Miro has been a supporter of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society for years. Again, Miro sponsored and raised funds for Team Joe at this year’s NJ Bike-a-thon. As you see, Eliot (Miro’s president is on the extreme left) and some of our sales folks took a photo after the bike ride.

We’re getting ready for our Summer Blockbuster hit – the June 25 Oracle licensing strategies webinar (it starts at 1 p.m. ET LIVE).  I and Eliot Colon, president of Miro Consulting, will both be giving tips on how to best work with Oracle licensing and the best way to further optimized your total cost of ownership.  We’ll also be answering questions from the audience and hope to get to all the questions this time (as we almost always run out of time even with 30 minutes-plus allotted for audience questions).

Go to our home page at www.miroconsulting.com and register for the event.  There will also be a live twitter feed at www.Twitter.com/yinchang.

Our very own Eliot Arlo Colon, President of Miro Consulting, was interviewed last week by Linda Tucci of SearchCIO on Oracle licensing issues.  On the interview, Eliot talked about how to get the most out of your next Oracle licensing contract.  The interview is available online via podcast.
