Business Intelligence (BI) applications empower enterprise users with data to make better business decisions, but they can be challenging to build and operate. This webinar describes a highly available enterprise deployment architecture for Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition (EE) using Sun servers running the Solaris Operating System and Sun Storage 7000 Unified Storage systems.

ISV Engineering is hosting the 5th Israel OpenSolaris User Group Meeting in the Sun Israel Development Center (SIDC) on November 25th, 2009. Join us for drinks and pizza as well!

Two of the world's largest Oracle User Group gatherings are looming up on the event calendar.

First up from November 17-19 is Germany's Oracle User Group annual event (DOAG 2009) in Nuremberg. In addition to over 300 sessions, there's a keynote from Oracle SVP Andy Mendelsohn (Tuesday 17th @ 11:00am) and a demo theatre featuring Oracle Real Application Testing, Oracle Application Express, Oracle OLAP and more.

The Oracle OPN Days – Virtual Event is the start of something special. It marks the beginning of a more collaborative and engaged future for the Oracle PartnerNetwork. We believe the deeper relationships that we create as a result of this closer interaction will mean better and more profitable business for everyone.

Yesterday (28th October) Oracle, Enkitec and Method-R hosted an Oracle Database 11g Release 2 event in the recently opened Dallas Cowboy's Stadium in Texas. I've visited a few stadiums over the years, but this one is the most impressive I've seen yet. Not too surprisingly, the event was a sellout and I was delighted to be able to participate in such a wonderful setting (the post-game conference room no less).

OpenWorld is right around the corner and I look forward to seeing several of my friends, who are regulars at this conference. I also look forward to learning more about Fusion Middleware 11g, especially the new features to be included in future releases. And, I am told that Larry Ellison's keynote is not to be missed (wink, wink)!

Join us in Denver, Los Angeles and New Jersey

The RAC SIG, Oracle and IOUG are thrilled to present the hands-on event dubbed “RAC Attack!” at

This year IOUG Collaborate 09 will be held in Orlando, Florida. This conference is one of the three conferences I go to in the States. ODTUG Kaleidoscope is more towards developers, Oracle Open World is more about the latest and greatest of Oracle, where IOUG Collaborate is a bit a mixture of all Oracle technolgies and applications.

There are about 10 APEX Sessions, which allows me to watch some other things as well.

Last month, Innowave became one of only 59 Certified Advantage Partners based in the United States.

COLLABORATE 2009, the Technology and Applications Forum for the Oracle Community, will be held at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida from May 3, 2009 through May 7, 2009.

So I have started my own blog. Been thinking about doing it for a long time now, and have procrastinated it even longer (now that can't be, can it?).
