ESS Attends Oracle OpenWorld to Promote Enterprise Sustainability Issues

September 22nd, 2008

I’ve just returned from a trip to China, where there are some new developments taking place in that market. I’ll be sharing details with you later; but for now, I’m really pleased to be in San Francisco to attend Oracle OpenWorld this week. Oracle is doing some exciting things at this year’s user conference, including launching an enterprise sustainability program called the Green Room. There is an entire track of Green Room sessions exclusively focused on sustainability, environmental stewardship and the business of green. ESS will be participating in several Green Room activities.

Here’s a list Green Room programs, including:

• The Green Room
• The Green Marketplace
• Empower the Green Enterprise Awards
• Ready. Set. Connect.

But wait, there’s more. Tomorrow, I am going to participate in a pair of presentations with Oracle senior executives on important sustainability issues: I’ll join Ed Abbo tomorrow morning to present a session entitled, Empowering the Green Enterprise; after lunch I’ll co-present with Hardeep Gulati on Environmental Health and Safety in the Context of Enterprise Applications. We’re pleased for the opportunity to share the stage with these respected IT experts.

Also, I’ll be on hand this afternoon to attend the inaugural “Empower the Green Enterprise” Award ceremony, where Oracle executives will recognize organizations that have successfully used information technology to achieve sustainable operations.

Finally, ESS is going to make a big announcement at OpenWorld on Tuesday. I’ll be blogging about the details shortly after the announcement. Suffice to say it’s a big deal and we’re all pretty excited about sharing the news with you.

If you are attending OpenWorld, I encourage you to stop by ESS’ exhibit booth at Oracle’s Green Marketplace at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, adjacent to the Moscone Convention Center. We look forward to seeing you here.
