A new survey this week found over half of Oracle customers are actively reducing or planning to reduce their Oracle spend, driven by licensing costs and aggressive audits. This is the conversation CFOs want to have right now. What interests me: most companies I talk to treat their Oracle license position as something to sort out during an audit, not as a line item they can proactively reduce. Data Intensity clients have saved over $2B in Oracle license costs, about 20% on average, by doing that work up front. Right cloud. Right licensing. Right services. If you are heading into a renewal or just tired of the audit cycle, when is the last time someone gave you a real number on what your licenses should cost? https://lnkd.in/gpSWCxnb #Oracle #ITCostOptimization #CIO

– Walking the Line Between Cost and Risk – When organizations look to move to third-party Oracle support, the conversation usually starts with cost savings. Unfortunately, the conversation often ends there too. Vendor patch access, security updates, and future flexibility are all part of the equation. So before making a support decision, it's worth asking: • What's our long-term roadmap? • How will we handle security and regulatory updates? • What happens when we need to upgrade in the future? • Are short-term savings creating long-term limitations? Yes, cost matters, but so do flexibility, innovation, and risk. Our Support Optimization experts can help you find the perfect balance. Learn more: https://ow.ly/Lf4j30sZ9pu

We were going to create an insightful social post today. But someone brought cake. And someone else popped champagne… and now we're all busy celebrating Data Intensity’s 25 years. So instead of an insightful post, here are a few ways technology has changed since we’ve been around. Join us as we walk down memory lane: 1. We remember dial-up internet. 1. We remember Windows XP. 1. We remember Oracle 9i. 1. We remember when "the cloud" was a fluffy object in the sky. 1. We remember rebooting servers as a troubleshooting strategy. 1. We remember BlackBerry thumbs and PalmPilots. 1. We remember big rolls of broadband cabling. 1. We remember inserting discs and CDs to install software. 1. We remember when 1 GB sounded massive. 1. We remember when every company maintained a server room. 1. We remember the Motorola Razr. (Hello, Moto!) 1. We remember when Netflix content was delivered in the mail via slim red envelopes. 1. We remember when the disaster recovery solution was a ZIP drive and a prayer. 1. We remember when data centers were measured in racks instead of regions. 1. We remember when virtualization was the new thing. 1. We remember the birth of smartphones. 1. We remember the rise of Software as a Service. 1. We remember cloud skeptics. 1. We remember when every application upgrade felt like a major life event. 1. We remember cybersecurity becoming everyone's responsibility. 1. We remember analytics becoming real-time. 1. We remember automation becoming essential. 1. We remember OCI's birth and evolution. 1. We remember when AI was science fiction. 1. We remember when AI became a business strategy.
