22 OCW Main or rather BOLD Messages

Amazing to be back in person and everyone was full of energy. Both Safra and Larry talked about being BOLD and it was a very BOLD conference.

Larry had two main messages in his keynote:

•  Multi Clouds 
•  Industry albeit all about Healthcare.

Customers, now referred to as 'partners' use multiple cloud applications, so just by doing that have multiple infrastructure cloud. Oracle are making a multi cloud estate easy. They started a few years ago with Azure but this is widening all the time. His vision is the Internet of Clouds.

Industries are changing and Oracle fuels that change. During the pandemic they partners with many organisations to accelerate the change needed to respond. The acquisition of Cerner gives then a foundation in Healthcare to build out the capability and more importantly scale across the world. 

Safra also talked about change and had many of these 'partners' on stage including of course Red Bull and how Oracle fuels their success.

In the technology world:

•  Multi Cloud as Larry said
• Oracle Alloy which allows partners to provide Oracle Cloud independent of Oracle hosting,

• Even more consolidation and new features in OCI 
• Intent to make more technologies available in OCI such as postgress and snowflake 
• The release of 23c database, opening up beta testing to all, which is possible simply because it is cloud.

In the Applications World Steve Miranda had 3 messages:

• The industry focus,again starting with Healthcare
• B2B between Oracle 'partners' starting with JPMChase Finance and Fedex
• Extending Oracle Cloud Applications (my post on this)

This only scratches the surface, and Oracle have free access to many of the sessions for a month. Take the time to watch a few.

Remember OCW is about a vendor sharing their vision and more details will appear over time as to when and how some of these features and functions will be available.
