We have no real cloud technology, data centers or architects (anymore)
I recall we "pivoted to cloud" about 4 years ago and tried to force customers off onprem. It was so unsuccessful that we gave cloud credits and started shady financial cover ups to pretend we had customers buying cloud. I don't see this approach... — read more

Why Oracle need two(if not three) CEOs?
Many companis have bigger market and revenue such as Apple, MS... They only hired one CEO. Why Oracle need two(if not three) CEOs?
LE and Oracle missed the cloud in the same way Microsoft missed mobile.
We had some early products the same way Microsoft had early Windows Mobile. When AWS came and changed the world we arrogantly sneered that we already did that, the same way that Microsoft did when the iPhone launched. By the time we realised it was... — read more
