We're pleased to announce that Eric Brandenburg, Hosted Web site Administrator for the IOUG and Technical Architect at Brunswick, is the first place winner of the APEX Developer Competition 2009.

This competition, conducted by The Oracle Technology Network (OTN), promotes the development of new Oracle Application Express (APEX) applications by Oracle developers.

According to OTN, Brandenburg's winning application - IT Access - stores the assignment of physical IT assets and/or application access for employees, tracks who has what from the start of the request through completion, facilitates removal of those resources when the employee leaves the organization, provides auditing of requests, manager reviews, automated workflow and notification and more.

Brandenburg is responsible for administering more than 60 Oracle APEX applications that support IOUG RUGs and SIGs. Congratulations, Eric!
