It’s definitely the season for free Webinars. If you enjoy learning more about the goings-on in the Oracle world and beyond, it’s a good idea to keep reading.
On Wednesday, Feb. 3 (10 a.m. PT/1 p.m. ET), plan to attend the following Webinar: “JD Edwards & Oracle: The Strategic Platform for Business Growth.” Lyle Ekdahl, group vice president for JD Edwards will provide a 10-minute update on the “future of JD Edwards.”
In addition, Bill Black, chief financial officer for Arcturus Realty Corp. will join Lyle for a discussion on the ease of upgrading to 9.0 and Tools 8.98. Of course, we’re especially excited about this Webinar because Arcturus is a loyal InsightSoftware.com customer.

If you’re in the finance and accounting industries, you’ve probably heard a little bit about International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), which are standards, interpretations and the framework adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).
The United States has been slow to adopt IFRS. However, countries like Canada, India and many others are planning to adopt the standards or already have. As the pressure grows for the U.S. to use IFRS, many companies are scrambling to find out how to prepare.
The American Management Association (AMA) hosted a Webinar called “From GAAP to IFRS: How to Survive the Accounting Revolution.” The prerecorded Webinar highlights how IFRS will affect the format of financial statements and increased requirements for systems support and data tracking.
To view the Webinar, it’s required to register for a free membership with the AMA: http://bit.ly/cSvPPy.
