Oracle OpenWorld 2011, The Story So Far … ! image

It doesn’t matter how often you’ve visited Oracle OpenWorld before, it remains an overwhelming experience every year! The enormous crowds (over 45,000 this year), the gigantic amount of information to absorb, all the networking, business opportunities, social events and meetups with old friends and new people, all the new ideas that start bubbling in your head by listening, dicussing, asking, answering, and presenting.
Mix all of that with a proper jetlag and you’ll get a feel of the spicy cocktail that OpenWorld is 🙂 Returning from OpenWorld gives you a tired yet really energetic feel!
Tuesday feels a bit like the calm before the storm. Everyone digested a lot of information and attended a lot of events these last few days and is now prepping for the final encore on wednesday with Larry’s keynote and the appreciation event that evening at Treasure Island.
To give you an idea of the things going on at OOW, I’ve compiled a short list of activities we participated in so far:

  • ACE Director Briefing at Oracle HQ. Product management gives a preview of the things to be announced at OpenWorld and presents roadmaps of Oracle’s products and tools.
  • BPM and SOA Partner Advisory Council. Every year Jürgen Kress organizes a partner council at OOW in which product management present a detailed roadmap for BPM and SOA products such as Oracle SOA Suite, Oracle BPM Suite, Oracle Enterprise Repository, AIA, and so on. Partners are encouraged to provide feedback for product improvement. It’s good to see that the Oracle products in this space such as OSB and SOA Suite are mature and future versions will build on the same programming models and will be made even more stable.
  • SOA & BPM Partner Social Event. This year Jürgen took us eBiking in San Francisco and Sausalito. Beautiful weather, beautiful scenery, and a lovely dinner at Sausalito. Excellent event. This was followed up by the SOA & BPM Community Reception at Gordon Biersch later this week. Again a great event. And on behalf of the Dutch, thanks for the “active community” award 🙂

We have a strategic focus on oracle fusion middleware including Oracle SOA Suite. Getting this SOA specialization re-assures customers that XTRON is geared up and committed to deliver. This would also enable our customers to confidently work with a great company and people who are certified, specialized and committed for great quality.” said Jag Puttanna, CEO of XTRON.

Why did XTRON decide to become SOA specialized?image

SOA specialization gives a unique positioning to differentiate our services among the Oracle partners. XTRON is among the first 13 partners in North America to achieve SOA specialization.

Can you describe the marketing activities with Oracle?
We have used various marketing kits for lead generation activities. We saved significant time and efforts to launch new campaigns.

How did you team with Oracle around the sales activities?
Sales alignment is the ultimate key behind our success. Our business development team is aligned with regional channel and sales managers. We also had our presence at various events like Special Interest User Group (SIG) etc.

Did you get Oracle support to train your consultants in the Oracle SOA Suite?
Oracle competency portal has been extremely useful to train our consultants. Prerecorded webinars and guided learning path has been the key behind implementation exams. Our consultants also participated at various OTN developer day and live virtual classes.

What are the next steps for XTRON?
We are looking forward to develop competency in newer offerings like CEP, Webcenter and Application Grid. Exalogic is another exiting area to begin and explore. We would continue to invest and strengthen our relation with Oracle.

Presentation abstract

We either use public clouds, for example Amazon EC2, most times for training or development purposes. These environments are only used for a limited time frame. The second cloud models are private clouds, used by corporations in their own datacenters to increase the utilization of their servers across multiple applications.

Today, we use either private or public clouds for certain use cases. To enable a wider adoption of business solutions, hybrid clouds will be the future model. Key will be integration, as well on the data level, the service level and the process level. Processes might start in a private cloud continue in a public cloud and will be completed in a private cloud.

For example, a rental car company (RYLC) starts a promotion for convertibles on their SaaS solution, in their legacy system new promotion and price is added to the financial system. A customer rents the promotional convertible in the public cloud online store. The order is processes and billed from the private cloud system. In this case SOA will be the key enabler for:

-SOA Integration: Integration on all levels will be key, to integrate data, services and processes between legacy systems, private cloud systems and public cloud systems to hybrid systems.
-BPMN process change: Processes based on BPMN 2.0 across hybrid clouds can be adopted by the business owner to respond on flexible business requirements.
-Middleware and SOA Governance enable atomic, loosely coupled participants.

With the RYLC example we will demonstrate many examples in a show case using various technologies including open source. Lastly we will discuss, swarm computing, a future cloud solutions. Today cloud systems are often limited to a small number of use cases e.g. test system or training systems. For a wider business adoption more intelligent systems are required. Meta data and ontology’s will be the enabler for intelligent systems which interconnect with each other.
