Oracle Quarterly Updates Are Not a Technical Exercise
Oracle Cloud is continuously evolving. The organisations that gain the most value are those that govern change, not just apply updates.
One of the greatest advantages of Oracle Cloud is that innovation never stops.
Every quarter, Oracle delivers new capabilities, security enhancements, regulatory updates, performance improvements and product innovations across Oracle Fusion, Oracle Integration Cloud (OIC) and Oracle Enterprise Performance Management (EPM).
Unlike traditional on-premise ERP systems, customers no longer wait years for new functionality.
Innovation arrives every three months.
Yet despite this significant shift, many organisations still approach Oracle quarterly updates as though they were simply another infrastructure patch.
They schedule a maintenance window.
- Apply the update.
- Execute a handful of regression tests.
- Move into Production.
- Then hope everything works.
Unfortunately, Oracle quarterly updates are far more significant than a technical deployment.
They are business change events.
