| Special Report: Business at Scale |
Technology is changing our ideas about business scale. Historically, companies gained cost savings through economies of scale—their size enabled large factories or hospital systems, for example, to offer products or services at lower cost. But thanks to the cloud, the new rule of scale seems to be that there’s no longer a rule of scale. Smaller upstarts are using technology such as autonomous tools and on-demand cloud services to provide customers with what they want more nimbly and inexpensively.
So, how are companies handling this disruption? In the summer issue of Profit, Oracle experts and customers discuss the growth and IT strategies of small-to-medium businesses (SMBs) that are successfully scaling, as well as how large companies are using cloud services to stay ahead of the “ankle biters.” Read on to learn about how companies big and small are choosing the cloud to stay nimble and competitive in our rapidly changing world. |
