Global attends Collaborate 11

Collaborate 11
4/10-4/11, Orlando, FL

OAUG/Quest/IOUG hosted Collaborate 11 at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida. 5,500 of the best and brightest in the Oracle industry attended including Global Software. Attendees had an opportunity to network with other Oracle users and obtain critical Oracle knowledge from education sessions. With over 1200 sessions, educators covered a variety of topics including “Setting the New Standard for Supply Management Applications”, “Managing Assets in a Global Environment”, and  “Enabling Your Chart of Accounts for Management Reporting and Compliance”.

Global Software was invited as a presenter and an exhibitor and our own Becky Kaufman, Caitlyn Ashton-Gill,Tonya Cannady, Jeff Alfers, Bjorn Beer and Amy Collier attended this event. We were lucky enough to host not one, but TWO sessions with two different customers. Becky Kaufman, Vice President, Client Services, hosted the session with Oracle customer, Orange Lake Country Club, entitled “Best Practices & Technologies for Building Microsoft Excel-Based Oracle Financial Report –Featuring Key Customer with Orange Lake Country Club”. The presentation discussed Orange Lake Country Club’s experience with Global Software’s Microsoft Excel-based automation tools.

Caitlyn Ashton-Gill, Product Information Manager, hosted the second session with customer, AAA, entitled “Best Practices and Technologies for Building Microsoft Excel-based JD Edwards Financial Reports, Featuring AAA Success Story”. The presentation covered how to users could access critical JD Edwards data with minimal IT intervention. It also recounted how AAA enhanced its overall spreadsheet experience using Microsoft Excel-based automation tools from Global Software.

This is the first time we’ve had the opportunity to host sessions with both AAA and Orange Lake Country Club. It was a great experience and we hope to work with them again soon!
