Singapore has dominated cloud development and innovation, securing the top spot in MIT's Global Cloud Ecosystem Index.

🌟 Singapore: The World's Most Competitive Country! 🌟 It's fantastic news that Singapore has been crowned the most competitive country in the world! 🏆 Our top-notch infrastructure, effective government, and exceptional business efficiency are key pillars of our success. However, the high cost of living and inflation remain areas of concern. Many feel that wages have not kept pace with rising expenses, and people are feeling the pressure. 🤔 Is this the opportunity cost of being the world's leader in competitiveness? #Singapore #Competitiveness #Economy #Business #Infrastructure #LivingCosts #Inflation #EconomicGrowth

I’m heading off to CloudWorld Las Vegas with Oracle today. 🌴🍸☀️ In Singapore CloudWorld I interviewed Jae Sook Evans, CIO at Oracle and Christopher G. Chelliah Senior Vice President of Technology and Customer Strategy at Oracle. Here are some items we discussed: 💡 Cloud Cost Management: Customers have struggled with increased cloud costs and network egress fees. Oracle Cloud is tackling this head-on by designing their network differently to avoid excessive charges. 💡 Migration Challenges: While moving new applications to the cloud is straightforward, legacy systems in sectors like banking pose significant challenges. Oracle aims to simplify this transition without extensive rearchitecture. 💡Innovative Edge: Oracle is setting new standards with their security-centric cloud design, multi-cloud solutions, and the unique ability to run services directly in customers' data centers. 💡 Market Perception: Historically known for its databases, Oracle is now changing perceptions with OCI’s capabilities, offering a general-purpose cloud suited for diverse infrastructure-heavy workloads. 💡 Customer Engagement: Chris Chelliah agree that their needs to be a focus on the need to speak the language of new demographics and demonstrate real-world benefits. Their efforts include collaboration with sports tech and engaging with developer communities and educational institutions. 💡 AI and Data Management: The conversation highlighted Oracle's strategic position in AI infrastructure, particularly how Nvidia leverages OCI for its GPU clusters due to OCI’s speed and efficiency. 🤝 Customer-Centric Approach: Jae Evans discussed the importance of meeting customer needs through continuous feedback, focusing on security, reliability, and functionality to maintain loyalty. I'll drop the link in the comments below. See you soon Las Vegas 🇺🇸

In an interview at #BrainstormAI in Singapore, Glean cofounder and CEO Arvind Jain shared that when he founded his previous company, Rubrik, he noticed a decline in productivity as the company grew compared to when it was a smaller organization. "We asked employees what was in the way of getting high productivity, and our surveys showed that people were really struggling to find information at work," he added.
