Simplified administration, increased flexibility, faster development and deployment, and enhanced security – there are many reasons why your customers are turning to Linux. Initially developed for personal computers based on the Intel-x86 architecture nearly thirty years ago, Linux has since spread to more platforms than any other operating system, and has considerably increased its popularity over the last several years. Linux is now the dominant operating system for servers, mainframes, and even supercomputers – indeed since 2017, the 500 fastest supercomputers have exclusively used Linux-based operating systems. Linux is also extremely prevalent in webservers; survey data from W3Techs shows that around 70% of the top 10 million websites are currently running some form of UNIX – with Linux being used by more than half of those. Operating systems based on the Linux kernel are also widely used in embedded systems such as automation controls, networking devices, televisions, games consoles, and smartwatches. And due to the dominance of Android on smartphones, Linux also has the largest installed base of all general-purpose operating systems. Here are some of the main features and benefits you and your customers can experience when operating Linux: Docker Docker enables you to run more load on the same hardware, increasing your server utilization even more than with virtual machines. A Docker-based infrastructure is easy to move to different environments, for example to a private, public or shared Cloud, and also enables your developer team to develop in exactly the same environment that the app will run on – accelerating your deployment time. By using orchestration platforms such as Docker Swarm or Kubernetes, developers can also self-administer tasks that previously required a system administrator – while many development, deployment, and admin tasks can simply be standardized and automated. Docker’s standard reporting and management tools greatly simplify the command and control of your infrastructure – saving valuable system administrator time and also making it much easier for new recruits to understand and operate your systems. OpenStack Similar benefits of enhanced infrastructure efficiency, faster application development and deployment, and simplified administration can also be achieved by using OpenStack for Cloud computing. Run your own private Cloud using OpenStack orchestration to automate provisioning and administration of your servers, virtual machines, and Docker containers – and leverage public OpenStack vendors to easily manage your load hikes. Your security can also be increased by storing data on distributed servers using various OpenStack services. PAM Pluggable Authentication Modules simplify your system management by using common authentication mechanisms across all your systems and applications. In addition to freeing developers from worrying about the details of authentication, PAM enables system administrators to change security policies – for example from single-factor to two-factor authentication – without requiring changes to your applications. SELinux With Security Enhanced Linux (SELinux) you can protect your systems from outside attacks by confining your applications to their minimal access rights. SELinux enables you to monitor and control access to your critical data and systems, and to guarantee compliance with data regulations such as GDPR. OpenSCAP Keep your systems secure and compliant to your own or public security policies with OpenSCAP security automation. The OpenSCAP ecosystem provides multiple tools to assist administrators and auditors with assessment, measurement, and enforcement of security baselines. Oracle KSplice Use Oracle KSplice rebootless kernel updates and rollbacks to reduce downtime and system upgrade planning, while increasing security through faster patching of vulnerable servers. Monitor and control multiple systems from the KSplice Management Console to reduce your administration overheads and guarantee that all of your systems are up-to-date. Learning to leverage Linux Linux benefits are numerous and multi-faceted. The best way to ensure that you are leveraging Linux to the maximum and not putting your customer’s company at risk is to keep your skills up-to-date with a wide-ranging and continuous learning program. The Linux Learning Subscription from Oracle University provides you with year-round, 24/7 access to the most comprehensive Linux training material, including more than 350 videos covering all the above topics and more. From developers to system administrators – of Linux, Red Hat, or CentOS. It provides everything your team needs to maximize knowledge and optimize your and your customers organization’s IT systems so that you are protecting the business and achieving the goals. Take a look at the intuitive interface and preview the content. Operating systems, containers, and virtualization are the fundamental building blocks of the modern IT infrastructure. Whether your customer’s hardware is in their data center or in the Cloud, Oracle Linux provides the reliability, scalability, security, and performance you and they need for today’s demanding enterprise workloads. Make sure you and your team are trained to unleash all of its potential.

