How
to Ship Quickly, and More
When you're "an engineer who builds stuff," like Matteo Frigo,
life's not just about perks and stock options. A lifetime of
algorithmic expertise earns you access to the best people—and the
hardest problems.
That's the opening of a profile of
Frigo, who after helping architect the Amazon Web
Services Elastic File System, moved to Oracle to work on its cloud
and build a team of experts in Boston. But this profile is about
Frigo more than Oracle, sharing Frigo's sometimes contrarian views
on how to ship tech projects quickly, when Agile works and when it
doesn't, and how to stay motivated in the demanding world of high
tech. |

Top
Five Priorities for CFOs in 2017
Have the strategies that once served your finance organization well
become an anchor weight? CEOs increasingly look to finance leaders
for the data and insight to re-evaluate the business—its strategic
direction, the competitive landscape, potential new business
models, and how operations must change to support all of the above.
For CFOs to meet that expectation, here are five priorities to focus
on in 2017. |
Oracle Startup Cloud Accelerator Program Extended to Seven More
Cities
Oracle's Startup Cloud Accelerator program gives select early-stage
tech-powered startups six months of mentoring, office space, and
free cloud services. Now Oracle is expanding this program, launched
in Bangalore, India, in April 2016, to seven other cities
worldwide, including Mumbai, Paris, Tel Aviv, and São Paulo.
"Oracle understands that startups are at the heart of innovation,"
says Oracle's Reggie Bradford. How Oracle can help
startups. |
Cloud Computing Therapy: Join These Straight-Talk
Sessions
After more than 30 years in the IT infrastructure industry,

enterprise IT leaders. "They know they have a big challenge ahead
of them; they just need to talk about it," Hollis says. Well, the
doctor is in. Hollis and Dave Vellante, from the technology talk
show theCube, are hosting a series of four interviews,
each approaching the enterprise IT cloud challenge from a different
perspective. How can you

Beachbody
Expands While Customers' Waistlines Shrink
Exercise and nutritional supplement company Beachbody relies
heavily on web-based transactions and webcasts—and an online
network for its 450,000 independent consultants, who help the
company generate annual revenue of more than $1.3 billion. Yet
Beachbody doesn't want a bulky IT operation. That's why the cloud
is becoming more important as the company grows. For example, cloud
tools help independent consultants manage their schedules and
business within Beachbody. Other advantages of moving
to the cloud. |
