Heartland OUG Spring Conference is about to spring!

Join Vlamis at Heartland OUG's spring conference in Omaha, NE May 31 at Mammel Hall on the UNO campus for a deep dive Hands on Lab with OBIEE 11g and Map Views and Geospatial Analytics. You’ll be assigned your own Oracle Instance in the Amazon cloud. You can follow a step-by-step workbook that will walk you through exercises designed to showcase some of OBI 11g’s most unique and powerful features, or you can use your time to experiment, explore, and examine OBI 11g and not worry about breaking anything. The step-by-step exercises will cover such features as selection steps (advanced grouping, sorting, and filtering capabilities), hierarchical columns, prompts, dashboard design, and an extended lab on creating map views and leveraging the power of Geospatial analytics. The experts from Vlamis Software Solutions will be there to guide, assist, and pack as much technical information as possible into the allotted time.

The key to particpate in the lab is to register for it individually on the conference agenda site when you register for the conference.  Enroll early, as space is limited to 29 seats, and are held on a first come first serve basis. 

We look forward to seeing you there!
