Podcast Show Notes: SOA and Cloud – Where’s This Relationship Going? By Bob Rhubart

June 22, 2014 Leave a comment

ArchBeat Podcast Opinions vary on the relationship between service oriented architecture and cloud computing. Some say SOA is essential to the cloud. Others say cloud is entirely possible without SOA. In this three-part program, three members of the Masons of SOA, the group behind the Industrial SOA article series, offer their insight about the issue.

The Panelists
(Listed alphabetically)

  • Jurgen Kress, Oracle EMEA Alliances and Channels, founder of the Oracle SOA and BPM community, the Oracle WebLogic Partner Community, and the global Oracle Partner Advisory Councils.
  • Hajo Normann, SOA / BPM Lead for ASG at Accenture, Oracle ACE Director.
  • Guido Schmutz, Technology Manager for SOA/BPM and Architecture Board at Trivadis, Oracle ACE Director.

The Conversation

  • Listen to Part 1 (program #244): What is the relationship between SOA and Cloud Computing? How is that relationship changing? Is the Cloud changing SOA?
  • Listen to Part 2 (program #245): What effect does the ease of acquiring services in the cloud have on the existence of development silos? What role can SOA principles play in bridging those silos?
  • Listen to Part 3 (program #246): Many services suffer from poor architecture, say these experts. There is a better way.

Hello Partners! We’ve also just moved Partners to https://demo.oracle.com (See announcement).

GSE is very pleased to announce the availability of Enhanced Oracle B2B Demo. The demo showcases creation of Oracle B2B documents, channels and agreements. It also includes integration of Oracle B2B with Oracle Business Activity Monitoring (BAM) and end to end integration with Oracle E-Business Suite.

Did you miss the Amis Oracle UX event in the Netherlands? Here are the slides of the Amis UX Event

June 15, 2014 Leave a comment

1956743_624738347594941_642387630_o[1]TELL US YOUR MOBILE STRATEGY: Take our survey on mobile use and mobile strategy for business. Check the Voice of User Experience, or VoX, blog to see how you can share your perspective  about mobile use with Oracle’s Applications User Experience team. Please complete the survey before March 28.

USER EXPERIENCE SPECIALIST ROLE: We now have a UX Guided Learning Path live on the Oracle Partner Network. Oracle has just created a new User Experience Specialist role for Oracle Cloud Partners to better enable them to sell the Oracle Applications Cloud.  It is composed of a guided learning path targeted at sales and pre-sales roles to learn about Oracle’s investment in UX for cloud, and how to position the benefits.  The guided learning path and associated assessment is available online via OPN.
HARVARD TEAMS UP WITH UX DIRECT: Read about how OUAB member Harvard University uses UX Direct for their new PeopleSoft Campus Solutions  in this post on the VoX blog.  UX Direct helps partners and customers build in user experience best practices, using the same methods that the Oracle Applications User Experience team uses for Oracle software. Harvard is a member of the Oracle Usability Advisory Board (OUAB), which is also one of the Oracle Applications User Experience team’s programs.
DOING OUR HOMEWORK: Head to the Voice of User Experience, or VoX, blog for a post on how “New Oracle developers get a taste of Raspberry Pi.” By holding occasional hack days, Oracle’s own developers get a chance to play around with new, or new-to-them, technology and think about how to apply that technology to the business world and its users. Then check in at the AppsLab for a post on how some of the Oracle Applications User Experience developers applied Raspberry Pi for a project of their own in “New Robot Arm Hotness,” an example of how the innovation is always ongoing.
WEARABLE TECHNOLOGY USER EXPERIENCE: Check the Usable Apps blog for a new post about a wearables jam held recently for developers on the Oracle Applications User Experience team, where participants took their cue from Mickey Mouse, in “Learning to Build a Wearables User Experience from Mickey Mouse.” Hear more of the story (and check out author Ultan O’Broin’s fuzzy ears) in “It’s Not How You Wink, It’s How You Work,” on the User Assistance blog.
GAME-CHANGER FOR FINANCIALS DEPARTMENT: Oracle’s Ultan O’Broin takes a look at how Oracle Social Network can improve the user experience for financial applications users in “How to Chat Up an Accountant Safely: Social Networking in the Finance Department,” on the Usable Apps blog.
