Although a good number of us Oracle OpenWorld 2016 (OOW) attendees are still recovering from the madness last week, it's time to get back to work. The OOW attendance figures are flying in and some are very interesting. It's time to have another conversation about FCCS (Financial Consolidation & Close Cloud Service).

OOW16: Day 5 – Conclusion & Summary
Thursday was the last day of the conference. In some ways I was sad to part from my friends and in other ways I was glad to return home. This week felt longer than your usual conference week and it seems like I've been away from home for at least a month. Today was a … Continue reading OOW16: Day 5 – Conclusion & Summary
OOW16: Day 4 – Concert Night
Breakfast + Kscope17 Planning Meetings It was a very quick sleep the night before, so I was up only a handful of hours after the previous late night. Luckily, the day started at Mel's Diner with back-to-back Kscope17 planning meetings. Mel's was the perfect breakfast joint after a night of heavy partying. Yum. Booth Duty … Continue reading OOW16: Day 4 – Concert Night

OOW16: Day 0 – Something Wicked This Way Comes
I'm calling today "Day 0", as it's the day before OOW and nothing is really planned for Saturday. Exhibitor booths get built, conference goers check in, and OOW begins to really descend upon the city. It's the 1-day buffer before the formal conference starts. I'm grateful for "buffer" days. I don't travel well anymore so … Continue reading OOW16: Day 0 – Something Wicked This Way Comes
OOW16: Day -1 EPM Update

OOW16: Oracle EPM Cloud Sessions
There are so many sessions at the largest annual Oracle conference in the world. And it's crazy how many cloud sessions there are - I heard that over half of the sessions this year are cloud-related. As promised, I've included a list of educational sessions below for the EPM/EPM Cloud folks to consider (excuse any … Continue reading OOW16: Oracle EPM Cloud Sessions
