Emerging technologies are disrupting old paradigms and unleashing new opportunities. Oracle has embedded innovative technologies in every aspect of our cloud, enabling companies to reimagine their businesses, processes, and experiences. And the world's #1 database is now autonomous, allowing enterprises to innovate at the speed of a startup.

At Oracle, we are changing the world by leading a digital transformation! We help our 400,000 customers in more than 145 countries to go beyond developing digital potential to using it to achieve, grow and compete; to think, act and be Business Digital.

Artifcial intelligence, blockchain, the Internet of Things, machine learning, and other emerging technologies permeate every aspect of work and life. These technologies help us reimagine what's possible: self-driving cars, personalized medicine, precision agriculture, and smart cities.

Oracle provides essential elements for companies to pioneer innovations and drive new business models. For example, applications based on artifcial intelligence (AI) can suggest the next best actions, automate answers, and provide personalized service. Oracle embeds machine learning into several management and security offerings to help monitor, troubleshoot, and predict potential outages and security breaches. We enable automated but personalized interactions across our applications via digital assistants-and we've integrated AI into analytics to help discover hidden patterns.

Oracle helps customers develop roadmaps, migrate to the cloud, and take advantage of emerging technologies from any point: new cloud deployments, on-premises environments, and hybrid implementations.
