Managing up sounds like a political game until you realize it is mostly a thinking game. We talk about the moment leaders get promoted and suddenly discover that running a productive team is not enough. Influence now requires calm brain control, strong questions, and the courage to bring a well-reasoned point of view to peers and bosses without turning it into a fight.We dig into the difference between panic mode and logic mode at work: nodding along while you disagree, quietly refusing to follow through, or reacting defensively when a leader pushes a direction you do not like. Instead, we walk through how we prepare for a tough conversation by getting clear on what success looks like, exploring options, weighing upside and downside, and then inviting dialogue with “What do you think?” That shift turns “managing up” into real stakeholder management and executive communication.We also challenge a popular leadership story: “I'm going to take care of my people no matter what.” We unpack why caring for your team starts with delivering the right results for the organization and growing people for the future, not shielding them from every hard ask today. Along the way, we talk about expanding your view beyond your vertical, using curiosity to learn how the business works, and why the behavior some call “brown nosing” is often just relationship-building before you need it.If you want to lead beyond your job title and influence decisions without ego or drama, press play. Subscribe, share this with a new manager, and leave a review telling us: what is the hardest part of managing up for you?

Send us Fan MailThere is perhaps no greater confluence of old and new school ideologies than the current ransomware threat landscape plaguing the industrial sector. On one hand – the motivations and avenues of attack have changed very little. Hackers are still leveraging weak log-in security or lagging parameter defenses to steal data and launch malware as they extort the enterprise.However, that malware is now being released by highly specialized hacking groups that can launch and scale their attacks more quickly with AI tools, and with malware either sourced from another specialized provider, or optimized by, again, AI tools. The overall result has been another surge in ransomware attacks against the hacking community's favorite target – manufacturing. Here to offer some insight on these and other trends related to ransomware in the industrial sector is Sean Nikkel. He serves as the Team Lead for Bitdefender's Cyber Intelligence Fusion Cell. Listen as we discuss: • The spike in living-off-the-land ransomware attacks, and how old-school detection strategies may be fueling this surge.• How a combination of ransomware group specialization and AI are helping bad actors scale their attacks in unprecedented ways.• The need to prioritize vulnerabilities in new ways.• How fewer ransomware payments could only be a temporary win for the sector.• How to build a culture where cybersecurity is more than doom and gloom, and the best ways to celebrate the wins. A copy of the report Sean mentioned can be found here. https://www.bitdefender.com/en-us/blog/businessinsights/ransomware-attacks-targeting-us-organizations-2026 To catch up on past episodes, you can go to Manufacturing.net, IEN.com or MBTmag.com.

What's up fraud fighters, and welcome back to Fraud Forward!I always say fraud is a team sport, and this episode is exactly why.I recorded these conversations live from the ACFE fraud conference in Boston, sitting down with five fraud fighters who each bring a completely different piece of the puzzle. Law enforcement. Banking. Government. Fintech. BSA. Investigations. Every single one of them came back to the same point: we cannot fight fraud alone, and the silos we work in are one of the biggest advantages we are handing to fraudsters.Marc Evans opened the conversation by making the case that fraud analyst training has to be rooted in real cases, not theory. Linda Miller followed with one of the most honest takes of the day: the organizations waiting for regulatory guidance before building their AI governance frameworks are already behind. Tracy Swaim added something I had never heard framed so cleanly, that document fraud is a context problem, not a technology problem. And Dustin Eaton brought it back to the data: clean, collective information is the edge, and fraudsters are counting on us not having it.Jen Lamont closed it out with a reminder that hit close to home. For every fraud fighter who cannot make it to a conference like this, the knowledge is still out there. Podcasts, white papers, LinkedIn, local and international fraud associations. This community is one of the most generous there is.And if there is one thing I took away from all five conversations, it is this: fraudsters share everything with each other. Until we do the same, we are always playing catch-up.What you'll hear in this episode:Why the ACFE fraud conference brings together fraud fighters from banking, government, law enforcement, fintech, and investigations under one roofHow cross-sector fraud prevention helps organizations identify emerging threats fasterWhy breaking silos in fraud is one of the biggest opportunities facing our industry right nowWhat Marc Evans has learned training new fraud analysts using real investigations and holistic case dataWhy AI governance is outpacing organizational readiness, and what Linda Miller says