I'll be talking at OOW this year about Siebel EAI and the roadmap for integration in the Oracle landscape. There are a lot of customers out there who have integrated Siebel with other Oracle products, and we have some ideas internally about how we're going to make better use of the array of products that are there. http://www28.cplan.com/cc208/session_details.jsp?isid=300056&ilocation_id=208-1&ilanguage=english I'd love to see people there, or at the "Application Lounges" sessions that we have running on Tuesday and Wednesday (from 12 until 2:30 (2pm on Wednesday)) and catch up on your thoughts on this subject, or anything else you'd like...
