          Title : OTM Performance Tuning and Health Check - a Ground Up Approach
          Speaker: Chris Plough – Cofounder of MavenWire
          More and more clients are looking to understand the capabilities of the OTM/G-Log architecture and configuration in order better tune OTM. Usually, this is required because of poor OTM performance or as preparation for significant changes to OTM configuration, volume, or platform. The client may be experience poor performance throughout the entire system or for a very specific use cases. The primary objective of a Performance Tuning Exercise is to understand how OTM is being utilized and to recommend solution to improve the performance of OTM.

          We recommend and will take the audience through a “ground-up” performance tuning exercise, starting with hardware and infrastructure, moving to Java and App server tuning, then to OTM technical tuning and finally to the OTM functional tuning (data, agents, etc).

          These audits may identify hardware constraints at each tier, networking, or other infrastructure constraints causing sub-optimal system performance. Simply stated, the performance audit will identify all bottlenecks in the system if they exist.

          In many cases the largest performance is impacts are not hardware, but rather how the data is configured within the application. So as part of the exercise we will analyze database performance, individual SQL queries, OTM Queues, bulk planning parameters, agents, rates and the settlement process.

          Understanding the methods which will best identify these bottlenecks will help you avoid performance issues early in your project and save considerable time and expense as you near go-live. This presentation will guide you through the steps necessary to better understand what is impacting performance and how to best handle it. It will provide lessons learned and tools that are available to you better manage and maintain a healthy OTM environment.

              Title: Implementing OTM Outside the US: What's Similar, What's Different
              Speaker: Norman Fontes - Tsol
              No TMS application on the market today is as adaptable as OTM for international scenarios. However that does not mean that implementing OTM outside the US (where it was originally designed) is easy. Today, OTM is being implemented successfully in countries throughout Europe, Asia, and Latin America. The purpose of this panel discussion is to highlight some of the similarities, differences, issues, and lessons learned form those implementations. Some of those revolve around topics such as:
              • Language – How good are the translations? What adjustments need to be made to screens? How does the same language vary across countries?
              • Support – How are users outside the US obtaining application support?
              • Settlements / taxes – How well does OTM manage different tax scenarios
              • Distances – What are options for obtaining, calculating, loading distances?
              • Rates – Probably the most complex issue. How different are they and can they be represented in OTM? Are there rate modeling tools? How do we define rate distance outside the US? What rateware exists outside the US?

                      Title : Guerrilla Branding, or XSL in OTM: Customizing Transmissions and Screens
                      Speaker: Clay Combs - Tsol
                      So, you’ve configured OTM for planning, optimization, and settlement—what about look-and-feel? You want to give your customers—internal as well as external—a system that extends your brand, with your logos and colors. In addition, you’d like to help users grasp OTM more quickly and easily by streamlining a few screens. The catch? Much of what you need to do can’t be done from the user interface. You will have to become an XSL developer: a branding guerrilla.
                      During this presentation, we will explore the role of XSL stylesheets in formatting XML for outbound transmissions and screens. We will begin with modifications to the email tender, via a discussion of the Stylesheet Profile object. Then we will progress to screen modifications with an exploration of the Stylesheet Location User Preference, the system construct that makes it possible to assign specific screen stylesheets (read: custom screens) to a portion of your users.
                      From there, it’s all code: XSL, to be specific. We will conclude with a look at the language’s basic syntax and discuss best practices for implementing changes.