financial institutions should do before regulations catch upHow Tracy Swaim reframes document fraud detection around interrogating context rather than authenticating the document itselfWhy clean and connected data is the foundation of effective AI-driven fraud prevention, according to Dustin EatonHow Jen Lamont approaches fraud analyst training, mentorship, and continuous learning for fraud teams at every levelCareer advice for new fraud fighters from five professionals who have built careers across every corner of this industryYou should listen to this episode if you:Attend fraud conferences and want practical ideas you can bring back to your teamLead a fraud, investigations, risk, or financial crimes program and want to strengthen cross-sector fraud preventionAre responsible for fraud analyst training or new fraud analyst onboardingWant to understand how AI governance and deepfake document fraud are reshaping the threat landscapeAre early in your fraud career and want honest advice from professionals across banking, government, law enforcement, and fintech

How do we reclaim the narrative of modern nursing across generations? In this episode of The Gritty Nurse Podcast, host Amie Archibald-Varley sits down with extraordinary nurses, advocates, and authors Tilda Shalof and Lisa Mochrie to discuss their powerful new book, The Handover: A Nurse's Last Shift. Separated by a 40-year career gap, Tilda Shalof and Lisa Mochrie share their inspiring personal journeys through nursing to show that despite a lifetime of different experiences, we have far more in common than what divides us. At its heart, this episode is about the vital importance of nurses sharing their own stories—because when we write our own narratives, we reclaim our power. Together, they deliver a masterclass in perseverance, nurse mentorship, and finding your voice. They dive deep into why authentic storytelling is the ultimate tool for bridging generational divides, healing the healer, and driving systemic advocacy in healthcare. What We Discuss in This Episode: Why Nurses Must Share Their Stories: The critical importance of taking back our narrative, sharing our lived experiences, and refusing to let others define what it means to be a nurse. Bridging the 40-Year Gap: How a veteran nurse and a newer generation nurse found common ground, proving that the core of the nursing experience transcends time. The Power of Storytelling: Why sharing our raw, unfiltered experiences is crucial to changing the public perception of the nursing profession. Navigating Systemic Challenges: Honest strategies for tackling burnout, staffing shortages, and institutional hurdles in healthcare today. The Importance of Mentorship: How experienced chapters can uplift the next generation, and how new nurses can find the guidance they deserve. The Handover Book: The inspiration behind their book and how it serves as a love letter—and a wake-up call—to the nursing world. Career Longevity: Practical advice for protecting your mental health and thriving at every stage of your nursing career. Meet the Guests: Tilda Shalof was a staff nurse in the Medical-Surgical Intensive Care Unit at Toronto General Hospital for thirty years. She is the best-selling author of several memoirs, including A Nurse's Story, and was awarded the King Charles III Coronation Medal in 2025 for her profound contributions to nursing education. Lisa Mochrie is a Registered Nurse, Team Lead, and Nursing Educator based in Burlington, Ontario.Recognized for her compassionate clinical practice and dedication to mentoring, she was honored by her students with the Most Valuable Professor Award in 2025.

Vor einem halben Jahr hat Theresa ihren Job als Teamlead in einem Modeunternehmen **gekündigt** und den Schritt in die Vollselbstständigkeit gewagt. Heute lebt sie von ihrer Arbeit als Brand Designerin und Personal Brand Fotografin. Dazwischen lagen unzählige Entscheidungen, Selbstzweifel, mutige Schritte und genau die Fragen, die wahrscheinlich viele kennen: _Reicht das wirklich? Werden Menschen bereit sein, meine Preise zu bezahlen? Kann ich davon leben, ohne meinen Lebensstandard aufgeben zu müssen?_ In dieser Folge blicken wir gemeinsam auf ein Jahr Mentoring zurück. Wir sprechen darüber, welche Entscheidungen wirklich den Unterschied gemacht haben, warum der Weg in die Selbstständigkeit selten geradlinig verläuft und weshalb persönliches Wachstum oft der größte Hebel für unternehmerischen Erfolg ist. **Du stehst gerade an einem ähnlichen Punkt wie Theresa vor einem Jahr?** Vielleicht hast du schon ein Ziel für dein Business, weißt aber nicht genau, welche Schritte jetzt wirklich den Unterschied machen. Oder du hast das Gefühl, ständig neue Inhalte zu konsumieren, anstatt endlich ins Umsetzen zu kommen. **Genau dafür gibt es meinen kostenfreien Umsetzungs-Call.** Wir schauen uns gemeinsam deine aktuelle Situation an, finden gemeinsam heraus, was aktuell der größte Hebel für dein Business ist und welche nächsten Schritte für dich jetzt wirklich sinnvoll sind.“

