| | December 20206CIOReviewBusiness leaders are today reevaluating how their products, services, and the decisions they make--around managing data, building a partner ecosystem,and training employees, among others--build trust. CIOs are emphasizing "ethical tech" and creating tools to help people recognize ethical dilemmas associated with utilizing disruptive technologies. Leaders who embedvalues and tech ethics across their organization are demonstrating a commitment to "doing good" that can build a long-term foundation of trust with stakeholders. Outsourcing of technologies and services continues to be on the rise as part of the CIO's strategic roadmap. When defining their strategies for ethical use of technology, companies that use outsourced services should consider the vendor's ownapproach to "ethical tech." It is important that vendors within a company's partner ecosystem be transparent with their owncode of ethics and conduct, given that the vendor's employees are responsible for safeguarding the company's information.Further, today, in many cases, Oracle Cloud transformations are co-sponsored by the CFO and the CIO to enable tight alignment across Funding, Value realization, and Digital-ecosystem partnering. By aligning on these agile tenets, CFOs and CIOs can jointlyestablish a flexible, collaborative transformational agenda that continually balances the funding between digital innovation and ongoing operations. Oracle has a robust set of applications and supporting frameworks across its offerings that can help organizations to bridge the gap between the physical and virtual worldsand embrace the digital twin trend. By leveraging OracleEdge services and IOT applications, organizations canenable the complete physical-to-digital-to-physical loop.Further, Oracle has embraced the concept of human experience and is injecting emotional intelligence into its enterprise applications and AI-enabled platforms. For instance, digital assistants,which are embedded into Oracle enterprise applications oravailable for separate deployment, use conversational AIto provide personalized interactions. In addition, Oracle's rich data science platforms can analyse human interactions in subtle ways that allow people and machines not only to co-exist but also to interact with each other more naturally. Next on the horizon for the Oracle ecosystem is to integratenascent macro forces to generate business value--potentially bycreating a "digital wrapper" that sits on top of Oracle products.What might the business value generated by melding Oracle products with the nascent macro forces look like? Ambient experience could enable users to consume enterprise data and interact with enterprise applications in natural ways, such asspeaking, gesturing, and thinking.Let us know your thoughts.EditorialThe Next Horizon of OracleCopyright © 2020 ValleyMedia, Inc.
