Oracle Gives HR Tool To Track Your Fitness

Oracle has appointed a new tool for human resources departments announced employee wellness and seems to be suggesting that you would be willing to follow their leader how exercise.The tools,a new module for the software and the promises of the company Human Capital Management for the chance that you can keep track of your physical activity,goal setting,and tell you if you upgrade or hitting milestones.


Nothing to worry about there a number of devices and services they do for you. But things interesting when you consider that Oracle says The application advice to employees on behaviors that can increase the life of well-being as well as their links between welfare and work.In other words,human resources it can apply to fire,pies and three beer lunches.Things get even more interesting as Oracle suggests "professional benefits can promote the games and contests for adoption and to increase participation in wellness programs,allowing employees to create benefit providers and joint venture participants provide and take responsibility for personal wellness.

If the "benefits" under consideration are employer-provided gym memberships and the intention is to help benefits professionals to assess if they're a good investment,fair enough.And there are worse ways to generate esprit de corps than internal competitions.

If the benefits are health insurance, and the application can collect data an organisation could use to drive down health insurance premiums and perhaps mean lazy lardies find themselves rated insufficiently committed to wellness during performance reviews then this is very scary stuff indeed.

Oracle says it's currently doing usability testing for the application. Let's hope they choose a workplace with a well-organised workforce for those tests: this one has a high “what could possibly go wrong with that” quotient that may well justify a bit of push-back.

Oracle Database Certifications Are Permanent No More



Oracle is requiring database administrators to upgrade their certifications if the ones they hold are for older versions of its platform.Earning an Oracle certification is a well-respected achievement, the company said on its website. However, as products age and are removed from Oracle standard support maintenance,the technology becomes less relevant, devaluing the associated credential(s).

Data integration is often underestimated and poorly implemented,taking time and resources.Yet it. While that may seem like a reasonable enough conclusions, one question in a FAQ page on the site notes that Oracle has stated that certification is permanent and the policy change seems to go against that.

The change helps maintain the integrity of our certification program and the value of your certification, the site states.The policy reflects certifications for Oracle database versions ranging from 7.3,which dates to the mid-1990s,up to 10g,which was released in 2003.


Certified DBAs in many versions must certify in a new version of the database, either in November 2015 or March 2016 if they want to maintain their credentials in an active state.Oracle recommends that database administrators to update their certification to 11g or later, the site states.

Oracle provides economic benefits re-certifications, given the fees charged to take the tests.However one long-time Oracle DBA, who asked to remain anonymous,praised the decision to Oracle.

It was never a good idea that certifications were permanent, aid the DBA via email.Changes in the characteristics and architecture,for example multi-tenant 12c,must be held null and void previous certifications. Are you going to ruffle some feathers? Yes,probably.Keep it? No.In my opinion certifications be performed with a single release and nothing more.There may be more news to come on this front.The decision on whether to require all certificates to be re certified product is currently being discussed,according to the Oracle FAQ.

You return to the inner city of San Francisco during the week, opened recently-minted CTO Oracle Larry Ellison, Oracle’s annual Open World Expo on Sunday. How many analysts expect until this weekend,Oracle cloud puts your business in the first outbreak. 


 Ellison began by describing 2014 as a turning point for Oracle in particular its business in the cloud. He admitted that he and the rest of the Oracle dawned a few years ago that the giant hardware would have to provide the three layers of cloud services. 

We had no choice. We had to SaaS, PaaS and Infrastructure-as-a-Service because of a promise we made 30 years ago to bring together our customers, it was Ellison. In the SaaS layer, Ellison said Oracle has the largest portfolio of industry self-developed this year or in the acquisition of many of which either brought. He boasted that Oracle is the only support high-level competitors who are fighting to various service applications.

Ellison said that Oracle touts the difference is that their cloud services and marketing campaigns and sales support engineers to go out and find new ways of reference databases and all the tools that will have your sales representative. 

In this sense, previously released Oracle Field Services, of 113 products with 14 new SaaS applications in the cloud service together. Another new area for Oracle cloud touches on social campaigns and listening through your-as-a-Service recently data layer, consisting of 49 SaaS and DaaS products at the moment of which 36 are new this year. 
                                                                                     
Ellison went to list dozens and dozens of new cloud applications, which were launched last year, adding that the company has added more than 2,000 new customers in the last year also sold in a short time SaaS HCM core more than any other. We are successful for the first time in competition with the dominant, said.But large changes Ellison unveiled at OpenWorld on Sunday, where they come-Oracle is best known the database level.

Ellison described the development of this release to be the fourth generation of computers, multi-tenant cloud database services. In short framed, Oracle promises to update the Oracle cloud platform that customers can move databases and cloud applications without Oracle single dull click of a button and do not have to change a single line of code. 

Not only does it move, but modernized, and that's a big deal, Ellison said. You can use any application in our database Infrastructure-as-a-move service. the upgrade Oracle Database Platform-as-a-Service, Java-based WebLogic provides functionality identical to the Oracle database on the premises, means customers get their own OS to calculate and VM instances with the capacity and-demand.Automation,is a big plus also. PaaS database includes automated backup, recovery, patching, monitoring and more.

Promising more details during his second start on Tuesday, Ellison renowned customers also have the opportunity to make a difference, back or anywhere else. Lamenting backup devices are not designed for databases Ellison led recovery without data loss Appliance. Acknowledging the awkward name and even screaming I called them before these two guys have been promoted in relation to the new co-CEOs Safra Catz and Mark Hurd, Ellison described briefly, that the name of this automated system explanatory. 


More updates in store for the portfolio including Oracle Exadata platform improvements in memory, including performance enhancements for query acceleration engines at the silicon level for Oracle Database 12c.Putting all this in silicon, Ellison said what these processes 10 times faster. Answering preventive why Oracle is doing these things, back now and not in 2012 when it first unveiled its cloud platform, Ellison shrugged shoulders is hard to do.