About 100 authorized assessors. An estimated 118,000+ companies that need to be assessed. That math is the reason CMMC can't wait — and it's where this conversation starts. Brett Cox, lead CMMC Certified Assessor and head of Boeing's DFARS CMMC Program Management Office, joins host Jen Stone to explain what the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification actually requires, why the November 2026 third-party assessment deadline is creating a bottleneck, and how a small or mid-sized contractor should take the first step. KEY TAKEAWAYS Phase 2 — the third-party (C3PAO) assessment requirement — goes live November 10, 2026. The right to waive the requirement goes away in 2028. Under CMMC, you must verify the subcontractor below you holds the required level before you can award them work. Their compliance is now your problem. The bottleneck is real: ~100 assessors vs. ~118,000 companies. Expect a months-long queue — get in line now. COTS (unmodified commercial off-the-shelf) is the only exemption, and there's no minimum dollar threshold. Modify a part and it's no longer exempt. You can't use the same company for both readiness consulting and your assessment. First step: decide your level (FCI vs. CUI), download the scoping and assessment guides from the DoD CIO site, and start your gap analysis. RESOURCES DoD CIO CMMC documentation (scoping & assessment guides): https://dowcio.war.gov/CMMC/Resources-Documentation/Cyber AB Marketplace (find a C3PAO or consultant): https://cyberab.org/marketplace NIST SP 800-171 https://csrc.nist.gov/Pubs/sp/800/171/r3/finalSecurityMetrics CMMC services: https://www.securitymetrics.com/product/cmmcAbout the GuestBrett Cox — Lead CMMC Certified Assessor; Principal & Team Lead, DFARS CMMC Program Management Office, The Boeing Company.

What happens when a passion for helping others creates opportunities that extend far beyond your own career?  In this episode of our Golden Hoodie Winners series, we sit down with Kaelan Moss, Salesforce Marketing Cloud Instructor, Team Lead at Revolent Group, and recipient of the Salesforce Golden Hoodie award. Kaelan shares a deeply personal story that began with a desire to help others and ultimately led to one of the highest honors in the Salesforce ecosystem.   From an athletic background and a degree in economics to becoming a respected Salesforce educator, Kaelan's path into technology was anything but traditional. His story is a powerful example of how curiosity, discipline, and a willingness to teach others can create opportunities that change lives.  The Decision That Changed Everything  During the uncertainty of the pandemic, Kaelan made a bold decision. After moving back home, he committed to supporting his family while teaching his mother and sister Salesforce Marketing Cloud skills.  He paid the bills, created a learning environment, and helped them develop new careers in technology. What started as a family project became a story that resonated throughout the Trailblazer Community and eventually caught the attention of Salesforce.  Kaelan reflects on the lessons learned from that experience, why leading by example matters, and how consistent daily actions often have a greater impact than grand gestures.   Creating New Paths into Tech  One of the most compelling parts of our conversation centres on career opportunities beyond traditional education pathways.  Kaelan shares why he believes platforms like Salesforce have created accessible routes into well-paid, flexible careers for people from all backgrounds. He discusses the financial realities many families face, the burden of student debt, and why practical, hands-on learning can open doors that many people never knew existed.  His mission today is simple: help people discover opportunities that can create greater freedom and choice in their lives.  Why Marketing Cloud Captured His Attention  As someone fascinated by psychology and human behaviour, Kaelan explains why Marketing Cloud became his specialization.  We discuss the relationships among technology, communication, and how people make decisions. For Kaelan, marketing sits at the intersection of technology and human behaviour, making it one of the most interesting areas within the Salesforce ecosystem.  His perspective offers valuable insights for anyone considering a career in marketing technology or customer engagement.  Making Sense of AI Without the Hype  Artificial intelligence is transforming every corner of the technology industry, but Kaelan brings a refreshing perspective to the conversation.  He shares his thoughts on the growing AI noise online, why critical thinking matters when using AI tools, and how professionals can avoid being distracted by fear-based messaging.  We also discuss how he uses ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Grok in his own work, comparing their strengths and explaining why understanding the quality of your inputs remains just as important as the technology itself.  A Simple Learning Habit Anyone Can Use  Having trained hundreds of aspiring Marketing Cloud professionals, Kaelan reveals the learning technique he credits with helping him succeed throughout college, certification exams, and his professional career.  His advice is practical, easy to implement, and something listeners can start using immediately, whether they are studying Salesforce, learning a new skill, or working toward a career change.   Check out our website at www.mumsoncloudnine.co.uk and subscribe for weekly tips to elevate your mindset.  What part of Kaelan's story resonated most with you, and could his approach inspire someone in your own family to consider a career in tech?  What Is the Salesforce Golden Hoodie?  "The Salesforce Golden Hoodie is a special recognition and token of appreciation bestowed upon individuals who have shared their stories of doing well by doing good.

