Kerdock Awarded Oracle Partner Sales Readiness Verification Certification

This week Kerdock was awarded the "Oracle Partner Sales Readiness Verification initiative" certification. As a result, Kerdock is recognized as Oracle's go to partner for BI & EPM in the TOLA Region. We are excited to receive this designation and look forward to continuing to work with the Oracle sales team.
The certification is not just handed to partners as they first have to be nominated by the Oracle Sales Team in your region and then the partner must pass an exam which included providing presentations and demos before a panel of Oracle sales executives.
Here is an Oracle press release that talks more about the program:

Bill Inmon at DOUG Meeting

Attended the DOUG - BI Forum yesterday at the Oracle Las Colinas office. Kerdock was the sponsor and it was a great turn out as one of the leading experts in data warehousing, Bill Inmon, spoke at the event. It was a treat to listen to Bill speak as he talked about the future of data warehousing. One of the main topics he discussed was the business value in capturing non structured data in corporate data warehouses and the next generation ETL tools which can handle various text data. It was a great time and I highly recommend people who are interested in BI and data warehousing that they begin to research these new and exciting topics.
