Oracle’s Industry Suite Innovations
The Big Themes:
- AI integration in Industry Applications: AI, especially GenAI is playing a significant role in transforming industry applications. Mike explains how AI technologies are enhancing customer experiences, such as in healthcare, where they automate routine tasks and improve patient interactions. This integration is expected to continue growing.
- Shift towards Industry Suites: There is a clear shift toward adopting Industry Suites rather than piecemeal cloud solutions. Mike explains that Industry Suites, which integrate various technologies and services, are becoming more popular as they offer a cohesive solution and reduce the need for extensive regression testing and complex integrations. They help organizations maintain cloud benefits, such as innovation and security, without the drawbacks of fragmented systems.
- Business transformation through technology: Technology has a huge impact on broader business transformation. Mike notes that what starts as an IT project can evolve into a comprehensive business transformation initiative. For instance, AI-driven offerings in healthcare are not only improving operational efficiency but also transforming business models and patient care.
The Big Quote: “Everybody’s here to serve their customers. Patients are customers, people who check into hotels are customers, people who eat at restaurants are customers. Every CEO that I engage with says, ‘This transformation helps me serve my customers better, and that’s why I want to engage in it.'”