Have you ever wondered where all your digital memories, work projects, or favorite photos actually live in the cloud? In this episode, Lois Houston and Nikita Abraham discuss cloud storage. They explore how data is carefully organized, the different ways it can be stored—whether right next to the server or across the network—and what keeps it safe and easy to find.   Cloud Tech Jumpstart: https://mylearn.oracle.com/ou/course/cloud-tech-jumpstart/152992 Oracle University Learning Community: https://education.oracle.com/ou-community LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/oracle-university/ X: https://x.com/Oracle_Edu   Special thanks to Arijit Ghosh, Anna Hulkower, Radhika Banka, and the OU Studio Team for helping us create this episode. ------------------------------------------------------   Episode Transcript:    00:00 Hi there! We're hitting rewind for the next few weeks and bringing back some of our most popular episodes. So, sit back and enjoy these highlights from our archive. 00:12 Welcome to the Oracle University Podcast, the first stop on your cloud journey. During this series of informative podcasts, we'll bring you foundational training on the most popular Oracle technologies. Let's get started! 00:38 Nikita: Welcome to the Oracle University Podcast! I'm Nikita Abraham, Team Lead of Editorial Services with Oracle University, and with me is Lois Houston, Director of Innovation Programs. Lois: Hey there! Last week, we spoke about the differences between traditional and cloud data centers, and covered components like CPU, RAM, and operating systems. If you haven't listened to the episode yet, I'd suggest going back and listening to it before you dive into this one.  Nikita: Joining us again is Orlando Gentil, Principal OCI Instructor at Oracle University, and we're going to ask him about another fundamental concept: storage. 01:16 Lois: That's right, Niki. Hi Orlando! Thanks for being with us again today. You introduced cloud data centers last week, but tell us, how is data stored and accessed in these centers?  Orlando: At a fundamental level, storage is where your data resides persistently. Data stored on a storage device is accessed by the CPU and, for specialized tasks, the GPU. The RAM acts as a high-speed intermediary, temporarily holding data that the CPU and the GPU are actively working on. This cyclical flow ensures that applications can effectively retrieve, process, and store information, forming the backbone for our computing operations in the data center. 02:05 Nikita: But how is data organized and controlled on disks? Orlando: To effectively store and manage data on physical disks, a structured approach is required, which is defined by file systems and permissions. The process began with disks. These are the raw physical storage devices. Before data can be written to them, disks are typically divided into partitions. A partition is a logical division of a physical disk that acts as if it were a separated physical disk. This allows you to organize your storage space and even install multiple operating systems on a single drive. Once partitions are created, they are formatted with a file system. 02:53 Nikita: Ok, sorry but I have to stop you there. Can you explain what a file system is? And how is data organized using a file system?  Orlando: The file system is the method and the data structure that an operating system uses to organize and manage files on storage devices. It dictates how data is named, is stored, retrieved, and managed on the disk, essentially providing the roadmap for data. Common file systems include NTFS for Windows and ext4 or XFS for Linux. Within this file system, data is organized hierarchically into directories, also known as folders. These containers help to logically group related files, which are the individual units of data, whether they are documents, images, videos, or applications. Finally, overseeing this entire organization are permissions.  03:55 Lois: And what are permissions? Orlando: Permissions define who can access a specific files and directories and what actions they are allowed to perform-- for example, read, write, or execute. This access control, often managed by user, group, and other permissions, is fundamental for security, data integrity, and multi-user environments within a data center.  04:21 Lois: Ok, now that we have a good understanding of how data is organized logically, can we talk about how data is stored locally within a server?   Orlando: Local storage refers to storage devices directly attached to a server or computer. The three common types are Hard Disk Drive. These are traditional storage devices using spinning platters to store data. They offer large capacity at a lower cost per gigabyte, making them suitable for bulk data storage when high performance isn't the top priority. Unlike hard disks, solid state drives use flash memory to store data, similar to USB drives but on a larger scale. They provide significantly faster read and write speeds, better durability, and lower power consumption than hard disks, making them ideal for operating systems, applications, and frequently accessed data. Non-Volatile Memory Express is a communication interface specifically designed for solid state that connects directly to the PCI Express bus. NVME offers even faster performance than traditional SATA-based solid state drives by reducing latency and increasing bandwidth, making it the top choice for demanding workloads that require extreme speed, such as high-performance databases and AI applications. Each type serves different performance and cost requirements within a data center. While local storage is essential for immediate access, data center also heavily rely on storage that isn't directly attached to a single server.  