Innovation Briefings

From AI Ambition to Business Impact on OCI

Date: December 7, 2026 | Start Time: 10 AM PT | Duration: 30 mins

Enterprise AI earns its place when it helps people solve meaningful business problems. Success starts with connecting AI to the enterprise’s knowledge and giving people confidence in how it works.

This session explores how to make that happen with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Enterprise AI. Beginning with the business outcome, we will examine how to identify valuable use cases, connect them to everyday work, and define measurable success. The focus is on the decisions that turn an AI idea into a useful enterprise capability.

Relevance comes from context. OCI Enterprise AI supports retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) to ground responses in enterprise knowledge, along with natural language to SQL capabilities for accessing structured data. We will explore how these features can help users ask questions of business information and receive answers informed by their organization’s data. A choice of foundation models through a consistent API also gives teams flexibility to select models suited to their needs.

Making AI real means connecting information to action. OCI Enterprise AI provides agent orchestration and tools for building multistep workflows, with support for open frameworks and protocols such as Model Context Protocol (MCP). These capabilities create opportunities to build assistants that retrieve relevant information and interact with business systems to help complete tasks. The session will connect these features to practical scenarios and discuss where human review belongs.

Enterprise adoption also requires control and operational discipline. We will examine how identity and access management integration, guardrails, auditability, and observability support governed deployment. For workloads requiring reserved GPU capacity, Dedicated AI Clusters offer an additional deployment option. These capabilities will frame a discussion of response quality, performance, cost, and the steps needed to move toward production.

Designed for business and technology leaders, enterprise architects, application owners, and AI practitioners, this presentation connects OCI Enterprise AI capabilities to business priorities. Attendees will leave with a practical framework for selecting a valuable use case, understanding implementation choices, and measuring impact before expanding adoption.

Turn Cloud Complexity into Operational Intelligence with Resource Analytics

Date: November 17, 2026 | Start Time: 10 AM PT | Duration: 60 mins

As OCI environments expand across regions, tenancies, applications, and teams, troubleshooting slows, automation becomes harder, risk increases, and waste becomes harder to see. OCI Resource Analytics provides a near-real-time view of resources, relationships, and configuration metadata across OCI. In this session, learn how teams can use that visibility to support AI operational workflows, assess update impact, and uncover hidden risks.

We'll also be joined by Dmitriy Gak, VP of Engineering at Oracle Health, who will share how his team used Resource Analytics to address networking automation timeouts by gaining faster access to current-state network configuration data.

See how OCI Resource Analytics helps turn cloud inventory into operational intelligence to support faster decisions, safer changes, and more efficient cloud operations.

Hosting Resilient Applications in OCI

Date: October 27, 2026 | Start Time: 10 AM PT | Duration: 60 mins

Human error contributes to more than half of service outages.  Hardware fails everywhere all the time.  Applications not designed for fault tolerance can experience avoidable downtime during planned maintenance and unexpected hardware failures—disrupting sales, productivity, and, in some cases, a company’s reputation.  In this session, we’ll explore how to improve the uptime of your OCI hosted workloads.  You’ll learn architectural patterns, design best practices, and Oracle services that help applications remain available, recover quickly, and minimize operational disruption.

What’s New in APEX on Oracle Database 26ai

Date: December 1, 2026 | Start Time: 10 AM PT | Duration: 60 mins

Explore how Oracle APEX 26.1 brings AI into application development and the user experience, then take a closer look at AI Interactive Reports. In a live demonstration, we will turn natural-language requests into filters, sorting, highlights, charts, pivots, and column changes, then inspect the report settings APEX applies. We will show the developer setup, including the generative AI service, report and column context, and reference values that guide interpretation. We will also place AI Agents, text generation, and Data Reporter in context for teams building on Oracle AI Database 26ai.

FinOps Optimization in OCI

Date: December 15, 2026 | Start Time: 10 AM PT | Duration: 60 mins

Reporting & Analytics is the ability to gain insights into cloud data by creating reporting mechanisms to serve the needs of the organization’s various persona groups. Reporting can detail, highlight, summarize, categorize, and compare cloud data to support ad hoc reporting, showback, investigative reports or routine reporting used by the organization. This is one of the most important and critical of the FinOps capabilities, supporting almost every other Capability. Join us to explore tools and resources for monitoring and assessing Oracle Cloud consumption and managing costs.

Build an AI Interactive Report with APEX

Date: December 8, 2026 | Start Time: 10 AM PT | Duration: 90 mins

Oracle APEX AI Interactive Reports let users analyze data by asking questions in plain language. APEX turns those questions into report filters, sorting, pivots, and other actions, shown as chips that users can review and refine.

In this workshop, you’ll enable AI for a Supply Chain Management report built on SCM_REPLENISHMENT_V, add context to help the AI understand the data, and explore replenishment activity using Search with AI and the chat assistant.
