The Biggest OpenWorld 2016 Takeaway
A Guest Post by Oracle Vice President Natalia Rachelson, Cloud Applications, Outbound Product Management (pictured left)
What an amazing conference, full of crazy energy and excitement fueled by music from Gwen Stefani and Sting. Ha! Try to top that!
All the billboards and buildings surrounding Moscone Conference Center were covered in Oracle Cloud posters with quotes from Oracle Cloud customers. For Oracle SaaS, the saying "proof is in the pudding" could not ring more true this year as almost every apps session included customers speaking on behalf of our solutions. "Yes and Yes" to more customer advocates!
As Oracle EVP Steve Miranda told one audience, "There's nothing I could do or say that represents us as well as you, our customers." Here's a sampling of the invaluable advice that happy Oracle SaaS customers dispensed to their colleagues during the conference:
- Spend time upfront on business process simplification and normalization (SaaS = No Customizations)
- Leverage solution configurations to tailor the app to meet your specific business needs
- For truly unique requirements, consider extending the apps with PaaS
- Remember that out-of-the-box solutions have industry best practices built in, so use them; they will make your lives easier
- Trust Oracle. Everyone who grapples with various security questions ends up with the same conclusion—Oracle can handle security a lot better than we can. Leave it to the expert.
- There's the prospect of sleeping better. Compared to on premises, Oracle Cloud is a lot more secure at every single layer from hardware to applications delivery with data encrypted in transit and at rest.
Note: A typical $1B enterprise spends $30M on IT (all of IT including security), Oracle invested $7B across the entire red stack and inclusive of cloud operations on R&D and security.
- Get ready to consume innovation, and lots of it, with every single release. Releases come at least twice a year.
- Change management is king. Users must be ready to consume new stuff. Once they get the hang of it, they will keep asking for more.
- It's OK to be a straddler. If you're not ready to go full cloud, no problem keeping some applications on premises for a while.
Note: Customers can meet any integration challenge using Oracle's range of solutions from pre-built adapters and accelerators to Integration Cloud Services to fully integrated cloud solutions.
The tipping point
- It's not just about cost. While cost savings are an indisputable value, the even bigger value is the ability to be modern, nimble, and agile; to dazzle employees with new shiny work tools; to let them spend their creative energy on what matters to your business, instead of reconciling multiple Excels and manual data uploads and downloads.
Note: And, how about an adaptive intelligence system that uses reams of data and your own business intelligence to recommend your employees next best action/step/offer that they should undertake as if they have a brainstorming partner right there with them. How about that?
Now this
The possibilities with cloud and Oracle SaaS are truly endless. Encourage your prospects and customers to come join our party and let the OpenWorld 2016 music never stop.
Get Ready for the Hottest, New Machine Learning and Data-Powered Apps
A Guest Post by Oracle Vice President Melissa Boxer (pictured left)
Have you ever wondered how Pandora, Netflix, and Uber make it possible for you to create personalized music sets, find movies worth watching, or get from point A to B? These services are all powered by sophisticated machine learning algorithms that continuously learn about you—delivering what you need most, just when you want it.
A New Category of Apps
Now you can get the same amazing experiences with Oracle Applications. We are announcing a powerful new category of decision science and data-driven apps at OpenWorld that add value to our CX, HCM, ERP and SCM cloud applications.
You may have heard competitors announce product strategies with character names like Watson, Holmes, or Einstein. The difference between them and us is that we're delivering real software and real apps, not just smart-sounding platforms that require customers to build solutions from scratch. Instead, Oracle is taking an applications-first approach in order to provide immediate value to our customers. (Genius, I know.)
Intelligence Powered by Data
The key to these new apps is that they're powered by enormous amounts of consumer and business data from Oracle's Data Cloud—anonymized, of course. Data Cloud has over five billion profiles, 45,000 attributes, and reaches 90 percent of US online audiences with an active digital ID. The combination of data and decision science provides tremendous insight about an individual and others like them within a given context (e.g. temperature, location, social activity, and more). This means they can deliver smarter results at an individual level.
Adaptive and Continuously Learning
These apps are also adaptive. They continuously react, learn, and adapt to your changing needs and patterns. Let's say you're a regular coffee drinker and go to your neighborhood cafe every day. Wouldn't it be nice if, on a hot day, your local coffee house sent you an offer for an iced coffee instead? That's a smart app—understanding what you like and taking into account the context to make a highly personalized offer. And, the app will learn from your response and deliver something even more personalized the next time. This is just one example of the many ways these apps can be used across different domains and industries.
I feel strongly that Oracle is poised for incredible success as both a category maker and category leader in this emerging space. We have the largest data exchange, most complete applications portfolio, best decision scientists, and the first and only applications-first approach. No other vendor can touch that.
At OpenWorld, Vice President Jack Berkowitz and SVP Clive Swan (head of the AI team) will present a session entitled From Netflix to the Enterprise [CON7023] on Tuesday, September 20, 11:00 – 11: 45 a.m. in Moscone West, Room 2012. They will be showcasing all of our apps across CX, HCM, SCM, and ERP and reviewing our product architecture and roadmap.