Did you know that the very first Earth Day saw 20 million Americans take to the streets? That’s a lot of civic interest in a pilot initiative. One would hope that if we were counting, that turnout would be double or triple today. Especially given the current changes in our earth’s climate patterns. Environmental awareness and protection are topics that should be on our minds year-round, but we’re reminded of it a little extra throughout the month of April. Our peers may volunteer to pick up trash, social media may have us re-tweeting an inspirational green initiative, and your organization may be reminding you to sort your office waste each day. These reminders are positive and can help move the needle, but how about taking an extra step this year? Are you working with a customer that is using an Oracle product to help with a sustainability initiative while reducing costs? Saving energy? Saving gas? Saving water? Your customer may use Oracle Cloud solutions to drive down power consumption, Oracle Transportation Management to reduce fleet emissions, analytics to report on environmental performance, the internet of things to monitor environmental impacts in real time, big data to optimize environmental performance, or one of many other products. Submit a nomination form by Friday June 21 if your customer is using any Oracle product to take an environmental lead, as well as to reduce costs and improve business efficiencies using green business practices. Oracle Executive Vice Chairman of the Board Jeff Henley and Oracle Chief Sustainability Officer Jon Chorley will present these awards at Oracle OpenWorld 2019 in San Francisco (September 15-19). We hope to learn about what you and your customers are doing in the sustainability space, and we hope to see you at OOW in San Francisco this fall. By nominating a customer now, we can keep environmentalism, sustainability, and our earth top of mind beyond just April.

By: Kate Farrow, Oracle 2018 saw major changes in the development world and this year promises to be even more transformational. Which skills to learn? Let’s review some major milestones and stories from 2018 and see how they are shaping current events and driving predictions for the future of developers in 2019.   Security and Performance With Google and Facebook each exposing the data of more than 50 million users in 2018 and with the materialization of vulnerabilities such as Meltdown and Spectre, security continues to be a major concern with no conclusive solution in sight - as last year’s issues at popular package manager NPM also demonstrated. In 2019, developers should increase their security training, learn HTTPS, and exercise caution when using potentially vulnerable third party libraries. Performance was also a major talking point for developers in 2018, as users began to change their habits in the mobile world: Apps are no longer downloaded as much as they used to be. Indeed, this year is predicted to see more user activity from mobile web browsing than from native mobile apps. To compensate for the comparatively poor performance of mobile internet connection speeds and processing, 2018 saw the emergence of innovative development strategies and best practices to enhance web performance. Oracle’s Siddhartha Agarwal predicts that, due to security concerns, a hybrid application deployment approach will emerge in 2019 to balance security and performance needs. The approach - which will be driven by Cloud service providers - will combine the high performance and efficiency of running in containers with a lightweight virtual machine for increased security and isolation.   Moving from Legacy to the Cloud Agarwal points out that, while Cloud-native is now the default choice for new in-house enterprise development projects, the vast majority of legacy tech stacks are not Cloud-native. He therefore predicts new technologies to emerge in 2019, designed to modernize and containerize legacy apps in order to manage them similarly to Cloud-native apps. This trend will enable experienced developers to build on existing skillsets. Furthermore, developers this year will partner with a platform engineer - an emerging role akin to a system administrator for the Cloud - who will manage and monitor resource availability and security for Cloud-native application development and deployment.   Developments in JavaScript In the dynamic world of JavaScript, there was a big push in 2018 towards popularizing static typing. However, none of the contenders to date - including Microsoft’s TypeScript - is likely to supersede JavaScript as the web’s go-to language. Additionally, Node.js and Express.js are expected to dominate in 2019, having become the principal and standardized way to write backend API servers; while 2018 also saw a significant rise in the popularity of learning GraphQL - which will continue to be a hot topic within the developer community. Last year, React, Angular and Vue focused heavily on improving both the CLI experience and rendering performance - and are all now viable options for building fast front-end applications. With this trend continuing in 2019, it is well worth learning about these libraries. Other significant web development stories in 2018 included the adoption and stability around CSS grid; Microsoft’s switch to a Chromium-based browser; the release of Babel 7.0 to better align the JavaScript ecosystem; the increased prevalence of Progressive Web Apps; and the improved Web Component adoption by the five major browsers.   