Oracle University Training Centre – Ljubljana, Slovenia

Cloud Computing has taken the IT world by storm and is transforming applications, databases, data centers and all aspects of computing as we know it. This seminar discusses meaningful strategies and implementation examples on how Oracle Data Consolidation (ODC), Oracle High Availability (OHR) and Oracle Disaster Recovery (ODR) can be undertaken as phased enterprise-wide Cloud Computing initiatives.

In addition to reducing the overall cost of the data footprint, ODC lays the foundation for the initial phases of designing and implementing a Cloud.

Management International Conference (MIC) is a traditional conference for scholars of management studies, welcoming participants from around the world, with broad and diverse research interests. Its aim is to present and discuss research that contributes to the sharing of new theoretical, methodological and empirical knowledge, and to better understanding of management practices.

The special focus of MIC 2011 is on the controversial issue of whether, and how, sustainability can really be “managed”. Sustainability has become one of the highest priorities on social development and corporate responsibility agendas, yet the concept remains highly contested. On the one hand, it has evolved from being a “limit to growth” of economies and businesses into a comprehensive alternative development paradigm and practice. On the other hand, it has also devolved into being a “commodity” that sells well on the market and that can be managed in ways similar to other business or social resources. Where on this broad range of possible meanings do we find our current personal, corporate and policy practices? Why is sustainability so fashionable? Is future sustainable and is there a future for sustainability?

Organized by: University of Primorska, Faculty of Management Koper

This course teaches the delegates how to confidently perform a security audit on an Oracle database. The course gets the delegates up to speed on the reasons Oracle databases are invariably insecure. Everyone is brought up to the same level in terms of where to look, what to look for and why.

The course shows how a security audit is planned, how to prepare yourself for it, your staff and your environments. The course is aimed at the fundamentals of how to review a database and why and does not focus on simply running tools. It is important to understand why something is an issue, to understand how to check that its an issue and importantly understand the implications in respect to your own databases and applications before using pre-built or commercial tools.

The course is up to date using all supported versions of Oracle from 9iR2 through Oracle 11g.

In an unfavorable economic situation, with stalled demand and limited access to credit, companies are looking for ways to cut costs. One of the typical steps is to reconsider, temporarily halt, or indefinitely postpone major IT projects. However, scrapping an implementation, development, or upgrade of a business intelligence (BI) system might prove to be a wrong decision because of the economic situation. BI can prove to be a key to success, enabling a company to use its valuable information to gain a competitive advantage. IDC’s annual Business Intelligence Roadshows bring together independent experts, analysts, industry leaders, and end-users to discuss latest trends, exchange experiences, share best practices, and look for ways to face the adverse impact of the global economic crisis using existing and emerging technologies.

IDC Business Intelligence Roadshow 2009 will focus on the following key topics:

• Pervasive BI
• BI as a service
• Data Warehousing in the cloud
• Open-source BI

This event is best suited for:

• CIOs, COOs
• Business Intelligence Managers
• Business Development Managers
• Application Architects
• Data Warehouse Managers
• IT Directors/Managers
• C-Level Executives
• Financial Executives
• Project Managers
• Technical Specialists

Today’s uncertain and turbulent economic times provide an opportunity for organizations to rethink their business processes and design a strategy that expresses them as reusable, interchangeable chunks of business logic – required by service oriented architecture (SOA), which enables IT to scale easily, interoperate more smoothly, and lighten in terms of manageability. The greatest appeal of SOA is in the adaptability it offers and the ability to proactively encounter changes in the market. The quick adaptation is also a key enabler of innovation in business models, and thus the industry continues its march toward services-based computing in a variety of forms, including Web 2.0 and mashups, software as a service (SaaS), and cloud-based services.
Increasingly more organizations today are convinced of the significant benefits of SOA – the flexibility, the cost efficiency, and the possibility of handling changes without delay. Delivering business agility without widescale system replacements is the key driver. Thus, one can see that many SOA pilot projects have moved toward real implementations in many organizations. IDC’s research shows that companies worldwide spent $3.6 billion on SOA-related software in 2007, and the growth is expected to continue. IDC predicts that, at the end of 2012, the global SOA market will exceed $14 billion.

IDC’s SOA Conference wants to support users in identifying SOA benefits for their business. Participants receive a practical overview and forecast on models, application potential, and implementation strategies for their individual IT infrastructure.

Who should attend:

• CFOs
• CIOs
• CTOs
• IT Manager
• System engineers
• Operations manager

An ever-growing amount of business information, the increasingly pervading perception of data as a key asset, and new requirements like mobility, as well as economic constraints and tightening compliance requirements, all contribute to intense and often conflicting pressures on IT departments. IT must ensure the integrity and security of data while enabling comfortable access to data anywhere, by any type of end-user terminal. Pressures are added to derive greater business value from investments and to increase operational efficiency and cost effectiveness of data storage. These can be achieved by better utilizing an existing infrastructure and through wise implementation of new technologies.
IDC’s Storage and IT Security Roadshow addresses such issues and provides an open platform for discussion between independent experts, industry leaders, and end-user organizations, as well as the sharing of experiences and best practices regarding the latest technologies available for storage and security.