Oracle CPQ Cloud, the Gift that Keeps Giving, at Oracle OpenWorld 2016
A Guest Post by Chris Haussler, Senior Principal Product Manager, Oracle (pictured left)
In the 1920s, an advertising salesman delivered the slogan. The gift that keeps giving, to market a record player. The idea was that if you gave this record player as a gift, the recipient would think of you every time he used it. Pretty clever.
What does this have to do with software? I'll go out on a limb: CPQ Cloud is the front-office software gift that keeps giving. Like the record player, CPQ Cloud's customers earn incrementally more benefit the more they use it. Don't believe me?
Proof of Benefit
As you'd expect, companies that invest in front-office transformation tools, such as marketing automation, SFA, and CPQ, get benefits from the increased efficiency that these tools bring to their processes. But after that initial efficiency windfall, it's important not to get complacent. The potential opportunity is much greater. Persistent use of CPQ Cloud not only helps sales reps serve customers day-to-day, it also builds a storehouse of information about buying behaviors and product mix. This data can be used to optimize product offerings, sales processes, and channel sell-through.
The result: better sales resource utilization, improved margin, and superior market competitiveness.
It Keeps on Giving
But here's how CPQ Cloud continues its gifting ways. As markets change, the opportunities to review and retune CPQ Cloud continue, offering incremental improvements again and again. CPQ Cloud administration offers the easy-to-use tools to get these changes to market quickly. After 15+ years in the market, we've realized that the best CPQ Cloud customers use the tool not only for sales automation, but to drive continual growth and profit.
Key Sessions at OpenWorld
At Open World 2016, CPQ Cloud offers content for customers at every stage: whether new to sales transformation or looking for the next step in their sales optimization journey.
For beginners in every industry, we recommend a survey of sessions to see how Oracle CPQ Cloud can be combined with other products in the Oracle portfolio:
- Maximize Results from Oracle Sales Cloud and Oracle CPQ Cloud [CON6937]
- Graduate to full Quote-to-Cash in the Cloud with CPQ Cloud integrated to Oracle ERP and Oracle SCM Clouds [CON7079]
- Optimize Customer Engagement with a Multi-Pillar Oracle Customer Experience Solution [CON7958]
- Connect Oracle CPQ Cloud to E-Business Suite [CON7078]
Financial Services and Communications companies have sessions that demonstrate CPQ Cloud's ability to serve the distinct sales processes in those industries:
- Oracle CX for Financials Services – CPQ Cloud [CON7080]
- Oracle CX for Communications – CPQ Cloud [CON7081]
Of interest to all, but particularly relevant for CPQ Cloud customers seeking that next ROI-building transformation:
- What's Your CPQ Maturity? A Business Panel Discussion [CON7076]
- Oracle Configure, Price, and Quote Roadmap [CON6320]

We encourage you to attend OpenWorld 2016 and participate in the CPQ Cloud sessions that speak to your needs. As CPQ Cloud is the gift that keeps giving, you will be glad you did ... again and again.

Steve Miranda's CXOTALK: Will Data Make Apps Smarter?
If you want to know what Steve Miranda is going to talk about at OpenWorld, his interview with ZDNet columnist Michael Krigsman provides a few clues. One topic sure to get top billing is data—as in Data Cloud's ability to combine third-party data (cookies, mobile ID, credit card purchases, etc.) with first-party data.
You've probably heard about Data Cloud in the context of marketing. If you've ever clicked on an item in one web site and then seen ads for that item on another web site, you've experienced the power of data.Instead of targeting broad customer segments, marketers can now connect digital identities across marketing channels (Facebook and Twitter handles) and devices (desktops, tablets, mobile devices) and target anonymous—with emphasis on anonymous—individuals.
But here's where Miranda's talk gets really interesting. He says that we're only at the beginning of potential uses of Data Cloud. For example, you could create highly compelling, next-best offers by combining purchase data from Commerce Cloud with external purchase intent data. Or you could determine whether or not to take a supplier discount based on real-time currency rates or supplier ratings. To hear Steve describe his vision, click here.
Steve sums up the future of apps in this way: "Collect as much data as you can, use that data to make better product, and that's where we think it's going to go in SaaS."
Guaranteed, this won't be the last time you hear the words data and applications together.
Now is the Time. This is the Place. ERP Cloud at OpenWorld 2016.