Simplify with Server-less, but Remember the Fundamentals IT innovations and progressions in 2018 have simplified developers’ lives, increasing their focus on application logic and away from operations. The rise of server-less architecture, Cloud-based autonomous databases, infrastructure-as-a-service and the launch of module bundlers such as Webpack 4 and Parcel enable today’s developer to spend less time worrying about tooling, configurations, patching, provisioning, tuning, and scaling. Argawal predicts that the economics of server-less will drive both its popularity and its innovation in 2019. Expect server-less to rapidly expand into other business areas and an open standard to take shape as developers spread their workloads across several Clouds and select those which avoid vendor lock-in. While managed services and innovations are certainly burgeoning, it is still highly recommended to enhance fundamental skillsets such as system design and good architecture. Learn about data structure and algorithms Boost your SQL knowledge Learn how to build relational databases in a scalable way Computer science fundamentals don’t change and will keep you in good stead for years to come.   Keep up with Innovations In 2019, developers will also increasingly need to understand data science and to integrate its models into their workflows. Agarwal forecasts that by the end of the year, 80% of custom apps will include embedded intelligence as a first-class capability. Future software will need to make use of machine learning to anticipate user needs, so why not boost your skills through machine learning APIs? Argawal also predicts that the prevalence of bots flooding the market will drive the need for intelligent interfaces which can select the right bot for the right task. Blockchain will also feature heavily in 2019, particularly in regulated industries where trust and transparency are key. Developers will be querying data from an external blockchain ledger and can already embed features that call out to a particular Blockchain Cloud service. In 2019, the development world will grow faster than ever before. With technologies such as blockchain, chatbots and machine learning becoming mature enough for real-world projects, developers should be burning with excitement about the opportunities ahead. Seize these through training and validate your knowledge and skills with official certifications.

In the second installment of our Earth (Day) Month series, we bring you a very important topic: Managing food waste! Oracle is one company out of hundreds of thousands nationally and globally. It's disturbing to think how much is thrown out whether catered corporate meals or on-campus cafeteria dining. So after watching the movie Just Eat It we were inspired to have a conversation with Oracle’s Carlos DaSilva, who manages the food services from Bon Appetit at Oracle’s HQ campus. We talked about how he helps manage food waste and other related impacts. Question: After hearing that about one third of the food produced in the world for human consumption every year is lost or wasted, what does Oracle’s HQ campus do to minimize our food waste? Carlos: The Bon Appetit chefs across all the HQ cafes collectively plan menus so that they significantly minimize waste. The chefs are in constant communication and plan menus so that oftentimes they use food items at another café. Once a café closes, they also bring various food items over to the 300 Oracle Parkway Café, which is open later, so that the food items can be sold while still fresh.     Question: For food that Oracle’s HQ cafes cannot reuse, do we do anything to recycle or pass on the leftover food? Carlos: For leftover food that meets our food criteria (for example, not extending beyond the food safety holding time), Oracle participates in a food donation program, “Chefs to End Hunger,” with a group called SF Specialty. The mission of Chefs to End Hunger is to provide meals to the hungry by redistributing the excess prepared food that would normally go to waste to local food agencies who then serve meals to others. Chefs to End Hunger relies on a 100% donation of supplies (for example, boxes and labels), meals, and transportation from participants and plans to one day be implemented nationwide. The chefs at Oracle’s HQ locations pack and label the Chefs to End Hunger boxes, store them in their coolers, and then hand over full boxes to a driver with the goal of providing meals to the hungry.   Question: Does Oracle work with Bon Appetit to provide food that is sourced locally, both to provide healthier food choices, as well as to minimize transportation impacts? Carlos: Oracle and Bon Appetit are in complete alignment in their desire to use locally produced food as much as possible, which is part of the reason for their partnership. 20% of what Bon Appetit chefs buy is produced from within 150 miles of the Oracle campuses. The Bon Appetit chefs also purchase “imperfectly delicious” produce and create recipes to use that produce. For example, they may use bruised bananas that might otherwise be disposed of and instead use them for banana bread. In addition, Oracle has edible gardens at its Santa Clara, Pleasanton, and Oracle Plaza campuses and uses the produce from these gardens in its meals. Oracle continues to grow the number of edible gardens and even has plans to add some beehives to the Pleasanton campus.