06:11 Lois: I'm guessing you're hinting at remote storage. Can you tell us more about that, Orlando? Orlando: Remote storage refers to data storage solutions that are not physically connected to the server or client accessing them. Instead, they are accessed over the network. This setup allows multiple clients or servers to share access to the same storage resources, centralizing data management and improving data availability. This architecture is fundamental to cloud computing, enabling vast pools of shared storage that can be dynamically provisioned to various users and applications. 06:48 Lois: Let's talk about the common forms of remote storage. Can you run us through them? Orlando: One of the most common and accessible forms of remote storage is Network Attached Storage or NAS. NAS is a dedicated file storage device connected to a network that allows multiple users and client devices to retrieve data from a centralized disk capacity. It's essentially a server dedicated to serving files. A client connects to the NAS over the network. And the NAS then provides access to files and folders. NAS devices are ideal for scenarios requiring shared file access, such as document collaboration, centralized backups, or serving media files, making them very popular in both home and enterprise environments. While NAS provides file-level access over a network, some applications, especially those requiring high performance and direct block level access to storage, need a different approach.  07:50 Nikita: And what might this approach be?  Orlando: Internet Small Computer System Interface, which provides block-level storage over an IP network. iSCSI or Internet Small Computer System Interface is a standard that allows the iSCSI protocol traditionally used for local storage to be sent over IP networks. Essentially, it enables servers to access storage devices as if they were directly attached even though they are located remotely on the network.  This means it can leverage standard ethernet infrastructure, making it a cost-effective solution for creating high performance, centralized storage accessible over an existing network. It's particularly useful for server virtualization and database environments where block-level access is preferred. While iSCSI provides block-level access over standard IP, for environments demanding even higher performance, lower latency, and greater dedicated throughput, a specialized network is often deployed.  08:59 Nikita: And what's this specialized network called? Orlando: Storage Area Network or SAN. A Storage Area Network or SAN is a high-speed network specifically designed to provide block-level access to consolidated shared storage. Unlike NAS, which provides file level access, a SAN presents a storage volumes to servers as if they were local disks, allowing for very high performance for applications like databases and virtualized environments. While iSCSI SANs use ethernet, many high-performance SANs utilize fiber channel for even faster and more reliable data transfer, making them a cornerstone of enterprise data centers where performance and availability are paramount. 09:56 Do you want to master Oracle Database on AWS?

Orlando, are there any other popular storage paradigms we should know about? Orlando: Beyond file level and block level storage, cloud environments have popularized another flexible and highly scalable storage paradigm, object storage.  Object storage is a modern approach to storing data, treating each piece of data as a distinct, self-contained unit called an object. Unlike file systems that organize data in a hierarchy or block storage that breaks data into fixed size blocks, object storage manages data as flat, unstructured objects. Each object is stored with unique identifiers and rich metadata, making it highly scalable and flexible for massive amounts of data. This service handles the complexity of storage, providing access to vast repositories of data. Object storage is ideal for use cases like cloud-native applications, big data analytics, content distribution, and large-scale backups thanks to its immense scalability, durability, and cost effectiveness. While object storage is excellent for frequently accessed data in rapidly growing data sets, sometimes data needs to be retained for very long periods but is accessed infrequently. For these scenarios, a specialized low-cost storage tier, known as archive storage, comes into play. 11:59 Lois: And what's that exactly? Orlando: Archive storage is specifically designed for long-term backup and retention of data that you rarely, if ever, access. This includes critical information, like old records, compliance data that needs to be kept for regulatory reasons, or disaster recovery backups. The key characteristics of archive storage are extremely low cost per gigabyte, achieved by optimizing for infrequent access rather than speed. Historically, tape backup systems were the common solution for archiving, where data from a data center is moved to tape. In modern cloud environments, this has evolved into cloud backup solutions. Cloud-based archiving leverages high-cost, effective during cloud storage tiers that are purpose built for long term retention, providing a scalable and often more reliable alternative to physical tapes. 13:01 Lois: Thank you, Orlando, for taking the time to talk to us about the hardware and software layers of cloud data centers. This information will surely help our listeners to make informed decisions about cloud infrastructure to meet their workload needs in terms of performance, scalability, cost, and management.  Nikita: That's right, Lois.

