Senior Software developer at QV Systems
Rapid application development empowers big projects in months
The ability to quickly develop applications without needing to code a lot is very valuable. It is very quick to create a page, and one can use AI to speed up software development. It is easy to learn. In my company, we could develop a very big application in a couple of months.

Integrates components to make decision making easier. Provides defense-in-depth security.
The next steps for Oracle to take would be blueprints or some ideas about if you want to do X, then use Y. I think that would be helpful especially as the environment is changing so fast. It's not just about integrating PaaS components with each other. It's not just about integrating Oracle's apps with Oracle's development tools, but it is about all integration. Oracle are talking about integration points, and we need to know how they can use SAP, or how they can use other vendors as well. Actually, whilst it might not be their plan, there are some people who've got Oracle investments and who want to integrate those with other vendors' platforms. We need integration points. We should be as much open source as possible, and perhaps we should be open APIs. Perhaps that's the answer.
