the way. Follow this journey with APEX and see what has been done, how APEX has been crucial, and where the journey may lead.
ESSBASE Symposium- Room 3016-Moscone West 1:00 -2:00 Would you like to know some of what the Hyperion developers know about the Hyperion Essbase calc and block storage engines? Join us for an informative presentation designed to give you a thorough understanding of behind the scenes of an Essbase cube. You'll go beyond laboratory theory and learn how Essbase handles different formulas and commands during a calculation, how data is compressed, and how internally data is loaded into memory. For a true "insider's perspective," don't miss this session! 2:00 -3:00 ODTUG Essbase Symposium Part 2: Separating Hyperion Front End Tools: When Should I Use Financial Reporting, Web Analysis, Interactive Reporting & Everything Else? Sean Bernhoit, Hitachi Consulting Hyperion made several end user tools before the merger: Interactive Reporting, Financial Reporting, Web Analysis, SQR, and a plethora of spreadsheet add-ins. If it wasn't confusing enough before, the Oracle acquisition added a bunch more tools to the mix like OBIEE and Answers+. What should I use to build my dashboard? Should I make my report in Smart View, Answers+ or Financial Reporting? You'll hear all our opinions on which tools are right for your needs. 3:30 – 4:30 ODTUG Essbase Symposium Part 3: Providing a Complete Business Intelligence Solution: Integrating OBIEE and Essbase Mark Rittman, Rittman Mead Consulting Bokur Steingrimmson, Rittman Mead Consulting With the advent of Oracle EPM 11x, Essbase and OBIEE can now easily interact. Smart View will talk to both products, Financial Reporting can jump off to an OBIEE report, OBIEE can use Essbase as a data source, and more. With both product suites at your disposal, interaction is key: you need to use the strengths of each product. Join Mark Rittman and Bokur Steingrimmson as they talk over methods of providing a complete BI solution by merging the best parts of OBIEE and Essbase. Wonder Twin powers: activate! 4:30 – 5:30 This session will provide an update on Oracle’s product enhancement and integration efforts since the Hyperion acquisition, and will introduce attendees to Oracle’s vision for enterprise performance management. It will highlight how organizations are extending transactional systems and operational excellence to achieve true, management excellence. The business processes embedded in ERP systems are critical to achieve operational efficiencies. Hear how firms are now using EPM to create world-class smart, agile, and aligned organizations.
Web Architecture Symposium- Room 3012-Moscone West 1:00 – 2:00 This presentation discusses the results of several projects at organizations that are using one or more parts of the Oracle Fusion Middleware technology stack, which is large and complex, encompassing many components. What portions of the Oracle Fusion Middleware stack are organizations really using? How have their projects fared so far? This presentation includes information about what parts of Oracle Fusion Middleware will most likely benefit your organization. 2:00 – 3:00 ODTUG Web Architecture Symposium Part 2: Security in Web Applications Ron Lewis, CDO Technologies, Inc. Security in Web applications is usually poorly handled. Most Web sites that have not passed a security audit by a seasoned security professional can usually be hacked in a few minutes. For security to be effective, it must be a core part of the application design. It cannot be added as an afterthought after the application is written. This presentation will discuss the most common security problems in Web applications and how to “harden” them against unauthorized access. 3:30 – 4:15 ODTUG Web Architecture Symposium Part 3: Fusion Architecture Overview Duncan Mills, Oracle Corporation Clemens Utschig, Oracle Corportaion This session will introduce you to the major components and concept of the upcoming Oracle FMW 11g. From the model, and what you can do with it, towards business processes, business rules, and the aspect of the human in SOA, to Web 2.0 and collaborative features, boost productivity with the end users. Based on our learnings from building out Fusion Applications, we will highlight key aspects when designing for the next generation and challenges we encountered on our way there. 4:15 – 5:00 ODTUG Web Architecture Symposium Part 4: Fusion Development in Oracle Applications Basheer Khan, Innowave Technology Applications Unlimited has its own tools to develop customizations, extensions or interfaces. Oracle Fusion Applications are being built using Oracle Application Developer Framework (ADF) and several Fusion Middleware components. This session will discuss how to build custom components today leveraging the same technology that is being used to develop Fusion Applications. With this approach, users will benefit from this next-generation technology today and also pave the way for seamless migration of these components to Fusion Applications. 5:00 – 5:30 ODTUG Web Architecture Symposium Part 5: Q&A Panel Discussion All Speakers
BEA Symposium-Room 3000-Moscone West Presented by: Click here to download a flyer about the BEA Symposium. The Independent Oracle Users Group (IOUG) and Oracle Development Tools User Group (ODTUG) invites all BEA users to meet Oracle User Group Leaders and attend a day of BEA specific technical sessions. 9:00 – 10:30 10:30 – 12:00 IOUG and ODTUG: Building Web 2.0 Social Applications in Ruby on Rails using BEA AquaLogic Interaction Chris Bucchere, bdg For BEA Participate 2008, Chris Bucchere's company (bdg) built a cutting-edge social network on a very aggressive timeline using Ruby on Rails, the Ruby IDK and BEA AquaLogic Interaction and LBPM. The application was a raging success, collecting 75,000 page views during the conference (over 100 hits per attendee) and allowing people to network with their peers like never before. In this session, Chris will explain how the app was envisioned, designed, and built, and how you can design and deploy similar applications (built on dynamic languages and ORM frameworks such as Ruby on Rails or PHP and Cake) using your existing SOA infrastructure from Oracle and BEA. The session will also cover optimizing your applications for the iPhone (and iPod Touch's) Web browser and providing SMS integration on the cheap using DOTGO. 1:00 – 3:00 IOUG and ODTUG: BEA AquaLogic versus Oracle Fusion Middleware Shoot Out Lonneke Dikmans, Approach Alliance Ronald van Luttikhuizen, Approach Alliance It is interesting to see the differences and similarities between the Oracle Fusion Middleware stack and, the BEA AquaLogic product line. We will explain the BEA AquaLogic stack in terms that are used by Oracle and compare it to the Oracle equivalent in the stack with examples. We will start with AquaLogic Service Bus and compare it to the Oracle ESB. Then we will move to WebLogic Integration and compare it with Oracle BPEL. We will do the same with ALBPM and Oracle BPEL. Finally we will compare Oracle BPA Suite with the possibilities in Eclipse. 3:30 – 4:15 IOUG and ODTUG: Triple Threat: Combine People, Processes and Portals Thomas Barton, Novartis Pharmaceutical How do you make sure that thousands of people have access to the everyday information they need to get their jobs done? How do you implement business processes that cross departmental, organizational and geographical boundaries? Novartis Pharmaceutical’s IT department has adapted the way it serves its business by implementing BPM and portal technologies to centralize access to systems, unify the employee Web experience, and greatly decrease the time it takes to deliver valuable business solutions. 4:15 – 5:30 IOUG and ODTUG: BEA Expert Birds of a Feather Networking Session Expert Panel-Moderator John King, King Training Resources Now that BEA is part of Oracle Corporation, we expect BEA users may have questions like: How does BEA technology fit into the Oracle technology stack? Where do I fit within the Oracle user group community? What training opportunities are available? User Group leaders and technical experts will provide you with an overview of the Oracle vision and user group community Make sure to have all your BEA/Oracle questions ready.
