Oracle Projects at OAUG Denver 2008!

Hi all,

OAUG Collaborate is in Denver this year from April 13-17th.  I just wanted to give everyone a heads up that the Oracle Projects team will be there this year with a few presentations.

The first one is called Project Management Best Practices: Achieving Business Results and is on Tuesday April 15th at 1.45 pm.  The synopsis is:

This session will deliver key insight into the industry-leading practices companies have adopted in managing their project-driven organizations. These practices are based on the real-world experiences of thousands of customers of Oracle’s PPM solutions, across industries, managing and governing their project management office (PMO), and driving corporate change initiatives. The speakers will identify challenges and recommend best business practices to address the challenges, while providing guidance in making the critical decisions involved in implementing software solutions. Finally, the audience will learn how to address these challenges with Oracle’s PPM solutions.

The second session we’re presenting is called Managing the Project Portfolio: Delivering Balance, Alignment, and Optimization. This session is on Wednesday April 16th at 11 am. Here is the synopsis for that session:

Getting the most out of available resources and assets while ensuring that the “right” programs and projects are initiated is a critical business requirement across industry. This session will detail how Oracle’s Portfolio Analysis tool can help companies align their portfolios of projects and programs with their organizational objectives by taking advantage of standard criteria, weighted scoring and ranking, and what-if portfolio analyses.

Finally, our third session is titled Program Management with EBS Projects Integration to Microsoft Project Server and Primavera.  This session is also on Wednesday at 4.30 pm.  This is the abstract for that session:

Running a successful project management office requires both strategic management and tactical scheduling. Learn how Oracle and Impress Software are simplifying this challenge by integrating Oracle E-Business Suite Projects with Microsoft Project Server for project scheduling. Regardless of your industry, if you have wondered how to reconcile executives’ demands for analysis and project managers’ need for detail, make time to attend this session.

Hope to see you there!
