This talk will show you how to build a Knowledge Base, Leverage an LLM, and use Retrieval Augmented Generation using the Oracle Cloud tools recently coming available. You can use this for different documents that you would like to access (but, not share with the world). The Agent will access your data using leveraging vector embeddings & RAG. I'll show how to access your private documents using RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) and the Llama LLM (on OCI - Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. This talk will also show how Oracle's security, converged database, autonomous database, database speed, and Oracle vector DB are all keys to Oracle as the best database for AI.

This presentation will benefit IT leaders, project managers, procurement specialists, and technical decision-makers involved in enterprise systems, infrastructure migrations, or managed services engagements. Attendees will gain insight into contract negotiation strategies, including how to weigh the advantages of large consulting firms versus specialized providers, and how to balance speed with quality when executing projects—recognizing that faster timelines may not always equate to lower costs. The session will also help participants evaluate total cost of ownership (TCO) considerations, particularly in managed services arrangements, and address common on-premises challenges such as defining scope, overcoming documentation gaps, fostering trust with consulting teams, and establishing effective team structures. Participants will also learn how to navigate the complexities of migrating to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), including mapping existing infrastructure for accurate budgeting, identifying and managing integrations in decentralized environments, and overcoming testing limitations such as load testing constraints or the absence of vendor test environments. Finally, the session will explore the operational side of transitioning to managed services in OCI, focusing on the development of new standard operating procedures (SOPs) and the cultural and procedural adjustments required for sustained success. By the end of the presentation, attendees will leave with a clear framework for selecting the right partners, structuring contracts, anticipating migration hurdles, and ensuring a smooth operational handover.

Focus: A practical decision framework for matching the right automation or intelligence technology to a business use case. Why it fits: Helps organizations avoid over-engineering and choose the most cost-effective approach. With so many emerging technologies in automation and intelligence, choosing the right solution for a business problem can be challenging. This session offers a practical decision framework to help organizations evaluate when to use RPA, traditional AI, Generative AI, or Agentic AI — based on complexity, cost, and expected business value. We’ll explore how to start from a clearly defined problem statement, align initiatives with ROI and measurable outcomes, and then progress toward solution design, system architecture, and security considerations. The discussion will also highlight how to engage vendors or internal teams effectively to accelerate implementation while maintaining governance and value alignment. Learning Objectives: By the end of this session, attendees will learn how to: 1. Identify and document the right business problem statement for AI-driven initiatives. 2. Differentiate between RPA, AI, GenAI, and Agentic AI based on complexity and business impact. 3. Develop a value-driven framework for technology selection tied to ROI and operational efficiency.

Getting started on a DevSecOps journey in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) can feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be. This introductory session will guide you through the first steps of building a DevSecOps practice, from Infrastructure as Code (IaC) to OCI’s DevOps and security services. You’ll learn how OCI services for infrastructure, security, and automation can be integrated into your delivery process, helping you embed best practices without slowing down innovation. This presentation is a great start for those exposed to OCI, but not DevSecOps.

This presentation, "Oracle Fusion Data Intelligence – Deep Dive and Security," will provide an in-depth exploration of Oracle’s Fusion Data Intelligence (FDI) platform, focusing on its architecture, core components, and integration capabilities across Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse (ADW), Oracle Analytics Cloud (OAC), and various data integration tools such as OIC, ODI, and Informatica. Attendees will gain a comprehensive understanding of how FDI connects seamlessly with Oracle Fusion applications—including ERP, HCM, CX, SCM and other third party data sources —to deliver rich visualization and actionable insights. A key focus of the session will be on security best practices within FDI, including how to implement custom, role-based data access controls that align with organizational security policies. Specific use cases—such as cost center-level data security—will be discussed to illustrate practical implementation. This presentation will benefit Business Users, Analysts, Data Architects, system integrators, and IT security professionals seeking to maximize the value of Oracle Fusion analytics while ensuring robust data governance and compliance. Attendees will leave with a good understanding of the FDI system and actionable knowledge on configuring secure, scalable analytics solutions.
