Hello Reader, 

 

It's hard to believe we are halfway through 2009. As the dog days of Summer are in full swing and with the lingering talk on the television about the recession and a constant barrage of "doom and gloom", it can be difficult to think, "maybe it's not THAT bad!".

 

FMT has taken that stand and it seems to be working! We want to thank everyone for their steadfast position to continue training efforts and to stay on the cutting edge of technology. We feel certain once all this mess has passed, your organization will be ahead of the pack and standing strong compared to your competitors...and you will look tremendously smart!

 

Our Release 12 Bootcamps and Webinars are taking a small vacation but will start back up in September. We are sure you'll want to attend the Fall's free webinar series and the October Bootcamp in Michigan is shaping up to be very well received.  Visit our Web site for full details and registration discounts.

 

FMT Systems will be presenting Assessing BI Readiness in Your Organization at MOUS on September 24th in Detroit, Michigan The event is being hosted by the MI-OAUG. October proves to be exciting with FMT presenting a very exciting case study at Oracle OpenWorld...check our Web site for all the details! 

 

We hope you enjoy the information, tidbits and blogs we provide. We would love to hear your feedback, please send us a note on how we are doing at Marketing.

 

  

Kindest regards,

 

Faun deHenry

President/CEO

 

 

BPM Studio...What a GREAT Tool!

by Anne Ristau

 

bpmFor the past 20 (cough) plus years I have been designing software, processes, and implementing Oracle Applications.  Recently I was introduced to BPM Studio, software now owned by Oracle via the acquisition of BEA. Finally, I have found a tool that allows me to put down my pencil and paper!  Even better, I can retire Microsoft's Visio!
Admittedly, my initial reaction upon my introduction to BPM Studio was. "WHY?  We have been designing and documenting business flows for years, successfully... why now, why me, pick someone else, I am too busy and too 'old' to learn a new tool."