Oracle Supply Chain Cloud Takes Off at OpenWorld 2016
A Guest Post by Jon Chorley, Oracle CSO & Group Vice President, SCM Product Strategy & PLM (pictured left)
A great deal has happened since Oracle OpenWorld last year. I'm not talking about the daily shocks and counter-shocks of the U.S. election, nor Britain's unexpected decision to exit the EU, nor the thrills and challenges of the recently concluded Rio Olympics. As strange, as surprising, and at times as amusing, as those have been, I'm talking about the change that has taken place in supply chain.
Last year at OpenWorld we announced our plans to deliver the broadest suite of built-for-the-cloud, enterprise-class supply chain applications. And that is exactly what we have done. The Oracle Supply Chain Cloud is here. Already some 1,000 customers have committed to some or all of these solutions and that number is accelerating.
What do businesses need from supply chain solutions?
When we started this journey, we recognized that businesses need three things from new supply chain solutions:
- Solutions designed and built for the modern supply chain and the modern supply chain user that can be deployed in the cloud. Yesterday's systems on cloud are no better than yesterday's systems on premise. Oracle took the harder road and it has paid off.
- Comprehensive capabilities that enable businesses to operate their end-to-end supply chain—not piece-part solutions that they have to stitch together themselves.
- A practical path to the cloud. Businesses need a clear target and end goal, with the ability to deploy and to realize value as they go. This requires a vendor with the strategic vision and wherewithal to deliver continuous innovation that can be adopted and leveraged as needed.
How is Oracle addressing these needs?
At this OpenWorld we'll demonstrate in detail how we have addressed these needs. Using a combination of education sessions, customer speakers, forums, access to experts, and of course the Demo Grounds, you will be able to see the potential for your company, hear how your fellow customers are approaching this transition, and get a clear sense of our product roadmap. (See SCM Central @ OpenWorld for details.)
Along with the overview sessions, there are four main tracks covering your primary business flows with ample opportunities to explore each. They are:
- Ideate to Commercialize: Everything you need to maximize your return in innovation spend and to control the complete lifecycle of your product information
- Source to Settle: Covering the full procurement lifecycle and supporting both direct and indirect material with full integration to supply chain processes
- Order to Cash: Comprehensive order management, combined with the ability to support omni-channel capture and fulfilment; also full transportation and global trade management
- Plan to Build: Next-generation planning designed to empower the "citizen planner," combined with comprehensive discrete manufacturing capabilities supporting a wide variety of manufacturing methods
Key SCM Cloud sessions at OpenWorld
See the Session Catalog 2016 for the full schedule and many more sessions:
- General Session: Oracle Supply Chain Cloud [GEN6347] Speakers: Richard Jewell, SVP, Applications Development; Randy Chinn, Partner, IBM; Sarosh Khan, Associate Partner, IBM

Hollander Adds New Channel, Goes Direct to Consumers Fast With Oracle Commerce Cloud
Headquartered in Boca Raton, Florida, Hollander Sleep Products is the largest bed pillow and mattress pad manufacturer in North America. The company also has major distribution agreements across North America with brands including Beautyrest, Ralph Lauren, and Nautica, among others.
Hollander has been very successful in the B2B space, manufacturing and marketing its in-house brand Live Comfortably. It also has done very well distributing other company's products to retailers. But, as you know, retail and distributor businesses have been under great pressure in recent years. So in 2015, the company looked to expand its business model and take its in-house brand Live Comfortably direct to consumers—but it had no direct, consumer retail/commerce experience. To accomplish its goal, Hollander teamed up with Oracle and put Oracle Commerce Cloud to work. Listen to the story from these two Hollander executives:
- CIO's Perspective: Live Comfortably Builds a Beautiful Ecommerce Experience
- SVP of Marketing's Perspective: Live Comfortably's Success with Direct-to-Consumer Sales

