Denver, CO April 15, 2008 -- Collaborate 08 Conference (PRWEB)--April 15, 2008 -- http://www.topaztechnology.com[Topaz Technology will show Oracle users at the Collaborate '08 conference in Denver, Colorado how their solutions provide interoperability between Oracle line of business applications and Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007.

Collaborate '08, co-presented by Independent Oracle Users Group (IOUG), the Oracle Applications Users Group (OAUG) and Quest International Users Group (Quest), is designed to provide Oracle's global user group the biggest educational opportunity of the year.

"We will be demonstrating how organizations can help employees make better decisions by empowering them with the real time information they need in the form they need it," said Noam Topaz, founder and CTO of Topaz Technology. "By using SharePoint with Topaz Technology, organizations can rapidly implement a solution that otherwise would take months or years to complete."

The large number of organizations running Oracle® Fusion applications that also run Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 (MOSS) will no longer need to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars and months of lost opportunity costs to provide access to data for business decisions. Now a turn-key solution is available that extends data in these structured databases to the SharePoint environment within hours without the need to outsource to high price tag consulting groups.

Topaz Technology, lead by former Microsoft enterprise technology strategist Noam Topaz, is helping companies access data that has been locked inside business applications like SAP and Oracle.

Topaz Technology's activities at Collaborate '08 include:

• Partner Demo at the General Session featuring Kurt DelBene, senior vice president, Office Business Platform Group, Microsoft, Tuesday, April 15th, 2008 8:30 AM
• Live demonstrations Tuesday, April 15th 5:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m. in the Microsoft booth, # 763
• Noam Topaz will present on Thursday, April 17th in the Session "Microsoft Technology as a Growth Driver in the Oracle Space," 9:45 - 10:45am, Room 607

As an educational conference, Collaborate helps users of the full family of Oracle business applications and database software gain greater value from their Oracle investments. Created by and for customers, Collaborate offers an expert blend of customer-to-customer interaction and insight from technology visionaries and Oracle strategists.

Topaz Technology is a certified Oracle Partner participating in the Siebel CRM On Demand go-to-market initiative. Topaz is also a member of the Oracle Application User Group.

Topaz Bridge
Topaz Bridge business packages help organizations quickly and cost-effectively access information in line- of- business databases through out of the box solutions. Topaz Bridge conversion services automatically create Web services structures, connecting data from back-end systems such as Oracle and SAP, and enabling retrieval from a streamlined interface that enables write back access to the database.

IT administrators can extend the value of SAP and Oracle systems using Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS) technology without coding. The solution makes data retrievable through SharePoint in a short timeframe and provides access levels to be set by SharePoint administrators.

Topaz Employee Self Service
The first business package available from Topaz Technology is for human resources departments running SAP Employee Self Services (ESS) modules. An ESS solution can provide a means for employees to view and change their personal information including address, phone number, W-4, dependants, benefits elections, etc.

Topaz Bridge makes it easy to rapidly create a functional, customized ESS portal with built in templates that allow users and designers to experience greater functionality, flexibility and speed in a familiar SharePoint environment. Easier interfaces require less end-user training and help desk support. The service oriented architecture (SOA) solution does not require additional server infrastructure and network resources are not consumed.
