Thread regarding Oracle Corp. layoffs

Future of Oracle Cloud?

Oracle cloud is here to stay. Few years back when i moved to splunk, i used to hear Oracle 1 out of 10 customers. These days I see at least 2-3 customers. Enterprises are adopting hybrid, or multi cloud vendor. Those who say no are ‘L O S E R S’

With all due respect, I don’t think so at all. I might like it to stay, but for now I don’t see a bright future for Oracle Cloud as @3biy+17YRM5fg does. What do you think?

Oracle will in 5-10 years will be brought down like HP Inc. Larry is 78 years and Safra cannot take Oracle alone to the next level. Oracle will either be brought up by Amazon/Microsoft/Google/Salesforce in a decade.

Oracle Cloud is not going anywhere - in both a positive and negative sense. It will be around because it powers adb and apps but it will never compete with leading cloud vendors who have vision and come up with new ideas.

and how is OCI Support these days? Still working to k–l the cloud through poor support? Still not answering SRs properly but closing them in a week and forcing new SRs to be created? Still waiting months for things to be provisioned? Still untrained frontline engineers who have zero idea of how to actually support a customer?
Just wondering.

Way too many incompetent sales reps for Oracle to make inroads in the cloud space. Too many sales reps being hired for the wrong reasons. The quality of Sales Reps being hired needs to improve dramatically.

COVID-19 has increase Oracle Cloud profits substantially. Our data centers are packed with bits and bytes to such an extent we can get any more in there.

When Oracle starts reporting cloud revenue separately from any other revenue and it is doing well, then cloud is ok. That has not happened and I don’t think it ever will. Oracle never invested the money that other companies have. It will never succeed.

Let's be honest with ourselves, its not going anywhere. Look at the earnings reports ffs the growth of SaaS is >30% yoy and IaaS is >100% you.

People on this site are 1. Salty and 2. Delusional

Sad, really, no new net sales, which equates to no new Greenfield. And organic growth of existing customers, which will be incremental at best, assuming customer support hasn't p-ss-d them off enough to watch them jump. Will not grow the company to another billion dollars.
Worse with COVID-19, the super SARS-2, many companies are now actively reviewing the actual costs of doing Buisness with Oracle .vs. the risks and costs of moving to another platform.

Oracle will probably not catch up on IaaS. Calling Fusion and other applications as SaaS is a joke. Moving from on premise to OCI is where future revenue lies, however with customized installs who the fck will monitor the environments

Why do you think we are attempting to double consumption from EXISTING customers. Where are the net new sales?

Existing customers are being forced to use OCI because of the threat to remove license discounts.

How many companies that aren't already Oracle customers do you think choose OCI?

Hardly anyone is building new stuff on Oracle, it's becoming a legacy product.