Pella will share how Oracle Service Cloud has helped its contact center agents and field technicians deliver consistent, high-quality customer experiences across channels including web, phone, chat, social media and during in-person appointments. According to Rick Hassman, CIO, Pella, "Having these capabilities provides an experience that our competition can't deliver."
You can read more about Pella's story in this Forbes OracleVoice article.
Salesforce Buys SteelBrick—What Does it Mean for Oracle CX Cloud and CPQ?
A Guest Post by VP Chris Shutts, Oracle Cloud Development (pictured left)
Just like Oracle, Salesforce from time to time snaps up hot start ups and large established players to round out its enterprise applications portfolio. These acquisitions normally do not involve SFDC's Force.com partners. So, in December 2015 when Salesforce announced its intent to acquire SteelBrick (a CPQ vendor on the Force.com platform), a ripple went through the rest of the Force.com ecosystem.
This acquisition was not good news for other Force.com based CPQ solutions such as Apttus. SteelBrick is a relatively simple solution, mostly focused toward small and mid-market companies requiring configuration capability in their sales process. Cash-hungry Apttus, who now may need to make some staffing and R&D decisions that would make them less competitive, has also tried to serve this market in recent years, making both these companies direct and common competitors in the ecosystem.
In any case, our own CPQ Cloud, based on the BigMachines' acquisition, is rock solid and has been enjoying very strong market momentum. The solution is frequently sold and/or added to existing Sales Cloud, Commerce, and SCM Cloud instances.
Upsides for Oracle
Trefis Team published Here's The Reason Behind Salesforce.com's Acquisition of SteelBrick in Forbes.com and said, "The purchase doubtlessly adds additional firepower to Salesforce's industry-leading Sales Cloud…" However, I see real upsides for Oracle. The SteelBrick acquisition unquestionably helps validate the importance of configuration, pricing, and quoting in the overall sales process.
Also SteelBrick's solution and Oracle's CPQ Cloud are not in the same league. Oracle CPQ Cloud is a CPQ application delivered in the cloud that can handle complex products, high transaction volumes, and large user populations. CPQ applications help solve complicated business problems, and therefore require lots of technology investment and time to perfect. Our product has matured for 16 years and delivers innovation and value to great companies, such as HP, ADP, Vodafone, Schneider-Electric, and Siemens.

Interpol Releases (Free!) New Song, "Lights"
Courtesy of Matador
Ah, Interpol, we've missed you. The last we heard from the New York City foursome, they were announcing that a new album was in the works. Drummer Sam Fogarino told Paste in November 2009 that the album, their fourth full-length, will be returning to the sound of Turn on the Bright Lights. So yes, even Interpol has acknowledged that their last album wasn't so Interpol-like, with Fogarino chalking it up to the band's lack of cohesiveness at that moment.
Though it's been kinda quiet in the Interpol world lately (with a few side solo projects here and there), there is some good news: Interpol has released a new track, "Lights"--and it's freeee!
The following e-mail showed up in my in-box today:
Hello everyone.
We're stirring.
Please take a moment to visit our website: www.interpolnyc.com
We want to show you something.
And make sure you come back soon.
We will be posting important information and dates in the coming weeks.
Thank you.
So all you have to do is visit Interpol's official site, provide your birth date and e-mail address and the mp3 will be e-mailed to you.
Be warned, the song's what I'd call a "grower." There's your typically dark, fuzzy, Interpol-y riffs, but the first thing that came to mind when listening was Black Sabbath and "Electric Funeral." No, seriously:

