Objectives of the presentation
• Leave with a better understanding of the realistic options and what other organisations are doing
• The views expressed in this presentation are my own personal views and do not reflect the views of Oracle or any other vendor. And I don’t know everything about everything!
• Safe Harbour ... Anything you see from potential future releases is not a commitment from Oracle (and therefore not many screenshots!)
