Every year at OpenWorld, Oracle announces the winners to its most prestigious awards in Middleware, the Fusion Middleware Innovation Awards. This year, we’ll be announcing the winners and highlighting a few of their original implementations during this key session in the Middleware stream:

11:45 AM on Tuesday, October 2^nd, CON9162 Oracle Fusion Middleware: Meet This Year's Most Impressive Customer Projects in Moscone West, 3001.

In addition, we’ll give a sneak peak of a few winners during GEN9394: Fusion Middleware General Session with Hasan Rizvi at 10:15 AM on Tuesday, October 2^nd in Moscone West, Hall D!

What kinds of customers win the Fusion Middleware Innovation Awards? Winners are selected based on the uniqueness of their business case, business benefits, level of impact relative to the size of the organization, complexity and magnitude of implementation, and the originality of architecture. The winners are selected by a panel of judges that score each entry across multiple different scoring categories. This year, the following categories included:

• Oracle Exalogic
• Cloud Application Foundation
• Service Integration (SOA) and BPM
• WebCenter
• Identity Management
• Data Integration
• Application Development Framework and Fusion Development
• Business Analytics (BI, EPM and Exalytics)

Last year at OpenWorld 2011 we had standing room only in our session, so come early!  We had over 30 innovative customers that won the award, including companies like BT, Choice Hotels, Electronic Arts, Clorox Company, ING, Dunkin Brands, Telenor, Haier, AT&T, Manpower, Herbal Life and many others.