During this series of informative podcasts, we'll bring you foundational training on the most popular Oracle technologies. Let's get started! 00:26 Lois: Hello and welcome to another episode of the Oracle University Podcast! I'm Lois Houston, Director of Communications and Adoption Programs with Customer Success Services, and with me is Nikita Abraham, Team Lead of Editorial Services with Oracle University.  Nikita: Hi everyone! Thanks for joining us! In our previous episode of this series, we took a deep dive into Oracle AI Vector Search and Retrieval Augmented Generation, or RAG, showing how unstructured data can be transformed into embeddings to power smarter, more context-aware AI with Oracle Database 23ai. Lois: That's right, Niki. We also explored how the OCI Generative AI service can be used with both Python and PL/SQL, and how AI Vector Search enables relevant information retrieval for large language model prompts. 01:21 Nikita: Today, we're focusing on the latest supporting features for Oracle AI Vector Search. Joining us once again is Brent Dayley, Senior Principal APEX and Apps Dev Instructor. Welcome back, Brent! To kick things off, could you outline what's new in Exadata with the 24ai release, particularly for AI storage? Brent: So Exadata has ushered in a new era of AI capabilities with 24ai release. Key features of Exadata system software 24ai include AI Smart Scan, Exadata RDMA Memory, known as XRMEM, Exadata Smart Flash Cache, and on-storage processing.  In-Memory Columnar Speed JSON Queries, Transparent Cross-Tier Scans, and caching enhancements, including Columnar Smart Scan at Memory Speed, Exadata Cache Observability, and Automatic KEEP Object Load into Exadata Flash Cache.  Now, Exadata system software 24ai is a significant release. It ushers in a new era of AI capabilities for Oracle Database users.  Now there have been some infrastructure improvements, including the ability to increase the number of virtual machines on X10M and Secure Boot for KVM Virtual Machines.  We have also improved and enhanced high availability and network resilience, including improved RoCE Network Resilience and enhanced RoCE Network Discovery. There have been some enhancements for monitoring and management, including AWR and SQL Monitor Enhancements and JSON API for Management Server.  Additionally, security enhancement. SNMP Security. Now, Exadata system software 24ai is supported on Exadata database machines and storage expansion racks from X6 and newer.  03:40 Lois: Those are some fantastic advancements for Exadata users. Now, let's pivot to distributed AI. Brent, can you walk us through how GoldenGate enables distributed AI? Brent: Let's take a look at some common GoldenGate use cases as a refresher. The first use case is multi-active, high availability, and cross-region deployments, spanning on-premises and cloud environments.  Another use case includes data offloading and data hub creation in order to support multiple downstream applications. Real-time data stores for Downstream Marts and Analytics. Micro and mini services architecture and an audit history of transactions.  Other use cases include migrations and upgrades of databases, including OCI-hosted databases. Another use case would be creating analytic data feeds for various applications, including SaaS and on-premises apps. And finally, stream analytics using application and transaction events captured by GoldenGate Stream Analytics.  05:03 Nikita: We know GoldenGate has long been a staple for enterprise data integration. So Brent, what makes GoldenGate the best choice today, and how has its architecture evolved? Brent: It offers DIY Stream Analytics. GoldenGate does remain the top choice for Enterprise Standard, real-time data streaming. It supports Oracle and third-party databases, vector sources, messaging systems, and NoSQL databases.  OCI offers a fully managed pipeline builder for Stream Analytics. This pipeline leverages various OCI services, such as OCI Streaming for real-time event ingestion, OCI Dataflow for stream processing, OCI Big Data for data storage and processing, and OCI Stream Analytics for real-time event processing and analysis.  GoldenGate microservices, available since 2017 in Oracle GoldenGate 12.3, is used in over 4,000 deployments in OCI. Benefits of GoldenGate microservices include the ability to employ the same trusted Extract and Replicat processes as the classic architecture.  Provides flexible and secure remote administration through a user-friendly web interface or CLI. Deployable on-premises in OCI as a service and in third-party cloud environments. Simplified patching and upgrading process.  Now the GoldenGate architecture evolution. First, classic architecture that was deprecated in version 19c and desupported in 23ai. Microservices Architecture introduced in version 12.3 and is the recommended architecture. A migration utility is available to upgrade from classic to microservices architecture.  07:12 Are you ready to create and manage AI Agents in Fusion Applications?

