Oracle says AI will save it from the SaaSpocalypse, not bring it on
“Before AI came along, application suites had already proven their effectiveness. “Rather than asking every employee to navigate and execute a process exactly as a system expects, AI agents can perform tasks using the organization's established workflows and business rules. Employees then shift to overseeing agents, resolving exceptions and applying human judgment where it matters most.”Sicilia is not alone in that view.
