First
Movers Will Rule the Cloud Age
Upwards of US$100 billion of bank profits are at risk, the market
caps of stodgy media companies keep bleeding, and once-iconic
retailers are shells of their former selves. And still we debate
whether companies should be "first movers" when it comes to tech
adoption and business model innovation? Instead, let's call "fast
followers" what they've become in today's digital economy:
laggards.
Job #1 for all digital business leaders is laying an IT foundation
that lets them innovate with speed and agility. Cloud computing
provides the main building blocks—the software, platform, and
infrastructure services that turbocharge the innovation cycle. It
used to take years for big users of on-premises enterprise
technology to acquire, customize, test, deploy, and train their
people on the latest versions. Today that whole cycle can take only
months in the cloud.
But the cloud is only one linchpin for gaining first-mover
advantages. Learn more about what it
takes from Oracle Senior VP Sonny Singh, VP Roland
Smart, and other experts. |

Wagamama
Puts the Cloud on the Menu
The Wagamama restaurant chain is known for its kitchen theatrics
and canteen-style seating; its freshly cooked ramen, teppanyaki,
and curry—and its cutting-edge technology. Now Wagamama is moving
to a cloud-based point-of-sale system, Oracle Hospitality Simphony
Cloud Service, to continue its innovation and expansion worldwide.
"When we onboard new franchisees, we want to be able to give them
the tools to do the job from day 1," CIO Richard Tallboy says.
Learn how the cloud fits with Wagamama's kaizen
culture of continuous improvement. |
No More Guesswork
Marketing professionals have based decisions about customer
experience design largely on their gut feeling. Oracle
Maxymiser, a new addition to Oracle Marketing Cloud,
now helps marketers objectively test and target every aspect of the
web and mobile app experience. It's all about "listening to their
customers and letting customers tell them what does and doesn't
work best," says Tim Brown, group vice president of product
development at Oracle. |
Work Wherever You Are
With Oracle Mobile Cloud Service, employees can work anywhere. Just
ask the sales reps at Industrial Farmacéutica Cantabria Group
(IFC), one of Spain's leading developers and distributors of skin
care products. Read how reps are using Oracle
Mobile Cloud Service to—for example—create, modify,
and delete records; place sales orders; and record their daily
activities with mobile devices. And IFC did it with a small IT
staff. |
