I am fortunate enough to work for a multinational company. We are in the process of setting up a current subsidiary in France on our ERP/MRP system (basically a big big business management program) and I will be there for support and validation.
Also, my parents, Bob and Marleen Greene, as well as Bill an Carol Allen will be in Europe at this time as well! I'm excited to be able to spend time with all of them in a far off place, especially as we'll be there for different reasons.
I will be in Denmark at our corporate office for a week, then 2 weeks in Paris. 2 years ago, I never would have dreamed of traveling the world as I do, but I've now been to Copenhagen, Toronto, Tokyo, and coming up, Paris, Milan Italy, Barcelona Spain...Next year, possibly China and Brazil.
A bit on my company: We develop cancer diagnostics and medical antibodies. For those of you who have had biopsies to check for cancer, those are the tests we develop. We create instruments for tissue staining and pre-diagnosis. Most people don't know that 80% of pathology labs are being run with 70's and 80's technology. There hasn't been much of a push to develop new methods in this world. Our company is pushing technologic limits and are in the process of building a complete workflow lab to take the average time of 3-6 days for diagnosis down to about 8 hours.

RYAN, what about your wonderful Uncle that set this whole thing up!!
There will be 5 of us staying at a condo in the corner of Holland near the Belgium and German border for a week in May. One day that week I drop the other 4 off at the train station in Brussels and they head off on a high speed train to Paris to link up with Ryan who actually will be in Versailles.
Robin is joining me the following week in Stockholm for a 3 week tour of Sweden and Norway.
Ryan has a real knack for computers and teaching people how to use their own tools. It is nice he found a company that could recognize his talent.
How am I ever going to catch up with Ryan in his travels? I'm retired, I don't have the time!
Okay Tom, don't rub it in. I plan to retire too in a few years. By the way, I wish I could go along but that darn W word keeps getting in the way. Ryan, have fun with the invasion of the Walkers'.
I MET YOU AND YOUR FATHER ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO AND WENT AWAY WITH THE IDEA THAT BOB SURE LIKES TO TRAVEL. NOW YOUR MOTHER AND YOU ARE TRAVELING "MEGA", IS THIS A "GREEN FAMILY" THING OR ARE YOU JUST TRYING TO KEEP UP WITH YOU UNCLE TOM?

Ryan,
Thank you for posting. It was interesting to learn about your company. I am looking forward to seeing you in Paris. Who would have ever thought we would be doing this? Certainly not me.
See you there! Aunt Carol
Craig,
My company is Dako North America. We're on Oracle 11i. Plan on switching over to 12 in the next few years.
Just like you, I'm focused on Supply Chain. I'm primarily in Order Management, but I'm basically the super user now for shipping and planning as well. When our supply chain director introduces me to someone new, I always seem to get a promotion.
Our Corporate VP of Operations came from GE - Jorge Cerda.
