Welcome to 2018 for the ShortenSpot readers. This year is looking like another exciting year for the Oracle Utilities Application Framework and a new direction for the blog overall. In the past the blog has been a mixture of announcements and some advice with examples. Whilst it will still provide important technical announcements, this year we plan to have lots and lots of exciting advice with lots of example code to illustrate some amazing features you can use in the cloud, hybrid and on-premise implementations to inspire you to use the facilities provided to you.
This year we also will be doing a major refit to all the whitepapers including rationalizing the number of them (it was fast approaching 50 at one stage) and making them more relevant with more examples. This will also remove the duplication those whitepapers have with the online documentation which is now the main source of information for advice for implementations. The whitepapers will act as more supplemental materials and complementary to the online documentation.
The next few months are the busy months as we also prepare for the annual Edge conferences in the USA, APAC and Europe which will include a technical stream with a series of sessions on major technical features and some implementation advice. This year we decided to make it more beneficial for you by focussing on key implementation challenges and offer advice on how to solve implementation issues and business requirements. Each session will talk capabilities, offer general direction and offer advice garnered from our cloud implementations and advice from our implementations/partners gather over the years. Hopefully you can back from the sessions with some useful advice. The details of the 2018 Oracle Utilities Edge Customer Conference Product Forum are located at this site.
This year looks like an amazing year and I look forward to publishing a lot more often this year to benefit us all.
