Oracle CX Virtual Summit
- 17 November 2020
Posted by Larry Ellison, Oracle Chairman and Chief Technology Officer (CTO).
You can live and work remotely right by the ocean, now our employees have much more time, they are becoming much more efficient and now they will not commute to and from work, I mean, the amount of time wasted in a big city like Los Angeles. You are not working, you are sitting in your car - this is terribly inefficient, and you are not very happy either. You can be in Russia or along highway 405 south to Los Angeles.

Everything is changing, and we are seeing this significant change. As you know, I mean that desire is a terrible thing, but it has an interesting side effect, I think about desire - it has changed our way of working to the point that we will not only work differently, we will disperse and work from different places and we are preparing for this at Oracle Corporation right now. Oracle provides tools for our employees where they can work and live where they want, and they work when they want to work, so it sounds good that they realize it.
And by the way, you can buy a much nicer home in Nashville, Tennessee for the same amount you buy an apartment in New York for. Well, if you love New York, stay in New York, if you want to buy a big house near Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee, do it. We give our employees the choice of where they want to live, how they want to work, and when they want to work with these modern digital tools.
I will return to the consultation, it is obvious that the places where the consultants used to visit on the clients' sites are now simply not needed, so our consultants from Nashville will help clients in New York, and consultants in Delhi, with the same capabilities, will be able to advise clients in New York, this is a globalized geography, the world is getting closer and less in line with the quality of life of our employees. And we gave them more options to choose where they can work and how they will revolutionize their work. We delivered our products and services, now we provide all of this through the Cloud.
There is no need to work in one room, our legacy is that we deliver our products digitally through the Cloud, we offer our consulting services through the Cloud.
