what an Oracle OpenWorld 2010 for our EMEA SOA Partner Community! Was there an award, keynote, webcast, reception… without the community! Personally I did not make it to San Francisco – but I got the message over the ocean:

eProseed Middleware Partner of the Year Geoff award 09.2010Winner: eProseed Belgium – Gold OPN partner eProseed was recognized for its success in demonstrating a deep understanding of Oracle Middleware technology consistently delivering business value from Oracle solutions in customer implementations, and its commitment to specialization.  eProseed was the first OPN partner in EMEA to implement solutions using Oracle Business Process Management 11g and Oracle Application Integration Architecture 11g), and to offer partner training on these Oracle technologies.  The company was also recently crowned Oracle Benelux Industry Partner of the Year 2010.  Geoffroy de Lamalle, CEO, eProseed, said, said, “We are delighted to win this award.  As a niche market player Oracle middleware has been of great strategic importance to us.  Twinning it with our value-added management services has allowed us to deliver more business value more quickly to the customer and empower users.  As a result, we have built up a solid track record of delivering tailor-made projects on time, and on budget, and that enable our clients to increase their business agility.  It is great to be recognized for this.” OOW10_E20Awards_075

Oracle ACE and Architect at Whitehorses in the Netherlands. Java Developer of the year 2009 by Oracle Magazin. Edwin is a (inter)national speaker and has a popular blog ( http://biemond.blogspot.com ) about ADF and SOA. I have worked for many years with JDeveloper, JHeadstart and in the past with Designer. I am an expert in ADF, JSF, messaging ( edifact / ebXML) , web services and tuning of the Application and Database server

Melvin van der Kuijl, The Future Group, Oracle Consultant
Many customers have a traditional, rigid architecture that isn’t agile enough to handle environmental change. Enhancements are very time-consuming and expensive. The time to market is above average but must be as short as possible. This session elaborates on how a customer successfully moved from a traditional Oracle Forms-based architecture to SOA with Oracle SOA Suite 11g. Using a top-down, business-driven approach, this company went from a canonical data model to a loosely coupled environment based on open standards such as WSDL, SCA, and BPEL. What were the drivers and challenges, where do you start, and–last but not least–what are the best practices? The presentation answers all these questions.
