#Cloud and Life at Oracle…

So, I have been at Oracle now for a little over 3 months…  really enjoying it!  Loving the teams I work with!  For the most part, great leadership, great teamwork and great collaboration!

Spent a week in Virginia attending the #professionalhire class called #Ignite.  A good week of refresher stuff…  got great value from the “this is how you really get *this* done in #Oracle” discussions.   Learned that Oracle is trying to bring in a more #empathetic sales force…  a sales force that actually #feels for and #understands their clients and put themselves in their clients #shoes.

Cloud sales are #fun!  Fun is a different way than you might think of a #goodtime.  LOL

Arguably there are no other companies that know the #enterprise like Oracle knows the enterprise!  A few themes consistent and prominent in the #OracleCloud; #Performance, #Consistent, #Predictable, #Secure, #Scalable, #CostEffective, #End-to-End, #Autonomous, and #Optimized.  With that understanding in mind, #OracleCloud has been designed from the ground up to run applications for #ERP, #HCM, #talent management, sales and marketing, and customer experience.

Oracle IaaS

In addition to running the applications that Oracle offers, a recent cloud announcement encouraging clients to #BringYourOwnLicense ( #BYOL ) to the Oracle Cloud highlighting the option to run non-Oracle “stuff” in our cloud.  This capability is not new, but has been recently highlighted as Oracle goes #headtohead against #AWS, #Azure and #Google.

Many people forget that Oracle is in the #hardware business too! Industry leading X5’s and X7’s are available in the Oracle #datacenters!  What does this mean?  This means #you can leverage #StateOfTheArt technology, that perhaps due to #budget #constraints, many clients may not be able to afford, by going to the #OracleCloud!
