Slides from a webinar where the Oracle Applications User Group (OAUG) Endeca Special Interest Group (SIG) team discussed what we think will be interesting and important at Collaborate 2015! During this webinar, SIG leadership provided a review of what we think are the “short list” of key product and case study sessions for Oracle Endeca Information Discovery (OEID), including the Oracle E-Business Suite Extensions for Oracle Endeca) and Oracle Commerce. We also covered some Oracle highlights and trends that we think will be a focus at the conference. Finally, if you’re new to Collaborate – or even if you’re a repeat attendee - we shared some of our insider tips on how to make the show as productive and as fun as possible! Collaborate 2015 is the largest meeting of Oracle user groups representing the full family of Oracle business applications and database software. The conference is co-hosted by the Oracle Applications Users Group (OAUG), Independent Oracle Users Group (IOUG), and Quest International Users Group (Quest). More information is available at: https://collaborate.oaug.org/. The Oracle Application User Group (OAUG) Endeca Special Interest Group (SIG) was formed to allow users to share information, best practices and the use of Oracle Endeca modules, including Oracle Endeca Commerce, Oracle Endeca Information Discovery and Oracle E-Business Suite Extensions for Oracle Endeca. Through the SIG, users have access to education and training programs and may provide feedback to Oracle by recommending product enhancements and influencing future versions of the software. If you are interested in participating in the SIG, please join the membership at our web site at http://endecasig.oaug.org/ or at our LinkedIn group at http://www.linkedin.com/groups/Oracle-Applications-Endeca-SIG-5070991.
