Oracle’s strategy is firmly established from its earnings notice, with a clear commitment to continuing as a leader in the infrastructure space. The key upcoming changes include:
- Expanding headcount in data centers and OCI (Oracle Cloud Infrastructure)
- Doubling down on OCI initiatives
- Phasing out legacy applications
- Transforming select legacy apps into more modern solutions
To remain relevant, you will need to align yourself with one of these focus areas. Please be aware that there will be significant reductions in management and leadership roles in the near future. These cuts are expected to occur continuously over the next two years. Now would be a good time to start updating your resume. People who were laid off recently will struggle for a while but eventually settle in. So plan ahead.
