Kscope23, ODTUG’s user conference known for providing a rich opportunity for networking and education on Oracle technologies, is taking place June 25 – 29 in Aurora, CO. ODTUG is famous for great technical content including Oracle symposiums, hands-on labs, and 250+ technical sessions.

Perficient is proud sponsor of Kscope23. Visit us at booth #519 to meet with subject matter experts and thought leaders and learn how we’ve leveraged our extensive expertise in Enterprise Performance Management (EPM), Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), supply chain management (SCM), human capital management (HCM), and analytics to drive digital transformation for our customers. Unlike boutique firms that specialize in one or two offerings, our investment in and commitment to our Oracle partnership is extensive, with 15 Oracle specializations, integrated IP assets, and best practices gained from implementing Oracle solutions within our own company. We have delivered strategy and implementation for on-premises, cloud, and hybrid solutions to meet the unique needs of our clients. We also offer a post-implementation managed services offering.

We have eight speaking sessions at this year’s conference, on topics ranging from enterprise planning to financial close! Among Perficient’s sessions is a case study presentation with Boardwalk Pipelines.
