“OCI provides incredible performance for our HPC workloads, speeding up computational fluid simulations while also optimizing costs.”

—Mauro Bighi, CIO, PUNCH Torino

Driving to zero emissions

To develop new ideas, such as hydrogen-powered engines, powertrain-maker PUNCH Torino runs computational fluid dynamics modeling using high performance computing (HPC) on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). Moving HPC entirely to OCI lets the company scale up and down depending on workload, reducing costs and improving performance compared with its previous on-premises infrastructure.

Advancing brain treatments

An application called NeuroBase, built using Oracle APEX, provides a single location to help healthcare practitioners track behavioral and cognitive changes in patients suffering from brain trauma or disease. The application, built by Pablo Duque, a neurorehabilitation expert in Spain, replaces disparate systems and printed materials and charts.

Lessons from women

Drawing from their own careers and personal experiences, women leaders from Oracle’s Asia Pacific region share advice, including Japan’s Midori Kawamukai on overcoming asthma and extreme introversion and Korea’s KhyungHee Lee on learning the persistence to succeed in the male-dominated world of field engineering.

Startups for disability

Three companies in the Oracle for Startups program are helping disabled people engage with life: Educational Vision Technologies helps learning-disabled people master online classes, DeepVisionTech helps deaf and hard-of-hearing people who aren’t fully literate communicate online with sign language, and Televindu provides video to engage people in retirement homes.

Securing business improvements

Securitas, which provides physical security services worldwide, swapped its outdated finance and HR systems for cloud applications. As a result, it reduced the time to process monthly turnover reports from three weeks to two minutes, reduced time to hire by 70%, and improved hiring diversity—all while maintaining pre-pandemic hiring levels despite job applications dropping 50%.

FEATURED TECH

Mapping application complexity

Essential applications that run the business are often decades old and have legacy, monolithic code that needs simplification. A graph database can help by visually mapping the old software’s dependencies to help today’s developers clearly understand how the software works.
