Oct 2, 2012 Christopher White Infosys BrandEdge -- a SalesForce competitor?
Oct 2, 2012 Christopher White Different modules let BrandEdge customers get all sorts of data and do campaigns. Not really a competitor to SalesForce from what I can gather.
Oct 2, 2012 Christopher White CEO of UL - "Working for a safer world"
Oct 2, 2012 Christopher White Never really thought of UL as a company... Just that you see UL stuff on every product known to man lol

Oct 2, 2012 Christopher White "You use Java, Fusion Middleware, and Oracle database."

Oct 2, 2012 Christopher White
Oct 2, 2012 Christopher White Made a number of key acquisitions for social relationship management technology.

Oct 2, 2012 Christopher White "It's a technology platform, not just a suite of applications."
Oct 2, 2012 Christopher White Hundreds (not thousands) of customers, and next year we'll have thousands.
Oct 2, 2012 Christopher White Taleo is an example of one of the cloud offerings Oracle provides.
Oct 2, 2012 Christopher White "On-demand" -- Oracle manages but you own the hardware.

Oct 2, 2012 Christopher White "We're the only cloud provider that gives you a choice."
Oct 2, 2012 Christopher White You like Salesforce, it runs in one place. You can't move it inhouse, you can't make it private behind your firewall, you can't purchase those licenses.
Oct 2, 2012 Christopher White Talking about different customers that use Oracle's cloud.
Oct 2, 2012 Christopher White Ellison: "I'm only planning on showing 380 of the 400 customers using our cloud. I figured all 400 would be too tedious."
Oct 2, 2012 Christopher White All of the applications are built on industry-standard Java using industry-standard middleware and SQL.
Oct 2, 2012 Christopher White Standards are still important. Just because we're in the cloud doesn't mean we can make everything proprietary.
Oct 2, 2012 Christopher White "Just because we're in the cloud doesn't mean we forget everything we've learned over the last 20 years."
Oct 2, 2012 Christopher White "Just because we're in the cloud doesn't mean you don't have to work."

Oct 2, 2012 Christopher White Their social is built into every one of their fusion apps and all are accessible via mobile devices.
Oct 2, 2012 Christopher White Oracle 12c has pluggable databases.

Oct 2, 2012 Christopher White Those two offerings built multi tenancy into the application because there were no VMs back then.
Oct 2, 2012 Christopher White More attaching of Salesforce.com -- Oracle uses their own platform, Salesforce doesn't.
Oct 2, 2012 Christopher White Oracle cloud runs on the engineered systems -- Exadata X3 (26TB memory, runs Java faster, in-memory analytics, InfiniBand networking)
Oct 2, 2012 Christopher White Oracle SRM Platform: It's a platform, not just a marketing tool.
Oct 2, 2012 Christopher White SRM=Social Relationship Management
Oct 2, 2012 Christopher White SRM tool scans social feeds (ie: Twitter) and lets you respond - either via Twitter or even a phone call if you know the customer.
Oct 2, 2012 Christopher White Use LinedIn to recruit people more efficiently.
Oct 2, 2012 Christopher White Even find sales leads.
Oct 2, 2012 Christopher White Collaboration. Each fusion tool has collaboration built in using the social metaphore.

Oct 2, 2012 Christopher White Who is the best olympic athlete to promote Lexus cars?
Oct 2, 2012 Christopher White Big Data: 4.9 BILLION tweets from the Twitter Firehose (API that gives you lots of Tweets )
Oct 2, 2012 Christopher White Analyze both structured and unstructured textual data - in real time, not batch.
Oct 2, 2012 Christopher White Tweet has more info than just 140 chars - we know geography information (if enabled), the time, the date, how many followers the person has, etc, etc.
Oct 2, 2012 Christopher White Big Data Gets bigger: 4.9 Billion tweets, 27 billion relationships, 100 million authors, 2.7 billion mentions, and 890 million hashtags.
Oct 2, 2012 Christopher White Big Data, meet Big Iron.
Oct 2, 2012 Christopher White Exadata, via InfiniBand, to Exalytics
Oct 2, 2012 Christopher White Apple was the most popular mobile device and Android was #2.
Oct 2, 2012 Christopher White Blackberry was almost as big as Android and neither was much smaller than IOS.
Oct 2, 2012 Christopher White Maybe Blackberry isn't quite as dead as expected?
Oct 2, 2012 Christopher White Now bring up top Olympic celebrities by followers.
Oct 2, 2012 Christopher White Lebron James the highest.
Oct 2, 2012 Christopher White But followers isn't the right metric...
Oct 2, 2012 Christopher White James has a lot of followers from NBA - not necessarily related to Olympics. So we want to look at "Reach," during that 14 day Olympic lifecycle.
Oct 2, 2012 Christopher White Reach: Number of tweets, re-tweets, and mentions during the Olympic games.
Oct 2, 2012 Christopher White Labron is still first, but Serena Williams moves from 2nd to 8th. Locthe moved up to 2nd (used to be really low)
Oct 2, 2012 Christopher White Now we can analyze, on a map, how much influence they have geographically.
Oct 2, 2012 Christopher White Lots from UK, Scottland.
Oct 2, 2012 Christopher White Now drill in and look at tweets about cars and see how many of them are ranked to celebrities.
Oct 2, 2012 Christopher White Now Labron is 8th and Phelps is #1 and Gaby Douglass (gymnastics) is making the list!
Oct 2, 2012 Christopher White Used DECA for structured/unstructured analysis, sending between Exadata and Exalogic.
Oct 2, 2012 Christopher White Now we want to do it by brand -- not just cars.
Oct 2, 2012 Christopher White Gaby Douglass is now #1, Phelps is #2.
Oct 2, 2012 Christopher White Now analyze the tweet -- don't want "I hate Lexus" to be treated positive.
Oct 2, 2012 Christopher White Definitely want Gaby Douglass selling my car because she'll make the Lexus look huge since she's not even 5' and Phelps is big. LOL
Oct 2, 2012 Christopher White Anyone else think that Big Data = Big Brother? http://www.neowin.net/news/hp-...s-big-data-mean-big-brother
Oct 2, 2012 Christopher White Anyone else think that Big Data = Big Brother? http://www.neowin.net/news/hp-...s-big-data-mean-big-brother