From the smallest local credit unions to the largest banks across the globe, there are three significant challenges facing their IT leaders today: Gaining a competitive edge through digital transformation initiatives; Staying ahead of today’s sophisticated cybersecurity landscape; Keeping up with heavy and shifting compliance standards; These challenges present the perfect opportunity for partners to help customers in the Financial Services Industry (FSI) modernize their businesses through selling MySQL Enterprise Edition (EE) licenses and offering services around it.   MySQL is at the Center of Today’s Evolution MySQL is the second most widely deployed database in the world – second only to Oracle. Today’s largest and most disruptive companies like Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and Uber utilize it to power their popular services. Many of your FSI customers are likely already using MySQL Community Edition (the freely downloadable, open source version of MySQL) in some capacity. There are millions of existing users and thousands of new downloads every day, so you don’t need to look far to find potential customers! While MySQL Community Edition is a wonderful and extremely popular product, your FSI customers will benefit from the comprehensive set of advanced features, management tools, and technical support that MySQL EE offers. FSIs will require these features designed for the enterprise to meet the challenges of today’s digital landscape. This opens opportunities for partners to spread the word about the benefits of MySQL EE. MySQL EE is the cloud-native database of choice for microservices and containers, making it possible for small banks and large FSIs to build modern, scalable applications while mitigating some of the risk of using public cloud. This not only allows any FSI to compete at the same level as their biggest competitors, but MySQL EE enables companies to achieve the highest levels of security­­ – giving CIOs and IT professionals peace of mind with advanced features, such as: MySQL Enterprise Authentication MySQL Enterprise Transparent Data encryption (TDE) MySQL Enterprise Firewall MySQL Enterprise Masking and De-identification MySQL Enterprise Audit Designed to help FSIs meet database-specific PCI requirements, such as authenticated access to cardholder data and two-factor authentication for remote access, MySQL EE also contributes to achieving GDPR compliance through tools like MySQL Enterprise Monitor and MySQL Enterprise Workbench, which help assess risk and identify security vulnerabilities.   Case in Point: MySQL in Financial Services Our case studies demonstrate compelling evidence of MySQL EE’s value. In one example, the Bank of Finland used MySQL EE as an embedded database within its product to provide a turnkey, easy to use, and powerful simulation application. An excellent example of innovation in practice, it has since been adopted by over 50 central banks worldwide, as well as other financial and academic institutions for research purposes.  “MySQL represents a very reliable and strong foundation for a computational analysis application like ours and has been a key to its success.” - Matti Hellqvist, Bank of Finland   Partners Can Leverage MySQL EE Licenses to Increase Sales Opportunities Why should existing Oracle partners be interested in positioning MySQL EE to your FSI customers?  By expanding your focus on MySQL EE you can grow your pipeline through new opportunities and services revenue while increasing your bottom line.  Take advantage of the opportunity to: Establish a Steady Stream of Revenue: Selling MySQL EE subscriptions and renewals allows you to generate reliable and predictable income year after year. Expand Your Service Offerings: Wrap services around MySQL EE licenses and take advantage of the high margins that managed services and consulting can generate.  Margins can be increased up to 4x on digital transformation services. Open Source Momentum: Take advantage of the momentum behind open source databases in the marketplace. According to Gartner, by 2022, “more than 70% of new applications developed by corporate users will run on an open source database management system.” Leverage Your Existing Oracle Customer Base: Our research shows that 70% of Oracle Database users already have MySQL Community Edition somewhere in their environment, making MySQL EE the logical leap for improved business value, security, and compliance.   Adding MySQL to Your Solution Mix We encourage you to work with our channel team to expedite the go-to-market timeframes for adding MySQL EE to your solution mix. View this on-demand webcast on best practices for positioning MySQL Enterprise Edition. Get in touch with your Oracle VAD and/or MySQL channel manager. They’re ready to support you with quotes, customer sales conversations, and more. Contact your MySQL channel manager who can provide you with a MySQL download list for your top accounts, so you know which customers to target.

