Oracle Open World 2009 is the premier annual Oracle event for organizations that rely on Oracle products for their business.

This year (October 11th – 15th) Open World will be kicking off with over 1,800 learning sessions along with hundreds of exhibits from Oracle’s partners.

SSG is actively participating in Open World and we have already made our reservations to be there.  This year we have decided to each  focus on a specific Oracle product area.  There is just too much to see and evaluate at such a large event…

• I will be attending sessions on Fusion Middleware and Service Oriented Architecture areas.
• Mark Peterson will be focusing on Oracle’s Business Process Management products which is one of his areas of strength.
• Jon Davis will be covering sessions on Communications Billing and Revenue Management since he has over 12 years of background with that product.
• Paul Scott is our in-house Business Intelligence expert and will be covering BI sessions.
• Steve Steinheimer will be overseeing our client and partner meetings.

This will be my second year as an official conference blogger.  This designation provides me with access to all events at the conference.  Last year I posted a number of entries about the 2008 event.  In preparation I hope that you will sign up for our SSG feed via RSS so that you get an update anytime new blog posts are made on our site.

With the acquisition of SUN Microsystems earlier this year and the final integration of BEA products from last year’s integration there should be plenty of new announcements and product introductions this year.   Stay tuned!
