I second the #trainwreck. There is zero chance that the kids who, while nice and smart, know next to nothing about enterprise sales and the crappy products that oracle sells will be successful. ZERO! The 3 stooges are cost cutting oracle into irrelevance, just like HP, all while 2 of the plus TK and DD are all selling their oracle shares as fast as they only can. They know it’s over!

You dont need to worry about it working (this new sales model), it wont.
Here's why:
Even IF the college kids are as AWESOME and SMART as MH says they are, they dont have anything more to sell than the seasoned, experienced pro's do/did. The Oracle Cloud is a nascent venture. While AZURE and AWS and Google Cloud and all the rest are on the 6th or 7th generation cloud architectures... Meanwhile, Oracle is on version 1.
Yep, that's the real story. Its no joke. These cats in Redwood Shores at the top think that the cloud washing deals and "free" cloud software from Oracle HCM, ERP, Service and CX with your annual support renewal will enamor clients into adopting Oracle SaaS, until they DO IT. Then the clients experience what they got was slow, dodgy software in a generation 1 cloud environment that is fraught with errors and outages and no modern features.
Then when it comes time for renewal of THAT SaaS that was "free" and exciting, Oracle gets the KNIFE OUT again and they will TWIST it. This time it will be the kiddos in the HUBS who negotiate. Its going to be fun to watch.
