OnDemand Software Showcases Oracle End User Training Solutions With New Release Of Oracle User Productivity Kit At Alliances 2008

OnDemand Software will showcase the new release of Oracle User Productivity Kit (UPK) 3.1 and OnDemand Personal Navigator 9.1.5 at the upcoming Alliances 2008 conference, March 10th – 14th in Las Vegas, NV in Booth 228. Oracle UPK, powered by OnDemand Personal Navigator technology is a collaborative content development platform that allows enterprises to drive user productivity and mitigate risk throughout all phases of the software ownership lifecycle.

Using Oracle UPK, organizations, such as BDO Seidman, Silicon Image, and University of Maryland, have been able to:

  • Create documentation, simulations, and performance support materials
  • Help ensure rapid user adoption and accelerate ROI for Oracle applications
  • Provide end to end support throughout the project lifecycle
  • Enable reduced time, risk, and cost of deployment of Oracle applications

"Oracle UPK enables us to quickly deliver application-specific content, empower our customers around the world to easily customize or supplement that content, and provide a consistent, enterprise-wide approach to user productivity," said Beth Renstrom, Oracle UPK Product Manager.

Oracle UPK supports Oracle E-Business Suite, Oracle Transportation Management, and Oracle's PeopleSoft, Siebel, JD Edwards, Retek, Hyperion, and Agile. And, pre-delivered Oracle application content is available to jump-start any implementation or upgrade. Organizations can realize greater ROI and increased productivity with properly trained employees.

"Having the ability to deliver end user training in multiple languages will increase user adoption and reduce the time, risk, and deployment costs for Oracle customers," said Kevin Riley, president of OnDemand Software. "With the new UPK 3.1, Oracle customers will also enjoy greater productivity benefits and maximize their original investment in Oracle applications."
