The discussion of business IT often veers into can't-see-the-forest-for-the-trees territory, where it's easy to forget just how cool and exciting this stuff can be. That's why Dispatches From the Hyperlocal Future, scifi writer Bruce Sterling's brilliant bit of not-so-speculative fiction (in the July issue of Wired), should be required reading, not just for those in IT, but especially for those on the business side of the house. Sterling's short story, presented as a...

The "three amigos" of Oracle AppsLab - Paul Pedrazzi, Jake Kuramoto, Rich Manalang - have done Oracle a great service with their internally deployed "Oracle Idea Factory". (AppsLab is already required reading BTW, and not just for Oracle wonks. Thought leadership is in high evidence there.)With this service, product managers across the org are suggesting new Oracle Apps features and functionality, rating other suggestions, and offering comments as well, with the...

We've re-organized the blogs.oracle.com homepage by topic area. You like?It was just becoming too difficult to wade through all the item-by-item descriptions (most of which were repetitive). You'll also note an expanded aggregator.IMO it's an improvement, but if I get enough screaming and yelling for a rollback, that's fine too.Of course, OTN Semantic Web Beta is still the best way to navigate the blogosphere, even if it does aggregate only a subset of these blogs.

The baby raptors perched on the edge of an Oracle HQ tower have flown the coop! Nature takes its course. Congrats to mom for her successful parenting.

Oracle Fusion Middleware evangelist Omar Tazi, who focuses on the OSS area, recently gave a presentation to an Oracle users group that is well summarized by BMC Software blogger William Hurley here.This is one of the rare occasions where most of Oracle's OSS "non-strategy" is laid out, and rather accurately. (By "non-strategy" I mean: a strategy not to have a strategy. In a nod to common-sense practicality over dogma, Oracle encourages customers to use OSS in their stack...

A long time ago, when everyone wore a toga to work -- even when it wasn't Casual Friday -- the Roman philosopher Seneca advised that, "Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity." More recently, Bill Swanton -- whose attire is, I suspect, somewhat less casual than Seneca's -- offered this sage advice regarding what it will take to remain competitive in the very near future: Companies may see SOA and BPM in their future, but the ramp-up time to apply these...