Without risk there can be no innovation, and without innovation there can be no growth. And, of course, without growth there is little hope that your organization can effectively compete—and, ultimately, thrive. It’s no surprise, then, that in a recent survey by PwC, CFOs ranked risk management as one of their top priorities for 2018 and the next three years. But not just any risk management will move the business ahead. Organizations in the past have focused on tactical risk management—in other words, the risk associated with IT and operations. Companies today must focus on proactive, or strategic, risk—that is, risk that affects or is created by business strategy and objectives. Today, risk comes from all directions and in multiple modes, and it has the potential to affect every aspect of the organization—from people to processes to technology platforms. In addition, the window for addressing risk in our global economy is getting smaller as the attack field–and the speed at which news is disseminated and shared–increases. Organizations, therefore, need to think about risk—and risk management—holistically, across all data stores. “Internal control is shifting toward the massive use of data to facilitate and maximize the identification of potential and proven risk,” notes the PwC report. “There are two benefits: it limits sample testing that is restricted in scope and optimizes the ROI of control operations.” To accomplish these goals–while ensuring that the organization is meeting all regulatory compliance, financial, security and other mandates—companies must be constantly vigilant, supported by an integrated technology platform that effectively leverages the cloud, big data, automation, artificial intelligence and machine learning, among other technologies. Companies must also expand their definition of a risk from data breach to disruptive technologies—and beyond. “If you’re a Marriott, in your five-year strategic plan, did you imagine Airbnb?” asked Oracle CEO Mark Hurd at the Oracle Modern Supply Chain Experience 2018. “Did you imagine if you were Hertz, the effect of Uber?” By thinking about risk management in a proactive rather than reactive way, companies will be prepared to imagine almost anything that may—and likely will–come their way. To learn more about developing a strategic risk management strategy, check out these educational videos on the Oracle PartnerNetwork YouTube Channel.

Artificial Intelligence came a long way in 2018, and now increasing numbers of C-level executives and surely all Oracle partners and their customers are wondering what lies in store for AI in 2019, and how they can leverage it to their advantage. Gil Press, writing in Forbes magazine, cites predictions from 120 AI leaders across a wide range of fields. While each has their own unique perspective, there is an overwhelming consensus that this will be a watershed year. AI in 2019 is predicted to: Evolve into considerably more practical and personalized applications Have a major impact on IT security Rapidly permeate and enrich a wide range of industries and business functions - providing a noticeable competitive edge to early adopters and pioneers Increase the demand for highly skilled IT professionals substantially - in a global labor market that is already short of AI talent. Let’s take a closer look at what the experts say. AI becomes more practical, and personal Where 2018 was the year of excitement and publicity in the AI sphere, specialists agree that 2019 will be the year that AI becomes practical, efficient, and personal. “2019 will be a pivotal year for AI in the workplace - the year we move from conversation to impact,” said Oracle’s GVP of HCM Strategy, Gretchen Alarcon. Ram Menon, Founder and CEO at Avaamo, agrees. “AI will get down to work beyond the hype and headlines. Practical AI will rule and augment workplace productivity in new and interesting ways.” Sean Byrnes, CEO and Co-Founder of Outlier and Yaron Hadad, Chief Scientist and Co-Founder of Nutrino, among many others, concur that this year AI is entering the age of real-world application. However, a large part of AI’s practicality in 2019 will be down to its ‘human’ touch. “Vendors will focus more on humanizing AI with empathy,” explains Dr. Rob Walker, Vice President of Decision Management and Analytics at Pegasystems. This is because customers demand to be seen as individuals and not simply data records. And it is this quality of empathy on which it will be judged, notes Rana el Kaliouby, CEO and Co-Founder of Affectiva. Most believe that AI will succeed in taking great strides in empathy and personalization in 2019. “This year, someone will finally know if that special someone really wants a fruitcake or power washer,” said Alan Conboy at Scale Computing. AI advances across industries and functions AI’s footprint will greatly expand in 2019, with many predicting exponential growth in fields where it has already been tried and tested - such automotive and finance. This is especially true in the healthcare sector, where giant leaps are predicted in disease prediction, prevention, diagnostics, and management - particularly in the areas of oncology, radiology, drug development, diabetes, and mental health. By combining data from various sources - including wearables, voice & video and VR - AI will create a more holistic picture and help deliver more individualized care, wherever the patient happens to be. Across all industries, an AI boom is