We have had some very successful events already this year, which include:

Creative Conditional Compilation – sponsored by Sage Computing Services

Scott Wesley of Sage Computing Services in WA presented on “Creative Conditional Compilation” in an evening timeslot in March. The change from a daytime to evening event had a very different vibe, harking back to the traditional “beer and pizza” get together. Scott commented on how well the beer was going down midway through the presentation, and everyone stayed around after the presentation for far longer than a daytime event. Expect to see one or two more evening events later in the year.

R12 Forum – sponsored by Prescience Technology

March saw us run the second of our “R12 Forum” invitation events, with a focus this time on patching, post-upgrade complexities and the sustainability of R12 solutions.  This event was conceptualised as a result of a number of similar organisations, all of which have been early adopters of Oracle’s R12 upgrade roadmap, expressing a strong desire to consult closely with each other with regard to issues, experiences and resolutions they had each encountered.  The event has now evolved into a National Conference Call and presentation, which we aim to run quarterly, for the forseeable future.  Interest has been strong from organisations seeking more information on the upgrade and re-implementation process … please let us know if you would like more information.

APEX Training - sponsored by Sage Computing Services

Both the 3 day beginner and 2 day advanced Oracle APEX training courses in April were well attended, and the feedback received has been very positive. The special discount we arranged through Sage Computing Services meant the more attendees, the cheaper the course became. Final pricing saw a saving of approximately 40% for each course – a great result.
