Fail, and Learn,
Fast
If you want to succeed in business these days, producing innovative
products isn't enough. You have to produce—and
deliver—software-powered experiences faster than the competition.
To do that, your dev teams need to learn how to fail fast, and
often.
"Business executives want to experiment with 12 to 15 different
projects, get them out to market in weeks to months, get feedback
from the user community, and move forward with only 2 or 3 of these
projects," says Oracle's Siddhartha Agarwal. "The surviving
projects have the biggest chance of success, because users were
part of validating the prototype."
What makes that kind of quick-fail, continual-success development
possible is a cloud platform, of course. Get more advice from
Agarwal. |

The
Digital CFO Challenge
Cloud technology won't guarantee success, or even survival, but it
gives finance leaders a fighting chance to keep up with regulations
and customer expectations, says Oracle Senior Vice President
François Lançon. By the time on-premises software is implemented,
it will be "several generations behind," he writes. Plus, upgrades
will require more investment—and months or even years to fully
implement. Additional advice for
finance leaders. |
The Cloud Combats Employee Attrition
Convenience store chain Royal Farms needed a better way to recruit,
onboard, and train its people and to manage employee attrition,
which has hovered at almost 80 percent a year. With the help of
Oracle Human Capital Management Cloud, employees are prescreened
"to give the store leaders the best candidates," says Christopher
Kiessling, human resource information system manager. "Before, when
candidates walked in, the store managers had no clue who they
were." Getting good data with the
cloud. |
How to Ease Tech Headaches During M&A
In Europe mergers and acquisitions are up 16 percent in the first
quarter. How can the cloud help merging companies efficiently
integrate their technology without losing valuable data? Unlike
inflexible legacy systems, cloud platforms are highly configurable
and can be adapted to changing business needs almost overnight.
Because they're not limited by physical space, they can also
accommodate growth more quickly. More tips for M&A
success. |
