Catz, who shared the position of CEO at Oracle with Mark Hurd, focused a significant part of her address on the future of the cloud technology. "Moving to the cloud is the single largest opportunity we have to face it in our careers," she said.
She said that by moving to cloud, customers would have the opportunity to acquire what they need quickly, pay for what they use, scale up quickly in case of peak demand, turn capex into opex and change their mind and do different things at the same time. "Move in the Y2K brought them here (customers) and this (cloud) should carry them into the future," she said.
