Metaformers Chosen to Present Four Sessions at 2008 Oracle OpenWorld Conference in Worldwide Vote
August 11, 2008
McLean, VA
Metaformers Inc. announced today that it has been elected in a worldwide vote to lead four sessions at Oracle OpenWorld 2008, to be held September 21-25 in San Francisco, CA.
“Metaformers looks forward to the opportunity to present at the OpenWorld conference in September,” said company president Ed Bouryng. “OpenWorld is the largest Oracle conference in the world and our experts will be part of a select few, elected to provide best-practice industry guidance. It is a tribute to our team and a tribute to how others see our industry leadership.”
To select leaders for the Oracle Mix sessions, Oracle conducted a worldwide survey of industry professionals. More than 230 topics were submitted and after nearly two months of voting the 25 topics with the most votes were selected for the agenda.
Metaformers session topics are:

Andrew Beck, Senior Solution Architect, Metaformers
In this session, Matt McCaskey, Project Manager for the School District project, and Andrew Beck, Senior Solutions Architect from Metaformers, discuss their experience in optimizing Oracle's PeopleSoft Time & Labor.

Do You Have the SWAT to Get Your Highest ROI On Your Next Upgrade?
Wednesday, September 24, 2008 / 1:00 – 2:00pm / Moscone West, Room 2016
J. Renee Mustafa, Systems Support Manager, City of Los Angeles
Christina Caporale, Vice President, Solutions, Metaformers
When a cookie-cutter project approach isn’t enough, a SWAT team can be the difference between success and failure. This session will give participants the warning signs indicating it’s time to engage a SWAT team, highlighting strategies, roles, and success factors. The City of Los Angeles will describe why it chose a SWAT approach and how it led to a successful decision to upgrade the City to Oracle's PeopleSoft 9.0.
Implementing Pro Card Functionality for Immediate ROI
Thursday, September 25, 2008 / 9:00 – 10:00am / Moscone West, Room 3007
Kyna Koch, Commissioner of Finance and Administration, Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government
Don Wynn, Solution Architect, Metaformers
Koch and Wynn will explain the keys to gaining immediate ROI from a PeopleSoft Pro Card implementation, along with experiences from a successful implementation for a local Government. When properly implemented, Pro Card can reduce the workload in both Purchasing and Accounts Payable, reduce the need for Petty Cash accounts and the management burden they represent, help better manage travel-related expenses, and increase the convenience for employees who must make small routine purchases. PeopleSoft Pro Card provides immediate ROI without sacrificing control and traceability.
