			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Doug Hughes is Vice President, Customer Services for Australia &amp; New Zealand at Oracle Corporation. Doug was the Keynote Speaker on the subject of &#8216;Sales Performance &amp; Improvement&#8216; at a recent Networking Event, organized by myself and my colleagues at Expert Executive Search - in conjunction with our business associates from Oracle, Hewlett Packard &amp; Ernst &amp; Young Revenue Growth Services.
In addition to delivering a presentation on how Enterprise is using Web 2.0 tools &amp; applications to achieve significant improvements in the Sales process, the event itself took Business Networking to a new level - with 3 Fortune 500 companies collaborating to present a message of mutual interest, to a gathering of over 100 members of the ICT and Business community. This included representatives from a number of organizations, including Unisys, Intel, Accenture, CSC and range of smaller companies.
