AMOSCA’s ongoing commitment to the Oracle EPM & BI community continued with its sponsoring of the recent UKOUG APPS13 Conference. The event was held at the London Brewery on the 14th-16th October 2013 and was attended by over 1000 delegates. APPS13 brought together, for the first time, delegates from the full range of Oracle application communities; Oracle E-Business Suite, Hyperion & EPM, PeopleSoft, CRM, Business Intelligence, Applications Transformation.
The conference programme was rich and varied, and offered delegates a wide range of educational and informative sessions. The social evenings provided delegates with the opportunity to network with peers and colleagues and the exhibition hall offered a range of Oracle partner services and products for their consideration.
AMOSCA and its clients delivered a number of presentations, all of which were well attended and included:
