AI is advancing at warp speed…are you ready?

As seen at BLUEPRINT 4D: Explore Oracle’s cutting-edge AI strategy as Gil Traverse unveils how embedded AI agents and no-code tools are transforming enterprise applications for faster, smarter business operations.

Surprise—ERP data is key to customer experience

With Oracle Unity, organizations can turn data from ERP and other back-office systems into trusted, AI-enabled customer profiles. These profiles help maximize enterprisewide customer intelligence that improves every customer engagement, a significant long-term payoff.

Two ways you can adopt AI agents in Fusion Apps

AI agents are already part of Fusion Apps, bringing new levels of efficiency and automation. But Oracle is adding even more capable agents to enable complex workflows while giving you the tools to configure or create agents of your own with a Fusion-native development platform.

Celebrating Our First Emerging Leaders Cohort—And Welcoming What’s Next

Join us in congratulating the graduates of Quest’s inaugural Emerging Leaders Program! Recognized during their final presentation at BLUEPRINT 4D, this talented group spent the past several months growing their leadership skills, strengthening their networks, and preparing to take on bigger challenges within their organizations and the Oracle community.

As we look ahead to our next cohort launching this fall, there’s still time to apply—but not much! With only a few seats left and the application window closing July 30, now’s the moment to act.

Worried about adding one more thing to your already full plate? You’re not alone. Many of our most successful participants joined while managing high-stakes projects or major transformations. And that’s exactly when the program made the biggest impact. This isn’t just another task—it’s the right support at the right time. From targeted learning on change leadership and transformation strategy to a built-in network of peers and mentors, the Emerging Leaders Program helps you lead through change, not around it.

If you’re preparing for what’s next in your career, this is the investment that pays off now!


Congratulations and Yakoke (Thank You)!
