Here&#8217;s the address to download the slides for today&#8217;s session. It&#8217;s in an hour&#8217;s time and the pressure is on, as last night I was awarded &#8220;UKOUG Inspiring Presentation 2010&#8243; for last year&#8217;s presentation (&#8221;A BI Reporting Roadmap&#8221;).

If you just want your FSG&#8217;s in BIP (with limited functionality) then the session we did at UKOUG last year will be helpful.



I&#8217;m preparing for my session at the UKOUG conference next week and wanted to refer to some slides I&#8217;d run last year. They weren&#8217;t on our blog, so I&#8217;m sorting that now. Here&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

Very little has said about whether any of BIP 11g&#8217;s new functionality will be integrated into e-Business Suite&#8230; I think we&#8217;ll have to wait for Fusion.

We&#8217;re not committed to your success… We&#8217;re passionate about it.



Years ago I challenged a board member of one of the world&#8217;s largest companies to give me one word to describe what his team should be. I suggested &#8220;passionate&#8221;.  He countered with &#8220;committed&#8221;.
He recently left his wife and children for another woman.

There are at least two dominant world views we could subscribe to.  One is that described by the myth of Sisyphus1 and the other is the story of Jacob as he wrestles with God.  Both stories are of potentially futile activities – but the outcome is significantly different.

There’s great news for FSG users and Discoverer users – you can emulate the functionality of these packages using BI Publisher.  Not only does this mean you get great output, but you apply some of the cool BIP functionality too (such as “bursting”).
