Integrating Siebel Applications

Course Description

Please note that the Siebel 7.7 Integration Core Exam will retire on February 28, 2006. After this date, the certification Siebel 7.7 Certified Integration Consultant will no longer be available.Oracle Partners that want to obtain an Oracle Integration Champion accreditation, please check for more information the Siebel Assessments and Certification page on Oracle PartnerNetwork.This course is designed to provide participants with the knowledge to integrate Siebel applications in a variety of integration strategies. Participants learn various Siebel EAI technologies to integrate Siebel applications, thus enabling them to select and implement an appropriate integration strategy to meet their business requirements. Participants also learn how these technologies can be used in different integration topologies. During the latter part of the course, they explore the components of the Universal Application Network (UAN) architecture and learn how pre-packaged integration applications provide rapid, effective integration solutions. The UAN section of the course is designed to focus on the general UAN technology and does not contain content that is specific to a given integration server. This course is intended for members of Siebel implementation teams (customers, partners, and system integrators) who are responsible for integrating Siebel applications with other applications in their systems. The course focuses primarily on Siebel technology and concepts.
