Today and tomorrow, I am at the Oracle Openworld 2020 in London. It is a conference series that stops at various cities around the globe. Here, I want to share my main insights in posts over the next few days. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This first post relates to moving to the cloud.  Think about two Oracle solutions: Oracle Human Capital Management and the Oracle Cloud Database Service. Both run in the cloud. However, their value propositions and the implications for companies moving to the cloud differ completely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you move\nyour IT and your application landscape \u2013 including for example Oracle database\n– to the cloud, you get effortless reliability, scalability, security etc. Cloud\nvendors such as Oracle, Microsoft or Google ensure that their services are up\nand running and security threats are patched automatically. You do not have to\npatch databases or deploy updates or reinstall them on new hardware. All lower\nlevel admin disappeared. Your staff can focus on consulting their colleagues in\nhow to benefit more from the technology or to work on other projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The value\nproposition is different if you move from an on-prem software application to a\ncloud version such as Oracle Human Capital Management. You subscribe to a\nsoftware solution. Certainly, many pure IT tasks such as admin work is gone afterwards.\nHowever, many panelists and speakers such as XXX emphasized that it is important\nto keep the implementation \/ configuration \/ business transformation team within\nyour organization even after the \u201cgo live\u201d. At this point in time, technology\nissues are solved, and the organization is ready to perform their processes on\nthe newt platform. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a second\nphase, you have the chance to take real advantage of the new model: cloud software\noffers many features. There are more and more new features coming frequently (in\ncase of Oracle, every 90 days). Making use of them requires transforming and\nadapting your business process. This is an ongoing task. Thus, when moving to a\ncloud application, you still need knowledge of the interface between technology\nand business. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To conclude:\nThus, be sure that you know what kind of cloud project you are in \u2013 moving to\ncloud infrastructure or to a cloud application \u2013 and to be sure to have the\nright team in place even after the go live!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By the way, tomorrow, I will share my thoughts on (over-)customization and new business models as a result of software as a service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