predicted in key business functions including HR, marketing, sales, customer service, and supply chain. There will be a widespread development of AI empathy in chatbots, while AI will continue to innovate within the IT industry itself. “We expect that by 2020, all development will be assisted by AI co-developers that understand developer intent, suggest next best patterns and detect problems before applications go into production,” forecasts Antonio Alegria, Head of AI, OutSystems. Re-evaluating data and security Considering 2018’s high-profile breaches, increased data protection regulations, customer privacy concerns and the prevalence of hackers adding AI technologies to their arsenals of attack, information security officers in 2019 must become experts in leveraging AI to repel all threats. Setu Kulkarni, Vice President of Corporate Strategy, WhiteHat Security, predicts that a new breed of security data scientists will emerge in 2019 - to prepare, process, and interpret the data so that AI can optimize and automate security in real time. Organizations are also likely to re-think their data and security strategies, as more data becomes available from more sources. Specifically, they will need highly skilled AI practitioners, who know how to ask the right security questions and how to leverage internal and third-party data sets and AI for specific business needs. AI learning for all This year, humans and AI will work closer together than ever before - and both IT and non-IT staff must learn more about AI to maximize business opportunities. There will continue to be a lack of qualified AI specialists on all markets, therefore your company must look to constantly develop the AI talents of its own employees to bridge the skills gap. “In 2019, everybody is going to start learning AI,” says Aman Naimat, CTO, Demandbase. “There are only about 5,000 data scientists and we can’t rely on them to lead an industrial revolution. Everyone needs to have AI skills, from product managers to business analysts.” Johnny Ghibril, VP of Data Science & Solution Architecture at B.Yond agrees. “There is a shortage in talent that will affect everyone and strain companies’ ability to deliver.” Ghibril suggests that junior data scientists can help with the deficit, but that “the learning curve will be felt in 2019.” As artificial intelligence becomes an increasingly important part of our personal and professional lives, AI learning will spread throughout society itself in the year ahead. As Josh Feast, CEO and Co-Founder of Cogito puts it, “In 2019, society will push for the demystification of AI and demand a better understanding of what technology is being built.” It’s not easy to foretell the future, but at Oracle University, we predict boundless success in 2019 for all those Oracle partners trained and qualified in AI.

Artificial Intelligence came a long way in 2018, and now increasing numbers of C-level executives and surely all Oracle partners and their customers are wondering what lies in store for AI in 2019,...

Global IT education is growing at 3.9% of the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) - in line with the overall IT services market - but training vendors must focus more on articulating and developing technology business value, according to an updated report from International Data Corporation (IDC). Over the past year, global economic growth has outperformed expectations, and software spending continues to rebound, particularly in the cloud. However, IT training is still growing more slowly than the IT market overall. This is partly because organizations are spending more on technologies requiring little or no training, for example additional server stacks or more storage capacity. Also, there is a trend away from high-cost training modalities such as classroom-based learning, as companies increasingly recognize the benefits of individualized eLearning for IT skills development. However, IDC reports that training vendors are still struggling with messaging - particularly the linkage between education and the achievement of organizational objectives. Training and technology companies must therefore seek to promote the IT education value proposition in terms of adoption and business value, instead of merely project enablement and a successful go-live. Updated IT education forecasts by region The need to define and communicate IT education as a driver for business success is particularly compelling in the US, where growth in IT training spend historically tracks a couple of percentage points behind growth in IT services overall. This contrasts with EMEA and Asia/Pacific regions, where growth in IT education outpaces IT services overall by a percentage point or two. In its latest report, IDC has positively revised its outlook for IT education growth in EMEA - projecting a 2% improvement in the CAGR for the forecast period through 2021. This change is largely driven by a 10% increase in spending expectations in Central and Eastern Europe. For Asia/Pacific, IDC has slightly lowered its growth forecast to 3.5% CAGR, predominantly due to reduced expectations in Japan. While the overall growth rate for IT education in each region remains fairly stable, it is growing the fastest in the Americas, at 5.1% CAGR. This is due to strong US spending on new technology, combined with the rapidly emerging market of Latin America - where growth in IT training now tracks several percentage points higher than IT services