Start with the Foundations course to build, customize, and deploy AI Agents, and then advance to the Developer Professional certification. Explore hands-on labs and real-world case studies. Visit mylearn.oracle.com for all the details.  07:39 Nikita: Welcome back! It sounds like the latest GoldenGate updates offer new features and integrations. Could you share more about these enhancements? Brent: There are many new features and enhancements in GoldenGate, along with microservices, including a redesigned GUI for enhanced usability. Integration with StatsD and Telegraf for monitoring and metrics. OCI IAM integration for secure access control.  JSON Relational Duality for flexible data handling. Next-generation AI with distributed vector support. PDB Extract Capture for efficient data extraction from Oracle Pluggable Databases. DDL notification on Target Tables for schema evolution management.  Support for non-Oracle and Big Data technologies. Online DDL and EBR enhancement for improved performance. Data Streams Pub-Sub for asynchronous data dissemination. Async API support for standardized event communication. High-availability clusters for increased resilience. Trail Files Management for efficient data storage. And support for new features in 23ai database.  It also includes integrated diagnostics for improved troubleshooting of IE and IR processes. And 30 or more OS and database certifications for wider platform support. @Dbfunction Mapping for custom data transformations. And lastly, GoldenGate free recipes for pre-built solutions and best practices.  New in GoldenGate, distributed AI processing with vector replication.  09:37 Lois: And what type of use cases does this enable? Brent: Migrating vectors into Oracle Vector Database. Replicating and consolidating vector changes. Implementing multi-cloud, multi-active Oracle vector databases. Streaming text and vector changes to search engines.  Key considerations include that embedding models must be consistent across all vector stores for effective similarity searches.  10:09 Lois: Now, many organizations wonder if they can use generative AI with their own business data. Brent, how do enterprises typically approach this? Brent: Organizations are using generative AI typically like this.  Building LLMs from scratch. Training models on proprietary data for specific tasks. Fine-tuning LLMs, adapting pre-trained models to a specific domain using private data. And prompt engineering with retrieval augmented generation or RAG. Augmenting prompts with relevant information retrieved from a knowledge base to improve the accuracy and relevance of LLM responses.  Now it's possible to create a real-time vector hub for GenAI. This hub can ingest real-time data from various sources, including Oracle and third-party relational databases, vector databases, third-party messaging systems, and NoSQL databases, business updates, documents, events, and alerts.  11:11 Nikita: And how does the vector hub work?  Brent: DML and DDL changes, vector changes, and prompt or chat history are used to enrich prompts. And embedding model generates embeddings from the text data.  Similarity search is performed on these embeddings to retrieve relevant information from the vector hub. The retrieved information is used to augment the prompt, leading to more accurate and trustworthy answers from the LLM. Now, the benefits of real-time data and generative AI include the ability to ensure answers are based on fresh business data. And helps reduce hallucinations in generative AI responses.  Actionable AI and machine learning from streaming pipelines allows data from ERP and SaaS applications, databases, event messaging systems, and NoSQL databases to be ingested into streaming pipelines. This data can then be used for AI and machine learning model training, similarity searches, machine learning tasks, external AI, and machine learning integrations, alerts, and data product creation.  12:25 Lois: So if you had to summarize, Brent, why does GoldenGate 23ai stand out for artificial intelligence workloads? Brent: Well, first up, it improves data quality for AI model training and fine-tuning. And secondly, it enhances retrieval augmented generation by providing real-time access to relevant business data, leading to more accurate and trustworthy generative AI responses.  Nikita: Thank you, Brent, for sharing your insights and detailing these exciting new features across Oracle's AI stack.

