Enterprise Architect Guru John Zachman has been studying Enterprise Architecture for 30 years. In his presentation, “Enterprise Architecture, Straight from the Shoulder,” he will include a brief overview of the Framework for Enterprise Architecture which establishes a context for defining what must be done to rectify the problems of the past and set a proper course for the future. Zachman will also make the case that architecture is the foundation for managing modern enterprises and will develop the engineering logic for integration, usability, reusability, flexibility, interoperability, seamlessness, alignment, reduced time to market, user-friendliness and quality.
At Oracle, we speak with customers every day and Fusion Applications are always a hot topic. In this session, we will deliver straight answers to the top questions and concerns on the mind of our customers. If you are wondering what is in Fusion Applications, how the development is progressing or simply how you should plan for the future, this session is for you.
Extend Your Oracle Applications and Satisfy Your Unique Business Needs with Oracle Fusion Middleware Oracle Fusion Middleware is a market leader in application server, business process management, business intelligence, identity and access management, and user interaction. This super session describes how Fusion Middleware 10g can help customers extend current Oracle Application suites to maximize their investments, as well as support custom application development to satisfy their unique business needs. In addition, the session previews the major themes and capabilities of Fusion Middleware 11, Oracle's next generation middleware and the foundation of Fusion Applications.
Database Administrators -- Guardians of the Enterprise Enterprises face ever increasing pressure to enhance the security of their information systems. Driven by legislation and regulation, as well as the growing public demand for protection against the risk of privacy loss, many large organizations struggle to satisfy new stringent security requirements and policies in complex preexisting application environments. Fortunately, Oracle database and middleware technology can both accelerate and reduce the cost of satisfying internal and external security demands. These technologies give database administrators additional opportunities to contribute to the enterprise and reaffirm their role as guardians of the enterprise’s critical information assets.
Top-Down Application Management - The New management Imperative to Bring Together Application Owners, IT Operations and Infrastructure Experts Enterprise Applications automate key business processes and provide factual information for effective decision-making. The availability and performance of these applications is critical to achieving business productivity gains. Whether custom-built or pre-packaged, these applications are built on modern architectures including SOA and grid computing. Increasingly, application owners and infrastructure management teams need to work together to ensure application and/or service availability regardless of system availability. In this session, Oracle experts will discuss how Enterprise Manager enables business owners and IT operations and how infrastructure experts can use top-down application management to deliver the best quality of service to their users at the lowest cost. This session will show you how Enterprise Manager's unique top-down application management approach can enable you to start from Service Level Management and be able to diagnose availability and performance issues, manage configuration changes, and remediate problems in an automated way in your IT environment. Women in Technology Panel and Networking Lunch Listen and learn from the experiences of several women who have achieved prominence in the technology field. This panel will include women from several different companies and in various technical positions, who will share lively stories and advice based on their experiences working in technology. Whether you are a woman who is interested in hearing about others' experiences or a man wanting to learn more about women's experiences working in a male-dominated field, this session is open to all. So, come ready with your questions or comments to discuss with the panelists over a networking lunch held after the session. This event is co-sponsored by IOUG and Quest.
