Editor's Notes

• #8: Internet of Value
• #15: REDUCED DEV. TIME Cloud improves developer productivity through automation of mundane tasks such as application build and deploy tasks, infrastructure provisioning, etc, and reduces overall development time by rapid provisioning of IT infrastructure by allowing developers to get access to infrastructure to API REDUCED IT COST Cloud reduces IT infrastructure costs, cost of managing IT, by providing enterprise-wide cost governance through quotas, chargebacks, master/sub-accounts, and allowing IT to cut wastage of compute capacity through centralized management, and reducing management overhead to manage multiple disparate environments by offering a single pane of glass management across all IT resources (on premise and Cloud). Reduce management overhead, & increase IT resource utilization to reduce TCO. REDUCED RISK Cloud enables agile and more frequent testing, resulting in reduced risk/costs of software defects. Cloud reduces risk/cost of infrastructure downtime through higher redundancy, reduced risk with built-in security and compliance INCREASED COLLBORATION Cloud enables increased collaboration among development teams through greater visibility into and through the use of APIs to work independently on different areas of the application, which comes together in form of a complete app. Greater collaboration between development and operations teams through automation that enables faster release cycles/time to market
• #21: Intelipost (LATAM, reducing fraud and damages) Background: a Brazilian-based Transportation Management SaaS for logistics that allows e-commerce retailers to lower shipping costs, improve control, and achieve better delivery SLAs. Challenge: Need to implement a more robust system for package tracking and transfer of ownership (over 3-4 trucking companies) to reduce high levels of fraud, theft, and damages. Solution: Implementing Oracle Blockchain cloud service in conjunction with the largest retailers to enable full tracking and transfer of ownership of e-commerce packages as well as providing full visibility into logistics chain, which allows for faster customer inquiry response. Results: Insurers: reduced payouts due to fraud and theft. Shippers: Higher customer satisfaction when shipper has full visibility and can respond to customer inquiries.
• #22: Certified Origins is brand management company who commercializes different extra virgin olive oil from fruit grown the family farms. Use Case - Blockchain will be implemented in order to certificate the supply chain of the oil producer, through the phases of production, packaging and shipment Product Provenance Tracking Production quality & ingredients testing visibility Product journey tracking (temperature, etc.) Change of ownership and custody verification Paperless logistics Benefits: Tracking, Transparency, Improved Trust and Cost Savings Seller Benefits: Authorised marketplace Trusted transactions Auditable sales Increased revenue Quality Compliance Benefits: No Illegal trading Only Authorized sellers & buyers Traceable records Visibility and security throughout Supply Chain Buyer Benefits: Traceability of source Fraud free transactions No recalls No bad quality supply Credible reputation ------------------------ First EMEA Blockchain Win, prior to GA $20K ARR Universal Credits, just above minimal deal size (based on EMEA budget estimator) Team: Francesco Palanza (OD Rep), Andrea di Placido (OD SC),Filippo Cutillo (EMEA Cloud Pursuit), SCC Team SCC started with prototype, Go live expected October 1
• #23: Blockchain manages ICOL’s Bank Guarantee Background: Current Bank Guarantee (BG) process is totally paper based, which this is a critical path for Oil & Gas industry across 3 parties: Customer (Multiple entities from Oil & Gas releases tenders) Vendors (Multiple vendos apply for various tenders) Banks (Multiple public-sector Banks can create BG)  Pain: Discrepancies due to errors/frauds are often found after the hard copies are processed, where corrections (invoke, amend or return) takes time and it becomes pressing issues around BG expiries. Solution: Blockchain acts as an immutable record of every transactions which maintained in the Public Ledger of each party using Oracle Blockchain Cloud Service (OBCS). An Oracle JET Dashboard application deployed on Oracle Application Container Cloud Services (ACCS) that provides an unique view of the stakeholders in the process. End-to-end BG process are tracked using Oracle Process Cloud Service (PCS). Digitization of the BG early in the process using Oracle Content and Experience Cloud Service (CECS). Benefits: Reduction of loss from counterfeit BG. Shorter lead time of cycles from Vendor to Client. Introduction of a non-repudiation process with provenance and trackability for fast resolution of any conflicts.

• #25: GE needed to optimize the flow of information across engineering, supply chain, manufacturing, and services to connect machines, intelligence, and people. They selected Oracle ERP Cloud to consolidate 200 ERPs to 40 to automate business processes and to accelerate insight. They also selected Oracle Integration Cloud as the integration platform to automate over 100 ERP integrations in less than 40 weeks. That is half of the development time that as on-premises and at less cost and risk. GE plans to move 70% of the software it runs in house today to the cloud by 2020
