Oracle OpenWorld 2007: Thursday Dispatch
Although this years event was huge, and as such a bit of a jumble at times, I enjoyed it very much. I made many many new contacts this year, spontaneous hellos, introductions, business connections, and so on.
There is a *LOT* of new stuff going on in the Oracle space, what with various new acquisitions, and no one person probably understands it all.
I’ll also say that I ran into an incredible number of new terms which I like to think of as reframing, or looking at things in a new way. You might also call them buzzwords, so take your pick. Some you may have heard before, some appear in a new context, and some are old and familiar. At any rate go ahead, mull over them and digest:
- information fabric
- information as a service
- service oriented architecture
- what’s the cookbook for doing that?
- oracle by example
- business process management - from order to cash
- extreme transaction processing
- data virtualization
- coherence
- data masking
- it comes baked in or built in
- moving from reactive to proactive
- we can triage their problem
- the democratic, approachable, modern leader
- preintegrated
- comprehensive
- hot pluggable
- go around the corner to find the treasure of an idea
- drinking the open-source koolaid
So long Oracle OpenWorld, see you in 2008!!

It is so much fun to hear so many of these slogans once more. Most of these sound so much like what one used to hear during the dotcom years. Well… All I can say is that the world is infinitely more prepared now for what people were trying to accomplish then. I still say MySpace and FaceBook are just souped up Geocities
With hopes a fun time is had,
