New year greetings to everyone..

I am an Oracle EBS Supply Chain funky and am good at OE & Shippings modules. I want to learn Oracle OTM to a level I can perform system analysis / mapping / design functions. I mean i want to be an OTM funky. Can someone please suggest an online course (or a location where i can get User Manuals & implementation manuals to teach my self).

Kind regards
Jag

Jag,

First off - I wish you well on your choice to learn OTM. It's a very large and complex product, but the journey can be very rewarding -- especially if you like challenges.

The bulk of the training courses out there are aimed at companies training internal employees, rather than one-off training. Here's the options that I'm aware of:

(Note: I want to be sure this is fair to everyone, so if there are other offerings that haven't listed, let me know and I'll add them to the post.)

Oracle (http://education.oracle.com/)

1. Online functional courses:
   1. OTM Core Competence
   2. Implement Trade Management
2. Additional online courses are in development

MavenWire (MavenWire Consultants - The Oracle OTM / G-Log GC3 Experts)

1. On-site functional courses
   1. OTM End User
   2. OTM Implementation
   3. OTM Freight Settlement
   4. OTM Super User
2. On-site technical courses
   1. OTM Systems Administrator
   2. OTM Oracle Reports Development
3. Additional courses in development

Chris,

Where could I get more information on the courses that are offered by MavenWire?

Caleb,

First - I want to be careful not to let these forums become simply a marketing avenue for MavenWire and to be fair to everyone else, so if there are other offerings out there, please send me a private message on the boards (or an email) and I'll update this post with those additional courses.

I'll ask Sam to get in touch with you to discuss them in more detail

Absolutely, I'm open to hear about any training that is available beyond what Oracle has to offer.

Does anyone know if Oracle still offers these courses:

1. Oracle Reports (introduction)
2. Oracle Reports for GC3/OTM

I believe they offered the 2nd one but I haven't seen it offered lately. From what I heard, it was a great course to take to suppliment the Intro to Oracle Reports course and was good to have for anyone developing reports for OTM.
