Data-Powered
At a ceremony in Bermuda on February 14, I had the privilege of
seeing ORACLE TEAM USA unveil the sailing machine it will take into
its defense of the America's Cup. Adhering to the new specs for
next summer's competition, the boat is considerably shorter and
lighter than the one the team sailed to victory on San Francisco
Bay four years ago.
Among the technical innovations on this aerodynamically sculpted
catamaran are redesigned undercraft hydrofoils and an improved
hydraulic control system, which should make it possible for the
boat to glide above water for 100 percent of the racing time during
the Cup finals on Bermuda's Great Sound. It's also a computational
machine, analyzing data collected from as many as 1,000 sensors
attached to myriad boat and sailor body parts to improve
performance. Read more on this data and
engineering marvel. |

GE
Digital: Beyond a 'Cartoonish Version' of the Internet of
Things
The cloud is vital to GE's industrial internet ambition. The idea
is to create a platform that helps companies collect and analyze
reams of data coming from GE's and other companies' industrial
assets, to improve uptime and efficiency. "If you aren't on the new
cloud architecture, you're not going to be able to compete, either
as the one who uses it or the one who sells it," says Bill Ruh,
GE's chief digital officer. Learn how Oracle and GE
work together. |
Safra Catz: Always Be Transforming
The hardest part of digitally transforming a company is not the
technology—it's the sociology, Oracle CEO Safra Catz says. It's
hard for employees to accept change, so it's important that they
quickly see a tangible benefit in their daily job. This is where
the cloud helps. Because cloud applications can be implemented in
months rather than the years it used to take with on-premises
systems, such improvements come faster. "The truth is that
technology is valuable only if it helps you run your organization
better," Catz says. Get more advice about
surviving digital transformation. |
How to Love Tax Reporting in the Cloud
Companies can improve their tax processes while more easily
complying with the latest global regulations, using a new module in
the Oracle Enterprise Performance Management Cloud (Oracle EPM
Cloud) service. Based on Oracle's on-premises tax software but
re-engineered for the cloud, this module delivers global tax
reporting best practices out of the box. Three advantages this
module delivers. |
