I have many years of experience with Oracle Database Administration and E-Business Suite Applications Administration. I've written and co-authored several books and articles about the E-Business Suite. I was the secretary of the OAUG Upgrade SIG for several years, I worked on the Connection Point R12.1 Upgrade Board, and I served on the board of the OAUG Database SIG. I'm a consultant for E-Business Suite database administration and applications system administration, focusing on Release 12 Upgrade Readiness Assessments and upgrades.
