UX is the most important aspect of business these days. It is what drives the customer experience. For Cloud offering, there is a huge focus on UX in oracle. It is hard to foresee a cut in UX.

Oracle's gotta cut somewhere. It's easy to argue that UI design is unnecessary. It's considered a luxury at small companies where the development team does that work as part of everything else.

I believe it. Since they merged the two UX groups and said they would focus only on one UI - not the two that currently existed - I figured it wouldn't take too long before people would be leaving.

@XdcRgGx-ikw, UX is user experience design is the process of creating user satisfaction with a product by improving the usability, accessibility, and pleasure provided in the interaction with the product. Or essentially working with the UI (User Interface). One of my buds (who no longer works there, of course) was working with UX.

Does Oracle have UX designers?!! That has to be the funniest Oracle joke I've heard in a long time.

How many people does it take to design big crank handles and forms interfaces?
