Arlington, Texas (PRWEB) May 22, 2017 -- The Oracle ACE Program has promoted Opal Alapat and Robert Gideon from Oracle ACE Associates to full Oracle ACEs. Oracle ACEs are established Oracle advocates who are well known in the community. They must have a history of demonstrated community activism in certain qualified areas, book authorship, and an established social media profile. In addition to Alapat and Gideon, interRel is home to Oracle ACE Directors Tracy McMullen, Edward Roske, and Glenn Schwartzberg, as well as Oracle ACE Associate Wayne Van Sluys.

The Oracle ACE Program was founded in 2003 as a way to recognize and reward members of the Oracle technology and application communities for their contributions, as well as help Oracle make its products more efficient and effective. Members of the program are technologically adept and eager to share their knowledge and experience.

“This is a tremendous honor for Opal and Robert,” said Edward Roske, interRel CEO and Oracle ACE Director. “They are educators to the entire Oracle EPM community. As a company, we thank them for embodying our value of ‘learning things and passing them on.’”

Opal Alapat, EPM Cloud Specialist at interRel and a Cloud Oracle ACE, has over 15 years of experience in the EPM industry. As an Oracle Cloud Specialist, she is co-author of Look Smarter Than You Are with Oracle Enterprise Planning Cloud, the first-ever printed book on any Oracle EPM Cloud product, and sole author of the first-ever book on EPRCS, Look Smarter Than You Are with Enterprise Performance Reporting Cloud. Alapat has also been published in the RMOUG SQL>UPDATE magazine. In addition to her publications, Alapat currently serves with ODTUG as a Board Director, the Marketing Chair, and the Assistant Kscope17 Conference Chair. She was formerly EPM/BI Content Chair and Marketing Chair for Kscope, and was named ODTUG Volunteer of the Year in 2015. Furthermore, Alapat has presented at major EPM/BI conferences such as Oracle OpenWorld, ODTUG Kscope, IOUG COLLABORATE, and RMOUG Training Days. She is co-founder of the North Texas Hyperion User Group (NTxHUG), an active member of the EPM community on Twitter (@opal_EPM), and author of a popular EPM blog (WomanInEPM.com).

Robert Gideon is a principal consultant at interRel and has over 17 years of information technology experience with the last 10 years focused on Oracle EPM and BI products. Gideon, an Oracle Essbase Certified Implementation Specialist, co-authored the first-ever book on any Hyperion 11.1.2.4 product, Look Smarter Than You Are with Essbase 11.1.2. He is also certified in Hyperion Planning and Exalytics and is specialized in Oracle Cloud. Additionally, Gideon has presented at ODTUG Kscope, IOUG COLLABORATE, and user groups across the United States. He is Co-coordinator of the OAUG EPM/Hyperion SIG, an active member of the BI/EPM community on Twitter (@rjgideon), and authors a prevalent BI/EPM blog (CubistRamblings.WordPress.com).

Both Alapat and Gideon regularly create educational Play it Forward videos, host webcasts, and speak at EPM/BI roadshows.
