Greetings!
This year has been exceptionally busy! We've been back and forth across the country working on Release 12 Upgrade Readiness Assessments and Release 12 First Pass Upgrades. We've been working on our books that share what we've learned, and we've been hitting the conference scene, where we've been presenting and hearing from other users about their experiences preparing to upgrade to Release 12.
By the way, paper submissions for RMOUG are due September 21st, and Collaborate 2012 are due by October 14th. We're working on ours.
In the coming months, we're offering training, more books, and more presentations: We have openings in October to work on Release 12 Upgrade Readiness Assessments and First Pass Upgrades. So if you're ready to upgrade to Release 12, look us up! We have three classes coming up soon that are filling up quickly - don't miss your chance to attend: Sincerely,
Mike Swing

| What We Do | |
 TruTek is a national leader in technical and functional Oracle training and consulting. We also offer permanent placement services for part-time and full-time employees. We offer Oracle database and E-Business Suite consulting, training and remote services. We have a state of the art training facility in Salt Lake City, Utah.
If you have 5 or more people interested in a class, we can also bring classes to your company if you would like onsite training. And if you've wanted to take a training class, but were intimidated by the crowds, we also offer "Personal Training" for certain classes, as well as online training.

Assessments, First Pass Upgrades, Books, Classes, Consultants... What Haven't We Got? | |
We've gone to a lot of effort coming up with an assortment of ways to help you get your Oracle E-Business Suite Environment upgraded to Release 12. Check out our offerings:
TruTek Release 11i Extended Support Mandatory Patching Assessment - Ugh. We'll read all those readmes, create the big spreadsheet, and map out what patches you need to apply to meet Oracle's Minimum Baseline Requirements for Release 11i Extended Support.
TruTek Release 12 Upgrade Readiness Assessment - We review your entire environment and prepare a report describing whether you're ready to upgrade to Release 12, and if not, what you need to do to get there.
TruTek Release 12 First Pass Upgrade - We come onsite with our books and our spreadsheets, and we work with your DBAs to run through a First Pass Upgrade from Release 11.5.10.2 to Release 12. At no time do we touch the keyboard - this is a hands on learning experience for your folks. We're just the guides who help make it happen. If there's time, we also include your functional leads in the prerequisite steps and post upgrade steps.
TruTek Release 12.1.3 Books - They say the technical part of the Release 12 upgrade is the easy part; it's the functional part that's hard. Check out our new Release 12.1.3 books, as we're mapping out the steps.
Release 12 New Features Classes - our functional consultants teach these classes, so they have plenty of hands on experience with the real issues.
Release 12 Consulting - Been there, done that. Give us a call if you'd like consulting from the Oracle Upgrade Experts. |
| Come Join Us at Oracle Open World in San Francisco | |
 Mike Swing will be at Oracle OpenWorld in San Francisco, October 2-6. If you're looking for a sympathetic ear, send us an email or give us a call at 801 486-6655 and set up some time while you're at the conference. Mike can walk you through his take on the upgrade, and will be happy to share a copy of his book the little r12.1.3 upgrade essentials for managers and team members. . Many people have commented on the startling resemblance between Mike and Oracle's guest performer, Sting. To avoid confusion, Mike promised to leave his very cool leather jacket at home, and to resist the urge to belt out a song. |
