“We’re thrilled to return to COLLABORATE and equally excited to host the maximum number of sessions possible,” said Tom Munley, vice president, Oracle National Business Unit, Perficient. “This enables us to present the wide array of services Perficient offers around Oracle’s extensive suite of cloud and on-premises applications and present the Oracle success story from one of our clients. As COLLABORATE attendees will see, our services enable clients to control costs and have an agile framework that allows them to remain competitive in the digital world.”
COLLABORATE 18, the annual technology and applications forum for the Oracle community, unites three independent Oracle users groups – the Independent Oracle Users Group (IOUG), the Oracle Applications Users Group (OAUG) and Quest International Users Group (Quest) – to educate and share best practices with Oracle business applications users.
