“Because COLLABORATE is run by the users, it is the best place to find real world experiences with using Oracle’s products. This information is found in the SIG meetings, the white paper and panel sessions and from just talking to other attendees throughout the conference. COLLABORATE provides a fantastic opportunity to find out how things really work instead of just how they are supposed to work.”
