Inspiration
≠ Innovation
As a writer and editor (and one of those tricky "creative" types),
I tend to think of innovation as something elusive and
near-magical. A marvelous breakthrough. An unexpected revelation. A
discovery made by a secret team of like-minded misfits. But Jon
Chorley, chief sustainability officer at Oracle, did a good job of
disabusing me of my innovation-related fantasies.
In a recent interview with
Profit magazine, Chorley noted that
although innovative thinking can come from anywhere in the
organization, managing the supply chain of ideas is essential to
scaling up and moving fast. Which is why a cloud-based tool
designed for that process is so necessary. "Given that there's a
great deal of money and often the future of the company at stake,
having a system such as Oracle Innovation Management to improve
your 'return on innovation spend' should be a high priority,"
Chorley says. |

What
Modern Thermostats and Modern Finance Have in Common
What does installing an Internet-of-Things enabled thermostat have
in common with migrating from last-century, on-premises enterprise
resource planning to modern cloud systems? Besides just taking up
less space, the new systems offer extensive reporting—information
that can be accessed from any location in the world—that far
surpasses that of complex offerings of the past. Discover two more
similarities. |
Tales from Oracle's Customer Success Managers
In the cloud, companies can start or end a tech project with a few
clicks. That's why Oracle's customer success manager role is
crucial—these Oracle employees support just one or two customers
and make sure they get the most value possible out of their cloud
experience. "It's not dropping off donuts every Friday at a
customer," says Oracle's AnnaMarie Stroh. "We know what their
five-year plan is, and we're a part of that." Learn five
lessons to ensure cloud customer
success. |
Run a Factory on Cloud Apps? IQMS Says Yes
Mission-critical applications such as IQMS ERP, which companies use
to run their factories, were once considered too risky to run on
the cloud. But that's changed: IQMS now plans to offer its software
running on Oracle Cloud Platform, as well as offer Oracle Business
Intelligence Cloud Service alongside its own applications so
companies can analyze data that IQMS collects on factory-floor
machine performance. Learn three
reasons IQMS decided to move to the
cloud. |

Behold!
The Internet-of-Things-Enabled Scooter
On Japan's Teshima island tourists can use eco-friendly electric
scooters to visit local art attractions. To ensure that visitors
don't get stranded around the island, PS Solutions needed an
Internet of Things platform to connect the scooters' real time data
on location and power to a central system, and Oracle Internet of
Things Cloud Service "is the only IoT solution we looked at that
provides predictive analytics as well," says PS Solutions' Norio
Yamaguchi. Learn why the island offers an ideal IoT test
case. |
