Greetings from OOW - SF, USA
With so much going on - its hard to find time to stop and type:
Last night our own Kakal (ES Head) presented his Hi-Tech Leaders Circle keynote: "Innovation Through Collaboration" - showcasing Infy thought leadership in what is arguably the most intensely competitive crucible today: the fickle, product-centric hi-tech marketplace. In the end, hi-tech companies that combine traditional and emergent technologies will be better positioned to create competitive advantage in the flattening world. Over 100 senior executives (a who's who of hi-tech) were present to hear these key messages - and did you note the big announcement by one of our key Oracle clients, Cisco? Collaboration tools (Jabber, Webex, etc) are expanding their markets ---immediate proof points that we are riding and defining the front edge of the next wave.
Our leadership hosted over 150 Infy clients, partners, and team members from around the globe to celebrate and thank all for the exceptional dedication and effort that has resulted in a thriving Oracle professional services powerhouse here at Infy and most importantly driven our clients success. Both Srinath Batni and Kakal warmly welcomed and thanked the group, and we enjoyed a brief respite from the hectic schedule of the conference to reflect on past, present, and future.
Back to Day 3 - the always engaging Larry Ellison will deliver the keynote today - watch for one final show update tomorrow before we pack up and head back to the field.

Greetings from OOW 2008! We are finally here in SF and the show is underway.
Key Themes
Green - Oracle has gone all out on the Green Theme: a Marketplace, targeted sessions, a green fashion show (?), and of course the mandatory green social events. Reference the earlier blogs on this topic - sustainability and "green" is here to stay on the agenda.
Election - A LOT of people are talking about the election and its potential impact on their business - James Carville and Mary Matalin gave last nights keynote. Their comments and insights effectively lead to the conclusion that the younger demographic and turnout will likely drive the outcome...but of course anything can happen between now and November.
Economy - in case you missed it this week, the economy is undergoing tectonic plate shifts. Nearly everyone here wants to know "have you seen anything change". Interestingly, I met someone from the IMF who is busily working away on a large transformation program...guess THEY don't have a liquidity issue!
Today has US swimming phenom Michael Phelps on tap, and day filled with over 15 Infy-sponsored meetings with customers, prospects, and Oracle. Time for a quick run and off to Moscone -
Chris
