Forward to a Friend For you this week: We offer a best-of from Oracle’s chairman and CTO at Oracle OpenWorld and learn what 12 new data centers (with many more on the way) mean to customers around the globe.

People who insist that technology will eliminate everyone’s job are missing the point. “Fundamentally, the world we live in is changing,” he said. “Life is going to be safer. Data is going to be safer. We’re going to do less tedious work and more interesting work, because a lot of the routine tasks are going to be automated away.” Four more highlights. The Cloud: High Security and Maximum Flexibility  At OpenWorld, Clay Magouyrk, senior vice president of software development for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, highlighted Oracle’s 12 new data center regions offering its Gen 2 Cloud Infrastructure during the past year—and the company’s plan to expand to 36 regions by the end of 2020. The goal: give customers around the world what they’ve been asking for most. Two big benefits of the expanded network. Vodafone Fiji: Nimble in the Face of Fast Growth For Vodafone Fiji to maintain market dominance, it has to keep the deals coming.
