Oracle OpenWorld is a four-day conference that includes product and
applications demonstrations, keynote speeches and roundtable discussions
from industry leaders, an exhibition hall featuring 250 Oracle partners,
and an Oracle user group forum.
For more than 13 years, BearingPoint and Oracle have combined
experienced resources to develop and provide customers with unique,
vertical solutions. An Oracle partner since 1995, a PeopleSoft partner
since 1993 and a Siebel partner since 1999, BearingPoint has completed more
than 2,000 Oracle, PeopleSoft and Siebel implementations and upgrades in 52
countries.
"BearingPoint offers a unique collaborative approach based on deep
industry and operational knowledge combined with significant systems
integration experience," said Robert Hershey, senior vice president of
BearingPoint's Technology Solutions. "BearingPoint has drawn upon its deep
vertical knowledge and its strategic relationship with Oracle to influence
the development of industry-focused solutions based on Oracle technology."
Some highlights of the Oracle-based industry solutions BearingPoint
will demonstrate at its OpenWorld Conference booth (#1624) include:
* BearingPoint's Corporate Performance Management solutions, including
predictive analytics, business intelligence, data management, business
process/change management and risk management applications, powered by
Oracle technology.

* ERP Optimization solutions, designed to leverage customers' core ERP
investment through integrating process and information between CRM,
Financial management, HCM and SCM modules, as well as verticalization
for professional services, leasing and add-ons such as field services,
EAM and case management.

* Fusion Technology Solutions, leveraging Service-Oriented Architecture
(SOA) for integration, composite applications, security and identity
management, collaboration and "Road to Fusion" planning tools.
Forrester Research revealed in a recent report that BearingPoint's SOA
offering received the highest score in "The Forrester Wave(TM): North
American SOA Integration, Q3 2006, Forrester Research, Inc., September
2006." According to the report: "BearingPoint's strong showing in this
evaluation is because its clients agree with most of its vision around
SOA: agility, cost containment, time-to-market, and strategic focus.
Few client references we interviewed were as well aligned to their
provider's vision as BearingPoint's. The success of SOA will ultimately
be determined by its business value, and BearingPoint is well
positioned for this business focus."
Highlighting BearingPoint's expertise in these areas, the company will
have a number of speakers and customers featured at Oracle OpenWorld:
* Greg Lomow, who will draw on his extensive experience helping clients in
the public sector to discuss "Using the Federal Data Reference Model in
a Service-Oriented Architecture." Session S283968: Sunday, October 22,