overall. IDC forecasts that by 2021, the Americas will account for more than half (50.3%) of all IT education spending worldwide. US IT education opportunities The largest training opportunity overall in the United States is in the application software category, which includes commercial, industrial, and technical programs designed to automate processes and increase individual or departmental productivity. However, the fastest-growing training opportunity in the US is in the application development software markets. This is driven by increasing customer demands to digitally transform their business operations and transition to the cloud. New development languages, environments, and tools (DLET) are emerging here, necessitating continuous skills evolution. And for the larger, more complex tool and platform offerings, strong certification programs are essential for building stronger platform adoption. Meanwhile, opportunities also abound in the system infrastructure software market, which is the most diverse, and which leverages the widest set of vendor-sponsored technical certifications. Strategies for education vendors Globally, there will be plenty of opportunities for IT training vendors in the coming years. Business demand for IT talent remains high; there is a continued scarcity of IT skills on all labor markets; and the IT education market itself is projected to total more than USD20 billion by 2021. To fully leverage these opportunities, IT education vendors need to focus on establishing training as a value driver to the business impact of software adoption or system implementation. Specifically, they should seek to: Identify and communicate how training impacts the business value of the technology Articulate clearly the differences between skilled and unskilled IT professionals or business users Guide customers toward training programs which suit specific organizational objectives and which develop higher-skilled employee profiles Leverage adoption monitoring tools; and develop triggers for learning interventions In terms of content and delivery, training vendors should: Focus on high-growth content areas - including collaborative applications, structured data management software, and integration and process automation middleware. Continue to offer and expand learning flexibility and convenience Include a practice element within training courses - using live and simulated labs, and other activities that support the repetitive use of skills learned Champion digital learning - which is consistently seen as the appropriate method for delivering IT skills content Based on the above findings and recommendations of the latest IDC study, Oracle University is extremely well positioned to meet the world’s and our Oracle partners emerging IT education needs and to maximize the business value of enterprise technology of our partners and their customers. Please reach out to us so that we can determine the solution to your training needs.

By Guest Author: Kate Farrow, Senior Marketing Manager, Oracle University EMEA   Are you and your customers ready? Are their data secure? How can you be sure? In the first half of 2018, more than 4.5 billion data records were compromised worldwide - an increase of 133% over the same period in 2017. Many of the targets were in the banking, healthcare, and social network industries - at companies where customers could expect that their data were secured with the highest levels of protection. According to digital security company Gemalto, North America is still the worst hit for data breaches - with the USA accounting for 72% of all records stolen. Indeed, the personal information of hundreds of millions of Americans was compromised during the June 2018 breach at marketing company Exactis. Meanwhile, Europe saw a 28% increase in the number of records breached - and the severity of attacks is increasing worldwide and across all sectors.   Can your business and your customers’ business afford a data breach? Calculating the cost of data breaches is not easy - it stretches far beyond costs incurred through ransomware. Facebook’s breach in March 2018 knocked more than 100 billion US dollars off the share price within days, while fines imposed by the US Federal Trade Commission could still cost the company trillions of dollars. Perhaps one of the biggest impacts of a data breach to a company’s bottom line comes from the loss of customer trust. In the retail industry - where 80% to 90% of people logging on to e-commerce websites are using stolen data - customers are switching brands to safeguard their information. Business Insider cites a recent study by KPMG showing that 19% of consumers would completely stop shopping at a retailer after a data breach, while as many as 33% would take an extended break. How would Oracle partners and their customers fare if they suddenly lost one third of their customers overnight? While there are many factors affecting the overall cost to each business, a 2018 study shows that data breaches are becoming increasingly expensive year-on-year - currently averaging 3.86 million US dollars globally (up 6.4%), and 7.91 million US dollars in the USA. Some reports have estimated that the total annual cost of data breaches in 2020 will exceed 2 trillion US dollars.   