Bradley D. Brown is Chief Technology Officer of TUSC. Thomas Kurian, senior vice president -- Oracle Server Technologies Division, says, "Brad is among the foremost experts on Oracle's technology in the world."

For Brad, Web development isn't a job, it's his passion. He is the Oracle source who technologists around the world turn to when they seek expertise and experience in that discipline. Oracle Application Server, Oracle Application Express, Web Services, and the Service Oriented Architecture are only a few of the technologies he has mastered over a career that spans more than 25 years.

"Oracle HTML DB Handbook" (the product was renamed Oracle Application Express) is the fifth title Brad has published through Oracle Press and Osborne/McGraw-Hill. His most recent contribution was "Oracle Application Server 10g," which was co-authored with TUSC Technical Management Consultant Christopher Ostrowski in 2004. Prior to that, in 2001 Brad combined his many years of experience into "Oracle9i Web Development," which was a follow-up to "Oracle8i Web Development" he released two years before that. Brad's debut in the publishing industry came with "Oracle Application Server Web Toolkit Reference" in 1997.

While Brad is easily recognized as an accomplished Oracle author and world-renowned speaker, it is his technological expertise that clearly is his identity. While he has enjoyed a countless number of major implementation successes over the years, one milestone that clearly stands out centers around the development of "Periscope" which he released through TUSC in 2002. Periscope is breakthrough software that makes data from other data sources (i.e., Microsoft Access, Sybase, SQL Server, DB2, Web Services, file systems, APIs, etc.) appear as if it's in one big Oracle Database. The data also can be inserted, updated and deleted from many source databases. The groundbreaking tool works with more than 100 databases.

In 2008 Brad took Periscope and Oracle virtualization to a new level with Rolta-TUSC's iPerspective product. iPerspective allows companies to expose data (i.e. tables and views) and programs (i.e. packages, procedures, and functions) that already exist within organizations as Web Services. iPerspective provides for database virtualization into the service oriented architecture. Traditional migrations from terminal host to thick client applications, then from thick client to thin client were painful migrations (i.e. complete re-writes). iPerspective allows companies to move from wherever they are at today into SOA - without the need to re-build or re-code.

Brad's vast experience and expertise have earned him roles as chief technology officer of a number of companies including IntelliReal, Open Access Broadband Networks and EventConnex. Brad has also been an active board member for a number of companies and organizations including Geekcruises, Lantech Inc., Colorado Uplift and Cactus Strategies. Brad was actively involved in Young Presidents Organization from 1997, having served as the Colorado chapter's chapter chair, breakfast of champions chair, on-boarding chair, education chairperson, inventory of skills chairperson, technology officer, assistant education chairperson and membership chairperson. Brad currently teaches "New Venture Creation" in the graduate department of the University of Denver.

Along with co-founders Richard J. Niemiec and Joseph C. Trezzo, Brad is part of an award-winning company that earned the 2007 Oracle Titan Award, 2004 North America Oracle PartnerNetwork Partner Solution of the Year in the category of Oracle Application Server, as well as Internet Platform Partner of the Year in 2002. TUSC also has won the 2001 Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award in the category of "E-developer," was inducted into the Chicago-Area Entrepreneurship Hall of Fame in 1998 and earned an Arthur Andersen-Chicago Best Practices Award for "Unleashing the Power of Technology."
