Today, we talk about a 47-year-old company whose income was up 21% last year. Yes, the company is Oracle.

Kim Lynch is a well-known technology executive, and she highlights how Oracle can solve complex federal tech concerns. She begins by giving a brief overview of the recent Oracle Cloud World announcements.

Kim Lynch takes all these announcements from Oracle Cloud World and applies them to specific federal problems.

If you are interested in leveraging the hybrid cloud and improving security, this is the interview for you.

Larry Ellison’s comments will surprise (shock) people who work with the federal government. First, was the embrace of other cloud service providers like Amazon Web Services and Google Cloud Platform. Who can believe that Larry Ellison is inviting leaders from AWS and GCP to the stage at an Oracle event?

The concept is we live in a hybrid world; Oracle is embracing this “multiverse” to help federal leaders leverage the cloud platform in its entirety.

Secondly, Kim Lynch reflects on the idea that Oracle employees will not have passports next year. After years of cybersecurity lifting signs of “Kill the password,” Oracle may be the leader.

If you have been in the world of technology, you know that we are all flooded with data. During the interview, Kim Lynch uses the term “petabyte” comfortably. Scaling to Zettabytes will make all data experts cringe, but it is a term used casually.

Wow. This is not your father’s Oracle, even if it is 47 years old.
