Lessons
Learned
Deepak Patil, a vice president working on Oracle's infrastructure
as a service (IaaS) offerings, came to Oracle about a year ago from
Microsoft, where he helped launch that company's Azure service. The
challenge for him—and hundreds of other Oracle engineers like him,
many of whom came from Amazon Web Services, Google, Joyent,
Microsoft, and other companies—has been to build the second
generation of Oracle's cloud platform "by applying all of your
lessons, avoiding all the mistakes, and leveraging both the
advancements in software and hardware and also some of the unique
strategic benefits that only Oracle can offer," Patil says.
Oracle's IaaS is superior, Patil says, because the team has made
fundamentally different decisions than its rivals in three critical
areas: the architecture, network, and software design of its cloud
infrastructure. Learn the details of how those technical decisions
drive better performance,
predictability, and price. |

Global
Growth: Remove Barriers with ERP in the Cloud
It's easy for global growth to get stymied by the long list of
things-to-do when expanding international expansionsly. But cloud
apps might help. Need to integrate with the Aisino Golden Tax
system System in China, or comply with the capital cost allowance
requirement in Canada? Oracle ERP Enterprise Resource Planning
Cloud has integrated localizations that address financials, taxes,
and other regional business needs. Learn what other global growth
barriers cloud ERP can
solve. |
More Than Talk: Five Real Digital Transformations
In this hyperbolic age, every cloud app subscription can get
labeled a "digital transformation." But did it cut costs, make
customers happy, increase profits, engage employees—across the
company, not just in one business group? Five companies—General
Electric, General Motors, Australian Red Cross Blood Service, D+M,
and UL—show how to make transformation
real. |
Future of the IT Labor Market: An Optimist's View
Many traditional IT jobs will go away forever once they've been
automated by the cloud or otherwise. If you believe in finite
demand for enterprise IT services, it looks grim. But Oracle's
Chuck Hollis looks at the future another way: if we shift to using
IT to create better outcomes rather than making heavy IT
investments just to keep the lights on, there should be plenty of
satisfying IT career opportunities, although they will look very
different from those of decades past. Here's why Hollis calls himself
an optimist. |

Seven
Lessons on Cloud App Implementation
Don't underestimate change management. That's one lesson that
experts at grocer and food distributer Alex Lee shared from their
recent cloud implementation. For example, they pushed out the
go-live dates for Oracle Procurement Cloud and Oracle Expenses
Cloud so that the finance team could get comfortable with the new
accounts payable process. The system was ready, but the people
weren't. Get six more of their insider
tips. |
