WTS and Oracle On Demand Host JD Edwards Customers at Oracle OpenWorld

Reception provides opportunity for customers to engage Oracle Vice Presidents

Seattle, Washington, November 17, 2006 — WTS, Inc., a leader in application hosting for JD Edwards enterprise software, announced the completion of their annual Oracle OpenWorld customer event. The invitation-only receptions were hosted by WTS and Oracle On Demand to provide JD Edwards EnterpriseOne and World customers an introduction to the benefits of On Demand services including hosting, remote applications management, disaster recovery, and complementary product support. An On Demand solution from WTS delivers Oracle’s business software to JD Edwards customers including managing IT infrastructure, software, security, guaranteed service levels, and IT governance—allowing customers to focus on their core business.

The featured guest during the first evening was Mr. John Schiff, Vice President and General Manger for Oracle’s World software. On the second evening, WTS hosted Mr. Lenley Hensarling, Executive Vice President of Application Product Strategy for Oracle’s EnterpriseOne software. Both Oracle executives provided insight on their respective products direction and guidance for application issues that are customer specific. Customer and business partner attendees were encouraged to ask these Oracle development executives about their product needs while networking with WTS customers, employees, and Oracle On Demand representatives.

“Our customer events are scheduled with the goal of providing one-on-one access to Oracle’s senior leadership,” said Greg Giordano, WTS Vice President of Sales and Marketing. “The size of an OpenWorld conference can be daunting and impersonal when you are in a large conference room with hundreds of other customers. WTS was able to deliver a unique, personalized setting that provides an opportunity for our attendees to review their JD Edward solutions with Oracle. We were very pleased with the large turnout both evenings.”

Oracle OpenWorld is the world's largest event dedicated to helping JD Edwards customers understand and harness the power of information. Attendees have the opportunity to connect with peers, products, and trends at the forefront of business and information technology, including On Demand services. While attending the conference, EnterpriseOne and World customers experience the latest in Oracle applications, technologies, solutions, and business partner products while gaining industry insight from business leaders and featured keynote speakers.
