Join CBA at Collaborate 2013 in Denver April 7-11

Visit CBA at COLLABORATE13 located at booth 1371

During the course of the year we have the opportunity to participate in a number of quality events.  The event we feel that has the most value  for us and our customers is Collaborate.  Collaborate is centered around education and networking, since it is sponsored by the Oracle Application User Group, Primavera Special Interest Group and Quest it has an independent point of view.  For the Primavera user community this event has far and away the deepest collection of sessions presented mostly by the user community.  In fact, once again this year one of our own is presenting at Collaborate.

On Tuesday April 9th CBA  Sr. Consultant Bryan Gardner who for 18 months was an integral part of the project team implementing Contract Management at Cenovus, will be delivering a joint presentation with Cenovus on Integrating PCM Cost Tracking with JDE 9.0.  PCM was selected by the Project Controls Group within Cenovus Energy Inc. as the preferred application for tracking project costs for their Canadian oil sands projects. JDE 9.0 was the selected as the Supply Chain application with the finance cost accounting structure. This presentation will demonstrate the challenges and method of integrating two cost structures within the constraints of the ERP system implemented at Cenovus, as well as extending the cost tracking to external sources such as the legacy system and external stakeholders.

• Objective 1: Demonstrate the combination of two cost structures in PCM

• Objective 2: Extending JDE enterprise cost accounting into PCM project cost accounting

• Objective 3: Show how standardization works in an enterprise environment
