What have i been up to this quarter

Hi folks

Apologies for not blogging for a while

It's been a few months since I posted but its been very busy with client confidential work

I've been spoken at two or three conferences (  Oracle Partner in Malaga, Northern Tech Sig ) , I've put forward some talks for Openworld ( who knows ! )  and might be accepted for the Middleware SIG  in July

I'm also on the Apps Tech committee now for UKOUG so we're looking at the state of the art and seeing what kind of presentations might reflect our members orientation

We are working closely with Oracle on the various cloud initiatives - you may not know it but Oracle have 119 cloud services ( as of writing there are 116 on cloud.oracle.com, and 3 not listed yet ( Werker, Moat and Netsuite )

So what kind of work has been going on :

Well We are recommending Engineered Systems and ODAs on the hardware side, and building solution architectures around those

we are building IAAS cloud solutions for those taking steps into the cloud

We are developing PAAS integration solutions ( ICS and MCS ) with Oracle internally, and with partners like Auraplayer

And lastly we are driving SAAS implementations with Oracle's Fusion Cloud

Out at the far end we are working with customers on IoT, Robotics/Automation, and Bots which is really cool technology

Really interesting year and we're talking to Oracle - they might want our presentations used to help other partners ( was also filmed by Oracle for some partner connect stuff last week )

so a really exciting quarter - promise to get back blogging soon.  I've submitted an article for Oracle Scene so maybe it will get picked up

See you soon
Chris
