to capture market share in this area . He was really ready to go into the throat of Amazon , laughs Vestrheim , who finds it exciting to follow Ellison ’ s considerations . It ’ s quite clear that this affect Oracle ’ s own organization and us as partners , he concludes .
Besides the involved SYSCO employees , also all company Oracle customers were invited to attend the conference . One of those who have taken the tour on several occasions , is the ICT Advisor Kjell Bårdsen from Gassco at Karmøy . -To me , Oracle OpenWorld ( OOW ) is an important arena for keeping updated on what ’ s happening in the industry , says Bårdsen . He thinks it is nice to combine academic updates to meet other colleagues from the environment and have joined OOW both as an independent participant and together with SYSCO .
Most of this year ´ s SYSCO delegation , were living in a designated house near Fisherman ’ s Warf , and the participants were given both the opportunity to participate at their own events for the Norwegian environment and Oracle ’ s other programs for excursions and activities . As part of a popular tradition , the company also this year reserved a separate SYSCO-partner pub where we gathered a lot of people , says Runar Vestrheim . He also highlights Oracle ’ s trips to the wine regions of Napa Valley as wonderful experiences .
SYSCO will also attend the OOW in 2017 , so if you want to join there , please contact your SYSCO representative to register your interest .
