Oracle Exec Shares Predictions on Information Management

Oracle Corp. President Charles Phillips to speak about the future of enterprise information management, followed by expert panel discussion On February 12th, a panel of enterprise technology and wireless superstars will take the stage to talk about the future of information management. Charles Phillips, President of Oracle Corp. will kick off the program with a keynote presentation: "It's always been, continues to be, and will always be about information and information management." Phillip's presentation is a part of "Exploring the Future of Enterprise Systems," a live satellite broadcast from Atlanta presented by the MIT Enterprise Forum of Atlanta (MITEF) in collaboration with the Oracle Applications User Group, Southeastern Software Association, and the Metro Atlanta Chamber of Commerce's Technology Marketing Council. With the volume of information growing exponentially, companies must find ways to manage, process and deliver that information effectively.

This discussion and panel will address ways to manage information and will advise how to differentiate burned-out buzzwords from technologies and methodologies that will form the bedrock of enterprise computing of the future. As a business key asset, information must be sorted, shared and analyzed so that it enables better business decision-making. This program will focus on technologies that do just that, and will include discussions around newly-developing computing and management paradigms such as virtualization and cloud computing. Following Charles Phillip's keynote address, moderator, Susan Hoffman of Georgia Public Broadcasting will be joined by a panel of experts including Eran Gil, VP Business Development of Cloud Sherpas and Matt Trevathan, Solutions Architect/Master Inventor, IBM Interactive.
