Enterprise resource planning (ERP) software has been a vital part of nearly every organization since the 1990s. In its heyday, on-premises ERP gave businesses significant horsepower, directly impacting competitiveness. But times have changed—and in most companies, what was once a reliable workhorse is quickly reaching the point where it should be put out to pasture. In a recent APQC survey, finance respondents said that they spend nearly half of their time on transaction...

By David Haimes, Sr. Director of ERP Development, Oracle By now you’ve probably heard at least one description of what blockchain is, and that description probably had something to do with money. Blockchain has received a lot of attention for its “distributed ledger” technology, which is the basis for buying or selling cryptocurrencies and other assets through private markets. But blockchain technology has broader applications than crptocurrencies. In the future, blockchain...

By Steve Cox, Group VP, Oracle Cloud Business Group A few weeks ago I was in San Francisco, attending Oracle OpenWorld, and I saw some of the most exciting demos I’ve seen in my entire career. I’ve been in the IT business a long time, seen many changes in underlying technology and it was clear— this is not hype. We’re entering a world of continuous convergence. New technologies like artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML), blockchain, and the Internet of Things...

How many of you are old enough to remember the 1970s TV show, The Six Million Dollar Man? A quick plot summary for readers younger than me: An astronaut is nearly killed in a devastating crash. A clandestine government organization saves his life by making him a test subject for their top-secret “bionics” program, turning him into a robotically enhanced super-spy. In the show’s opening sequence, one of the characters pronounced every week that they made him, “Better....

When first conceived in the last century, enterprise resource planning systems (ERP) were boxed into the corner of “back-office solutions.” Even when they first began to move to the cloud, this boxed-in thinking tended to constrain the way that ERP systems were developed and used. But times have changed, and ERP is busting out of the box. At Oracle OpenWorld last month, two connected trends demonstrated this evolution: Cloud solutions have gained rapid and stunning adoption...

The roles of HR and finance have always been intertwined, but today they are truly converging. An MIT Technology Review Custom Report found that 35 percent of companies plan to create a shared finance and HR function within the next year. This emerging trend makes a lot of sense. CFOs are being asked to take a more active role in defining business strategies, which requires a firm understanding of the company’s talent and resourcing needs. In turn, HR leaders need a clear...

By Arun Khehar, Senior Vice President, Applications Business, ECEMEA, Oracle A few weeks ago, I wrote an article about how “Industry 4.0” is uniting the physical and digital worlds. That unity was powerfully showcased at this year’s Oracle OpenWorld. Virtual reality, voice recognition and intelligent chatbots were just some of the demos on display. But the coolest thing wasn’t the demos themselves; these days, just about every trade show features virtual reality and AI...

By Gary Allen, Director, Global Product Strategy, Oracle Higher Education Autumn is an exciting time for higher education—the start of a new year, the influx of new faces, and the promise of a future filled with learning, personal growth, and future career opportunities. Yet if you take a stroll around most U.S. campuses next fall, you might notice something: there will likely be fewer students roaming the grounds than this year. As the Millennial generation (born roughly...
