A day in the life of an Oracle Applications Consultant

Software 2005 Conference - more on Project Fusion?

The conference kicks off today at the Santa Clara Convention Center in California. I understand Charles Phillips, Oracle’s President, will be speaking there so hopefully we’ll get to hear more on Project Fusion, Oracle’s effort to merge the JD Edwards, Peoplesoft and Oracle EBS Software.

According to the organiser’s, , this event is the largest conference for software executives. They also state that the event is a vendor-neutral forum where all software business leaders could candidly debate strategic issues, share ideas and opinions - all for the common good of the industry. At the conference Industry leaders will share their perspectives on the building blocks of an organization’s lifecycle - from funding to launch to growth to liquidity. Attendees will gain a year’s worth of knowledge under one roof in just two days.

I’ve mailed a couple of speakers and attendees to see if we can get the low down on Charles Phillips speech as well as some pics of the conference. In the mean time I’ve listed below the Keynotes, Speakers, Moderators, Panelists and provided links to other blog posts on the conference: -
