June 6th Meeting
Hi Everyone,
We are happy to announce that we have lined up our next HROUG meeting for June 6th. System Efficiency, a solutions provider company has offered to come speak to us on service oriented architectures (SOA). At my request, the speakers are going to customize their presentation towards the Oracle/Peoplesoft products, however by utilizing the principals of SOA, there is a broad range of practical and profitable uses for this way of looking at busines needs. This presentation is highly recommended for everyone, especially those of us who have legacy applications and have a need to moderize the presentation of it.
Our meeting location will be at Info Tech Of Virginia, as they have offered to host us again. See below for address info.
