Collaborate18

Collaborate18 was a tremendous event for us this year.  Besides the once-a-year opportunity it provides to meet with many of our clients and consultants, it feels like our branding as a staffing company providing consultant-level expertise in the JD Edwards marketplace is really resounding with our clients.

We came home with several new openings, a new strategic partnership with a large Oracle Business Partner and many, many leads to pursue this year.

As an aside, I was also able to visit SuiteWorld, the NetSuite conference, which was running concurrently with Collaborate the week we were in Vegas.  Compared to the Collaborate venue, I have to admit the energy and vibe in their exhibitor area was quite electric.  No doubt, there is a lot of buzz as vendors scramble to align with Oracle's Cloud strategy.

I think it is a great time for client's using ERP platforms, for consultants that run them and for companies like mine that focus in these technologies.  On the one hand, you have a loyal customer base that is relying on the established ERP platforms.  At the other end of the spectrum, there is disruption and innovation happening with the Cloud tools.  I suspect for the foreseeable future that a blend of both kinds of solutions will give the most functionality and leverage to the end-client.

We have a number of openings (contract and perm) which I have pasted below.  You can also review our openings here.
