I am currently part of a team that is responsible for coordinating the breadth of technologies used by the Oracle E-Business Suite, the ERP/CRM suite consisting of over 200 products dedicated to Financial, Manufacturing, Supply Chain, Human Resources, Sales & Marketing, Support, Retail, and other services. My primary responsibilities include tracking the adoption of new technologies, both from Oracle (new database or server platforms, for instance), and third-party providers (such as licensed packages for bundling), and determining how to position them in the software infrastructure on which our application suite is built. This includes identifying specific product team requirements for new technologies or later versions of existing ones, and working to integrate those technologies into the product as much as possible, taking into account client and middle-tier operating system support, multi-lingual support (including BiDi languages), and potential conflicts with other existing or requested technologies. Since 2005, most of these efforts are focused on integrating Oracle Application Server products with the next generation of E-Business Suite software. My specialty focus areas include lifecycle management (e.g.: Oracle Enterprise Manager), collaboration and content management, browser technology (AJAX, SVG), Perl, and PHP.
Previously at Oracle, I've also done technical support for the installation and customization of Applications, supporting over thirty operating systems and the breadth of Oracle products used by Applications; pre-release testing of all Applications major and interim releases; design of database-backed web applications, allowing employees and customers to track certified combinations of Oracle and non-Oracle products; and product management for the Applications division's installation tools and future component strategies. See my resumé for details on these positions.
Now, if you're not a technical person, the previous section most likely sounded like a lot of meaningless jargon, or a big wad of typical resumé-padding buzzwords. It is for you — the normal people — that the rest of this section has been written.