text: 000 FNUS28 KWNS 252159 FWDD38 Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0458 PM CDT Tue Apr 25 2017 Valid 271200Z - 031200Z Enhanced mid-level winds over the western CONUS should foster increased fire weather concerns across portions of the Southwest and southern Plains through much of the extended forecast period. Elevated to critical conditions will be possible most afternoons from Day 3/Thursday through at least Day 6/Sunday across parts of these regions. ...Day 3/Thursday - Day 8/Tuesday: Portions of the Southwest and Southern Plains... A mid-level jet axis will remain centered over the Southwest and southern High Plains on Day 3/Thursday. Latest guidance remains in good agreement with the overlap of strong low-level winds across NM into west TX with critically lowered RH values. Therefore, the 70%/critical area has been maintained with no changes across parts of central/southern NM into far west TX, where fuels are expected to remain favorable for large fire starts. Medium-range guidance is consistent in showing amplification of an upper trough/low over the Great Basin/Four Corners area on Day 4/Friday. A 40%/marginal area has been maintained with minor changes across parts of the southern High Plains to account for the possibility of a sufficient overlap of strong/gusty winds and lowered RH values. A separate 40%/marginal area has been expanded from the lower CO River Valley eastward into parts of western AZ per latest guidance, as strong northwesterly mid-level winds should translate to the surface and combine with RH values approaching critical levels. For Day 5/Saturday, the strongest mid-level winds associated with an eastward-moving upper trough/low should remain confined to a narrow corridor across the Southwest and southern High Plains. Confidence has increased sufficiently in strong low-level winds occurring across this corridor to introduce a 40%/marginal area for Day 5/Saturday extending from the lower CO River Valley to the southern High Plains. Guidance differs on the degree of RH reduction across these regions, however, precluding a 70%/critical delineation. For Day 6/Sunday, the upper trough/low centered over the Plains should develop northeastward towards the upper MS Valley and Upper Midwest, with a belt of enhanced northwesterly mid-level winds mainly confined to parts of TX along the Rio Grande. Enough agreement exists amongst medium-range model guidance in the placement of strong/gusty winds and lowered RH values to introduce a 40%/marginal area from west TX along the Rio Grande Valley to deep south TX on Day 6/Sunday. By Day 7/Monday and continuing into Day 8/Tuesday, it appears that the potential for widespread critical fire weather conditions may lessen somewhat across the Southwest and southern High Plains, as enhanced mid-level flow remains mostly displaced to the north and east of these regions. Therefore, no probabilities have been included at this extended time frame. ...Day 4/Friday - Day 5/Saturday: Portions of Southern CA... Strong northwesterly winds associated with a mid-level jet should overspread portions of central/southern CA Friday afternoon. A strengthening surface pressure gradient across the Great Basin and CA may also lend some support to gusty offshore northerly to northeasterly winds across portions of southern CA from Day 4/Friday into Day 5/Saturday. Confidence in RH values becoming lowered and fuels being receptive remains high enough to continue a 40%/marginal area across portions of southern CA for both days. Mid-level flow and the surface pressure gradient are forecast to weaken by Day 6/Sunday, which should lessen the fire weather threat. ...Day 3/Thursday - Day 6/Sunday: Portions of the FL Peninsula... A relatively dry low-level airmass is forecast to remain across much of the FL peninsula through at least Day 6/Sunday in the wake of a prior frontal intrusion. RH values may fall near to/below critical thresholds each afternoon across interior portions of the FL peninsula. However, forecast wind speeds do not appear sufficiently strong to support widespread critical fire weather conditions any day, which precludes the introduction of 40%/marginal probabilities. ..Gleason.. 04/25/2017 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product... $$

Earning a bachelor's degree is achieved by completing the necessary course of study offered by the college or university you enroll in. Completing this study may take three to seven years depending on where you seek your degree.
New Zealand is an island country in the southwestern Pacific Ocean. The country geographically comprises two main landmasses ‒ that of the North and South Islands ‒ and numerous smaller islands. Overseas students need to have a student visa and a reasonable level of cash to spend in order to undertake a course of study at a New Zealand based educational institution. New Zealand educational institutions will inform the appropriate immigration authorities if a student ceases to attend their enrolled courses, who may then suspend or cancel that student's visa. Educational institutions often also exchange this enrollment and attendance data electronically with other government agencies responsible for providing student assistance.

Strange Snacks of the World: Natakhtari Tarragon Soda
Green, but not particularly jolly.
While flora like cherries, grapes, and limes were long ago co-opted by the soda industry, tarragon remains something of a domestic rarity. Not so in Georgian restaurants, where tarragon soda is as common as khatchapuri and floor shows. Looking like mouthwash and smelling like licorice, the beverage, which is marketed as "Georgian natural fizzy drink," presents intriguing possibilities.
But sadly, although its radioactive green hue would suggest otherwise, there is no actual tarragon in tarragon soda. Instead, there's spring water, sugar, "natural fruits flavor," lemon acid, caramel color, sodium benzoate, and natural carbonate. "Natural fruits flavor" tastes nothing like the herb and everything like cough medicine.
On the whole, the beverage, which is made by Natakhtari, is disappointing, although sugar fiends may appreciate how tooth-decayingly sweet it is and its color may delight sci-fi and fantasy aficionados. Any interested parties can easily locate it in one of the numerous storefronts lining Brighton Beach Avenue -- this particular specimen, which cost $1.59, was procured at the rather extraordinary M&I International Foods.
