Cloud technology has been transformative across all types of businesses, industries, and products. One fascinating result of the rise of cloud computing is that it’s enabling enterprises to adopt emerging technologies—like artificial intelligence (AI), blockchain, digital assistants, cloud native technologies, and the internet of things (IoT)—faster than ever before.

All of these technologies and more will be on display at the upcoming Oracle Cloud Day Leadership Summit—along with plenty of expert advice and discussions about how you can use them to build the future of your organization.

Businesses are no longer experimenting with emerging technologies in a sandbox. Instead, they’re applying them in meaningful ways across their operations that result in new business, new value, and more sophisticated applications than ever before.

In the coming years, cloud providers and the enterprises that they serve will move toward a next-generation cloud model in which they’ll have access to these new technologies, better security, improved price-performance, and deep automation capabilities. Based on research conducted by Oracle and independent IT analyst firms, we predict that by 2025:

• 80 percent of all enterprise workloads will run in the cloud.
• AI and other emerging technologies will double productivity around the world.
• More than 50 percent of data will be managed autonomously.

Taken together, these predictions demonstrate the need for organizations to adopt a comprehensive enterprise cloud strategy and cloud native IT environments. The Oracle Cloud Day Leadership Summit is a great place to start. Join us for an afternoon dedicated to looking ahead with leaders just like you.
