The Oracle Applications Virtual Trade Show on 9:30-13:00 GMT – 17th November 2009
Smart companies know that corporate excellence is the new hallmark of competitiveness. That means managing your operations more efficiently, embracing transparency and sustainability in all your business practices, and delivering breakthrough innovation where and when it matters most.
New Times Demand a New Strategy
In the wake of the financial crisis, businesses around the globe are being called upon to redefine their role in society, rebuilding trust and restructuring operations from the ground up to meet our planet’s most pressing problems.
Join Oracle and Partners for our Virtual Trade show to understand why corporate excellence is redefining competitiveness.
The Presentations
There will be four presentations over two hour-long sessions – so delegates can attend one presentation per session before making use of the networking facilities and chat rooms for the remainder of the event. Presentations will be available On Demand for 3 months after the live event.
Presentations will last 30 minutes followed by Q&A for a further 30 minutes.

Smart Strategies for the Recovery: Customer Relationship Management
The pressures of the recent economic situation and new disruptive technologies have changed customer behaviour and expectations. On one hand this has created opportunities for the organisations that can best manage customer relationships during the recovery, but it also represents a fundamental challenge for those organisations that have not adapted to the needs of this ‘new customer’.
This presentation will highlight a number of strategies that an organisation can implement in order to meet these challenges, and how Oracle’s CRM solutions are the enabling technology for making this possible.
The session is a ‘must-see’ for any business executive, (private or public sector), needing to understand how their organisation can rapidly implement customer treatment strategies to achieve goals with respect to customer loyalty and satisfaction, service effectiveness and efficiency, and improved sales productivity, revenues and margins.
Enterprise Performance Management: The Next Competitive Edge
Top performing organisations are able to free up $2.9 billion more in working capital than the typical Global 1000 organization. But, as Accenture pointed out, the winning companies during the last downturn did not just cut costs; they cut the right costs. To do this requires companies to be smart, agile and aligned.
You need financial and business insight - and to share it with all parts of the company and beyond to ensure stakeholder investment.
You need to monitor continuously - and if you do so effectively, you can see opportunities and problems and take action on them.
You need to plan flexibly - focusing on rolling forecasts that are updated frequently to keep your plan in line with current business conditions.
You need to re-think your strategy - using financial modelling to identify where to invest and divest, and using profitability management to focus on your most profitable customers, products, markets and activities.
And if you can do all this, you can achieve what we call management excellence – the next way to deliver your competitive advantage. To hear how in more detail, join this session on the seven imperatives to achieving smart performance management, and take away some clear actions for your company to achieve that competitive edge.
Smart Cities: Public Sector Presentation
With tax revenues and budgets down as a result of recession and citizen expectations continuing to rise, leaders in urban public service provision need to think now about how to make the move to more joined up, citizen-centric service.
Many local authorities are already beginning to consolidate services and take the first steps towards services that are built around the citizen needs – and are more cost effective, efficient and transparent as a result.
At Oracle, we want to facilitate the debate about the future of service delivery in cities: to start to help public service leaders understand exactly what this future of integrated service provision looks like, what the benefits will be and how to take the right steps forward. This session will set out a vision of urban public service delivery based on a single platform that brings together all channels and departments to show how IT can be utilised to tackle the challenges of today and tomorrow.
