Oracle Support Via Sales Consultants

The local Oracle Sales Consultants have formed an “Oracle Sales Consultant Support Team” that will help answer our questions and provide insight on future product development.

 

As internal employees, Oracle sales consultants have access to informative documentation, presentations, resources, etc. that are not published on any web site.  Oracle is happy to share this information with us - all we have to do is ask!!  This is our chance to build stronger relationships with our local Oracle representatives and gain insight into Oracle and Oracle Applications.

 

Craig Mikus, a local sales consultant, is spearheading this initiative. If you have any questions or comments, please contact Craig via email at craig.mikus@oracle.com or 770.551.3343.

 

Also, Craig is interested in your feedback regarding current and future product information/education.  What modules (or product families like CRM, Business Intelligence, Supply Chain, Financials, Manufacturing, etc.) do you want to learn about most?  Based on your responses, we will work with Craig for future presentations and Oracle development insight.
