Big Data and Business Analytics: The Engine of Digital Transformation
Today’s hyper-competitive digital marketplace is no longer restricted to within a single industry or business segment. New nimble competitors with a total focus on digital can disrupt and unseat once great companies. Discovering and predicting insights about people, places and things allows companies to compete in new and innovative ways. It is one thing to find insight; but to be competitive you must also act on insight fast. Your ability to learn, grow and evolve your existing skills, processes and tools becomes essential to staying ahead. As you expand your pool of data used to gain insight with new and diverse sources – many from outside the organization - there comes an ever increasing responsibility to govern and secure all data, and analytic applications that access it.

Mobility
Sessions:
Re-Think Mobile . . . Beyond Mobile-First
Martin Jarvis, Senior Director, Fusion Middleware Market Development
Digital transformations are everywhere and mobile is the core component. Mobile transformations are everywhere, across all industries in companies of all sizes. Mobile has been around for over a decade now, so what have we learned? We know that access to relevant information, anywhere and anytime is expected yet connecting to back-end systems and securing the corporate data is both complex and a necessity. Unlike all other technology trends in the past, with mobile, accelerated agility trumps perfection. Until now enterprises have approached mobile tactically but that needs to change. Thus should we continue to look at mobile as another tactical investment? Or is it time we re-think enterprise mobility and think beyond having a Mobile-First strategy? Learn how you can go beyond having a Mobile-first strategy and rethink you enterprise mobile strategy.
Delivering Mobile Apps on a Future Proof Architecture
The rapid changes in the mobile arena continue at an accelerated pace. Multiple platforms, devices, operating systems, and mobile frameworks – it’s not slowing down. A successful mobile strategy is one that combines the ability to meet today’s needs with the ability to adapt to future changes. This session will cover the current mobile status quo, discuss common needs, challenges and architectures, and explore the latest trends in mobile development and how Oracle can help simplify mobile application development for today’s enterprise and into the future.
Make the Complex Simple - Integrate Mobile to Cloud & Enterprise Systems
How do I mobilize existing enterprise apps? How do I add mobile as a new channel and not reinvent the wheel? How do I mobile enable across on-premise and cloud applications? This session addresses all these questions and more with Oracle Service Bus as a means for mobile integration to revolutionize your existing and new enterprise applications and deliver on business value. Come learn about Oracle’s Mobile Cloud Service, an enterprise grade Mobile Backend as a Service (MBaaS) that reduces the complexities of mobile application development by providing a standard approach to mobile backend to deal with the complex server side programming.
Securing Corporate Data & Applications on Personal Devices
Today, 89% of employees use personal devices for work (BYOD) and 50% of those do so without the consent of their employer. BYOD has re-defined the requirements for mobile security. As a result Oracle has launched a new Mobile Security Suite. In this session, we will discuss how Oracle’s Application Management and Identity Management approach to mobile security can secure corporate data while preserving employee privacy.
The Mobile Surge: Are You (and Your Infrastructure) Ready?
Mobility continues to present new opportunities for business expansion and increased customer interaction.
