At a recent customer conference in London, “Modern Business Experience”, Oracle executives briefed Computer Weekly on how they believe the company’s cloud business is shaping up. They presented a picture of the supplier’s cloud delivery becoming at once more comprehensive, with corporate IT being re-enlisted as a stakeholder alongside lines of business, and more inclusive of small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
