At Oracle CloudWorld 2024 this week, companies ranging from banks to candy makers cautiously shared their experiences with Oracle technology in sessions moderated by company executives and professional services firms. Outside of the sessions, the companies were more candid. Migrating to the cloud isn't a linear process, so the companies were in various stages of abandoning on-premises software. Many did not expect to move everything to the cloud, and some planned to hold on to software and cloud services from other vendors. What they did have in common was an expectation of reaping the benefits of Oracle AI someday while freeing themselves of managing painful on-premises software upgrades. They didn't expect to pay less, but they looked forward to giving up the maintenance chores.
