Today, April 1st 2009 saw the opening of the first Oracle User Group show in the Middle East Region, OAUG Connection Point 2009. Inatech is proud to be an inaugural sponsor and exhibitor of this event.

The Inatech team arrived early to prepare. The event kicked off sharply at 8.30am, with an internal team of presenters gathered from the strongest Oracle teams across the world.

The Inatech team enjoyed the Keynote Session which was given by Oracle's most senior executive in the Middle East & African (MEA) region, Husam Dajani, Senior Vice President and Managing Director, MEA, Oracle Corporation. Husam was extremely enthusiastic in his opening address as this is the first time the OUG event has been held in the region, over the 22 years that Oracle has been present driving and pioneering Enterprise IT applications in this part of the world.
