Oracle Cloud ownership - don't miss this opportunity to influence Oracle

With one week to go until Oracle OpenWorld 2016 I've been organising my diary for 4 busy days in San Francisco. During OOW there are so many opportunities for meetings with Oracle customers, partners, other user group leaders and Oracle themselves that it can sometimes be a struggle to fit in many speaker sessions but this year I'm determined to try to see as many speakers as possible. I particularly value hearing customer stories so these are the sessions that I’ll focus on attending.

For anyone who can’t make it to San Francisco, I’ll be blogging from the event again this year so follow me here for news as it happens.

This year I’m particularly excited to have been invited to join Oracle executives in an exclusive roundtable to share the successes and challenges faced by our UKOUG members around their Cloud ownership experience. 

This open forum is an opportunity to candidly share feedback around the enablers and barriers impacting Cloud adoption and expansion, the key milestones used in accelerating value realisation, and other factors impacting successful transformations to the Cloud.  Only 15 participants have been invited to this roundtable from across the global Oracle user community so it is a great opportunity to feedback and influence Oracle’s Cloud strategy.

I’ve spoken to many UKOUG members since joining the UKOUG Board last year but I haven’t, yet, got around to meeting all our members and I want to make sure that all of your views are heard by Oracle. If you have any feedback on your Oracle Cloud experience, good or bad, whether you are just starting to think about a move to the Cloud, whether you’re mid transition or have been using Oracle Cloud for a while, I would love to hear from you. 

This is a unique opportunity to influence Oracle and as a significant Oracle Community we need to make the most of it. Please get in touch with me via this Blog, LinkedIn, Twitter (@LindaCBarker) or email me at linda@ukoug.org. I’d be happy to talk to any members or prospective members of UKOUG to hear your views and, with your permission, I’ll share them with Oracle, anonymously if you prefer. 

I will need to have received your feedback by Sunday 18^th September.

This is your opportunity to influence Oracle – don’t miss it.
