Hey everyone, I'm super-excited (and a little nervous) that I was given a speaking slot at SharePoint Saturday Raleigh on Nov. 7th! (Link goes to presentation overview.)

We are attempting to move items from multiple custom SharePoint lists to Oracle UCM and continue to manage/review/approve the data through the SharePoint interface.