Trends in security spend With so much at stake, and the risks and costs only increasing, companies are investing more resources to counter data security threats. A 2017 Gartner report estimated the total global security budget for 2018 would be 96 billion US dollars - an 8% increase over 2017; while a previous IDC report forecasted spending on security related hardware, software, and services to reach more than 91 billion US dollars - a year-on-year increase of more than 10%. A significant rise in security spend for 2018 was certainly expected - not least due to stricter data privacy laws such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) - however, the total figure may have exceeded all expectations. The more recent 2018 U.S. State of Cybercrime study cites an increase of 27% in the average IT security budget.   Learning to Boost Security With data breaches continuing to topple both big and small names like dominoes, companies across all sectors are desperate to tighten the security around their data - and those that aren’t are almost certain to pay the price. There has never been a better time than now to enhance your business value as an Oracle partner by boosting your IT security knowledge. As the developer of the world’s number one database, Oracle has a vested interest in both the Oracle partners’ own cybersecurity as well as that implemented by Oracle partners for their customers and it therefore offers the cream of training when it comes to protecting data. Oracle Database Security training shows you how to address data privacy, protect against insider threats and achieve regulatory compliance for both Oracle and non-Oracle databases. Oracle Security Cloud Services training explains the business and technical essentials of Oracle Cloud Security solutions, teaches you about emerging cloud security standards and helps you become a Cloud Security Administrator. In view of the increasingly sophisticated attacks, it is essential for you as an Oracle partner to keep your security skills constantly up-to-date. Oracle University helps you achieve this by offering year-round training with Oracle Learning Subscriptions, which are continually updated so your knowledge stays fresh. The Oracle Security Learning Subscription provides IT professionals with 24/7 access to high quality digital learning content designed specifically to increase security expertise. The subscription format enables you to learn whenever and wherever you choose - and is particularly useful when security issues are critical and you need to rapidly dip into specific content. The Oracle Cloud Security Learning Subscription is an ideal choice for cloud security administrators who are helping their organizations transition to the cloud. With a comprehensive set of learning paths, this subscription extends your existing skillset to the cloud by leveraging use cases based on real world examples and practical applications. Enhance your security skill set with Oracle University. Both you and our customers, will be eternally grateful.

And just like that, Oracle OpenWorld 2018 has come and gone. For those of you that joined us in San Francisco last month, we hope you had a great onsite experience at the conference and traveled home safely. For those that weren’t able to make it this year, we felt you there with us in spirit! You can continue to make the most of OpenWorld by checking out all of the partner-specific content we offered at the conference, including messaging from the Global Partner Executive Summit and the InFocus partner session presentations.  In the meantime, here’s a quick recap of some of the fun memories from the Partner Experience for you to enjoy. Congratulations to our Oracle Excellence Award winners! We’d like to start by recognizing our amazing 2018 Global Oracle Excellence Award winning partners. We so enjoyed spending time with you taking photos, filming video references in the OPN Lounge and hearing from you firsthand during the Global Partner Executive Summit. We are so proud to partner with you. Congratulations on this significant achievement! OPN Lounge The famed OPN Lounge found a new home in the Marriott Marquis’ SoMa Room this year, and rumor has it that this was our best venue yet. The lounge served as a hub for partner meetings at the OPN Connection Tables and for two information stations for questions about the OPN program and opportunities for ISVs. The décor and ambiance also made for an inviting oasis where partners could chat informally or simply relax and recharge before hitting the conference again.    InFocus Partner Sessions The 2018 InFocus program saw ~400 attendees across Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. This year was particularly memorable with the hotel strikers right outside the InFocus room window (thank you to those that stayed focused and positive despite the excitement and background noise!). Some of our most popular 2018 topics included enablement and certification, partner marketing tools and resources, opportunities to develop on Oracle Cloud, and Oracle ERP Cloud and Oracle EPM Cloud. We’ve made the InFocus presentations accessible to view, download or share so that every Oracle partner – whether you went to San Francisco or not – can hear the latest. Well, that barely scratches the surface of the always-exciting week of OpenWorld. If you haven’t already caught up on the keynotes from Larry Ellison, Mark Hurd and other Oracle executives, we definitely recommend watching the replays or reading up on the announcement highlights. The best part is, we won’t have to wait a whole year to see you again, because Oracle OpenWorld is going global in 2019!
