One of the standout themes at CloudWorld 2024 was Oracle’s commitment to advancing artificial intelligence (AI) across its suite of cloud applications. New AI agents integrated into Oracle Fusion Applications are set to boost productivity by automating and enhancing core processes. These AI-powered agents cover multiple functions, from the shift scheduling assistant in HCM that helps optimize workforce scheduling to the maintenance troubleshooting advisor in supply chain management, which accelerates repairs by providing real-time, data-driven insights. These innovations are designed to help businesses operate more efficiently by reducing manual processes.

In addition to these AI developments, Oracle’s Fusion Cloud Applications now include features to automate contract approvals, monitor financial anomalies, and provide personalized recommendations for sales teams. This push toward AI-driven automation is aimed at helping organizations stay agile in an increasingly competitive landscape.

CloudWorld 2024 also highlighted Oracle’s continued expansion in multi-cloud capabilities. A major announcement was the general availability of Oracle Database@Azure and Oracle Database@Google Cloud. These partnerships with Microsoft and Google are designed to simplify cloud migrations, enabling enterprises to deploy Oracle databases on their preferred cloud platforms while maintaining the flexibility and performance they expect. With integrations across cloud ecosystems, Oracle’s multi-cloud approach allows customers to combine the best of Oracle databases with the AI and data services available from Google Cloud and Azure​.

This multi-cloud expansion provides enhanced flexibility for organizations that need to meet regulatory requirements or optimize their cloud architecture. For example, Oracle Interconnect for Google Cloud offers private, high-speed connectivity to support use cases like data integration and real-time analytics, helping customers achieve new levels of efficiency across clouds​.

Data protection was another area Oracle enhanced at CloudWorld 2024. The introduction of Oracle Database Zero Data Loss Autonomous Recovery Service provides businesses with a fully managed solution to recover critical data within seconds, minimizing downtime in the event of an outage or cyberattack. This service is particularly appealing for companies managing sensitive operations, as it offers multiple recovery options across regions, including Azure and OCI​.

Oracle CloudWorld 2024 presented a future where AI and multi-cloud capabilities redefine the way businesses operate. With the announcement of cutting-edge AI agents in Oracle Fusion Applications, expanded partnerships with Microsoft and Google, and new tools like the Zero Data Loss Recovery Service, Oracle is positioning itself as a leader in cloud innovation. These developments offer enterprises the ability to scale, secure, and optimize their operations, setting a new standard for cloud computing in the years to come.
