Istanbul NOV 5-9
Wednesday, NOV 7 - It is raining outside and I am sitting in my hotel
room (#106) in Istanbul and create my first blog entry. Today this blog
was enabled and I am excited to have the ability to share my (first)
thoughts with the EMEA JDE Partner Community.
I am here in Istanbul because we are currently running the JDEdwards
PreSales University Event series. This PreSales University is an
established event series which we deliver the fifth time now and the
first time in the ECEMEA region. Delegates value the openness and
competence from the Product Strategy and Product Development Team from
Denver and India. Together with the regional Oracle PreSales team we had
very valuable discussions around product features and functions and
about the business value of the new delivered applications and tools.
Additionally the event provides endless opportunities to exchange ideas
with other JD Edwards Partner and the Oracle PreSales Team. With its
focus on sharing and learning, best practice, user experience and
transforming technologies, delegates will leave this event with an
abundance of new ideas and best practices to try for your coming
projects and existing customer implementations. A day out of the office
gives delegates a chance to gain a new perspective on their business
processes. Everybody sees better ways of working just by being immersed
in an environment where the focus is on using products more effectively.
Apps Track: Highly concentrated participants in Istanbul listening to
Jeff Erickson presenting the news about OneView Reporting. Jeff: We
believe “The things you said”.
The event is organized into two tracks, one for Apps and one for Tech.
Everybody was able to learn new features and functions and how to
position this products. The focus was on the new Apps release 9.1 and
Tools Release 9.1.2 and their Value Propositions. For all topics
hands-on exercises has been given to the participants. Even very
experienced senior consultants did learn a lot from this event. In total
we have 55 people registered and we still have some more content to
deliver.
By the way: Istanbul is a nice place to be. I already booked my next
trip to this beautiful city. In two weeks we deliver the JD Edwards
EECIS Executive Forum again in Istanbul. Once again a tough Agenda. I
will let you know if I had the ability to have a walk outside and see a
bit more of this beautiful city. At least I expect to have a different
room number.
Many greetings
