I wonder if it is too late for Oracle to get into the cloud computing bandwagon ?
Oracle suffers from its database centered marketing, which is under threat with Big Data solutions.
Oracle has to play catch up on Big Data now though it still retains its grip on its citadels in the Banking and Financial Services & Insurance (BFSI) sector
Oracle has some of the best business applications in the world either their own or acquired, Oracle has  done a fair job of integrating the various acquisitions into a single platform. But its complacency on not willing  launch them as SAAS services has cost them dearly in getting their rightful place in the cloud computing world.
Even Oracle's foray into the operating system world with acquisition of SUN has been lukewarm, with SUN hardware and operating systems being bundled with Oracle database.
Oracle had the best database, business applications, operating systems, hardware environment and  a hands on leader who is one of the greatest Marketing Gurus in the IT world.
Finally Oracle has been a non-starter on the mobility and social media space, maybe because of the rigidity and culture of database creation which holds it back. It has not built any solutions in this space from its labs or by acquisition . Hence Oracle is weak in dominating  end point devices which play a significant role in Cloud Computing deployment.

Will Oracle give up its past laurels on focus on the cloud which is the "Future of Computing" or will it also start slipping like Microsoft in Cloud Computing?
Look forward to  Oracle's vision for Cloud Computing in the Oracle CloudWorld 2013!

Will love to hear your comments and thoughts on this blog post, thankyou.

Please leave a comment and I would love to hear your thoughts and comments too! 1.        Disinfection Chambers -  You would have to walk into the office through disinfection chambers, entry into the chamber would be post facial and iris recognition for 2 factor biometric contactless authentication.  You could then be tested   for Covid by a nurse through the use of a rapid test kit (Emirates Airline has already deployed the same for airline passengers), there would be a ten minute wait time for the results before you are let into the office. Biomedical Security could be the

Bharat Badal and Rural India

Bharat Badal   and   Rural India         Sometime back   I had shared how rural India can benefit by Bharat Badal , here is a check of how these expectations have panned out. Today the cloud is assisted by cognitive and mobility and nation linked by easy data connectivity which has accelerated the adoption and use of technology in rural India.   What can be done for rural India using the cloud - A status check "The cloud will allow information technology to be infused to the smallest hamlet of India and make access to information available to the poorest of the poor to give them a better life by empowering them with knowledge derived through the net book or mobile phone connected to the cloud. The cloud will make the services such as affordable and accessible at a low cost" This has been achieved for rural India by the   Digital India program of the Government. Bharat will benefit by taking the cloud to rural India because:: "The cloud will dr