Customer experience isn't failing because people don't care, it fails because teams confuse slogans with systems. Jeannie Walters is joined by Larissa Salazar from Brand Builders Group for a special CX Pulse Check to celebrate the launch of Jeannie's book, Experience Is Everything: Making Every Moment Count In The Age Of Customer Expectations, and to talk about what it really takes for a message to break through in a noisy world. We get practical about the shift that changes everything: customer service is reactive, but customer experience must be proactive. If you only show up when something goes wrong, you're already behind. We talk about designing the end-to-end customer journey with intention, choosing how you want customers to feel, and connecting experience design to the outcomes leaders care about. Along the way, we call out a common trap in CX leadership: treating Net Promoter Score like a strategy instead of a measurement you influence through real changes. Jeannie also shares the mindset strategy discipline framework from the book, including how a clear customer experience mission statement becomes a usable North Star across teams. Larissa pulls back the curtain on what she sees with experts and first-time authors, why your best knowledge is often the “small steps” you forget to write down, and how templates and frameworks help customer experience change agents take action fast. If you're trying to operationalize customer-centricity, build a real CX strategy, and move from reactivity to discipline, this conversation is your push to start.

In this episode of the Oracle University Podcast, hosts Lois Houston and Nikita Abraham are joined by Brent Dayley, Senior Principal APEX & Apps Dev Instructor. Together, they explore how to implement Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) using Oracle AI Vector Search and OCI Generative AI. Brent walks listeners through the similarities and differences between building RAG workflows with Python and PL/SQL, offering practical insights into embedding creation, semantic search, and prompt engineering within Oracle's technology stack.   Oracle AI Vector Search Deep Dive: https://mylearn.oracle.com/ou/course/oracle-ai-vector-search-deep-dive/144706/ Oracle University Learning Community: https://education.oracle.com/ou-community LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/oracle-university/ X: https://x.com/Oracle_Edu   Special thanks to Arijit Ghosh, Anna Hulkower, Kris-Ann Nansen, and the OU Studio Team for helping us create this episode.   Please note, this episode was recorded before Oracle AI Database 26ai replaced Oracle Database 23ai.

During this series of informative podcasts, we'll bring you foundational training on the most popular Oracle technologies. Let's get started! 00:26 Lois: Hello and welcome to another episode of the Oracle University Podcast! I'm Lois Houston, Director of Communications and Adoption Programs with Customer Success Services, and with me is Nikita Abraham, Team Lead for Editorial Services with Oracle University.  Nikita: Hi everyone! If you joined us last week, you'll remember we explored AI Vector Search and how Retrieval Augmented Generation, or RAG, empowers large language models by surfacing relevant business content for smarter, more context-aware answers. Lois: That's right, Niki. We also looked at how unstructured data gets transformed into embeddings, how these vectors power semantic search, and how Oracle Database 23ai is uniquely designed to support these advanced AI workflows. Nikita: Today, we're building on that foundation with an exciting double feature. We'll start with an introduction to OCI Generative AI Service and how you can use it with Python, and then dive into Retrieval Augmented Generation with Oracle AI Vector Search and the OCI Gen AI service using PL/SQL. 01:32 Lois: And to walk us through these topics, we're delighted to welcome back Brent Dayley, Senior Principal APEX & Apps Dev Instructor. Brent, it's great to have you. So, tell us, how does the OCI Generative AI service use Oracle AI Vector Search? Brent: So OCI Generative AI service allows us to take user questions and augment those using external data from outside of the large language model that allows us to return augmented content.  We would leverage Oracle AI Vector Search in order to retrieve contextually relevant information. And we would create prompts that have some sort of a meaning to help guide the user to input the appropriate types of questions. And this allows us to retrieve the data using a large language model.  02:27 Nikita: What are the typical steps for implementing a RAG workflow using the OCI Generative AI service in Python? Brent: We would load the document. Transform the document to text. And then split the text into chunks.  So if you're talking about maybe a PDF that contains chapters, we might split the different chapters into individual chunks. We would then set up Oracle AI Vector Search and insert the embedding vectors. We would build the prompt to query the document. And then we would invoke the chain.  So first, you would load the text sources from a file. Open a terminal window and connect to your compute instance. And launch ipython to allow interactive work.  Ipython allows you to insert a series of steps in order to put different commands in different steps. You might load the source file called FAQs. Next, you would load the FAQ chunks into the Vector Database. You would create a connection and connect to your database. And then create the table. And then you would vectorize the text chunks and then encode the text chunks. And then insert the chunks and vectors into the database.  Next, you would vectorize the question. Define the SQL script ordering the results by the calculated score. Define the question. Write the retrieval code. And then execute the code. Finally, you would print the results. Then we would create the large language model prompt and call the AI generative LLM. Ensure that our prompt does not exceed the maximum context length of the model. And then define the prompt content.  We would then initialize the OCI client and then make the call.  04:47 Here's some exciting news! Oracle University has training to help your teams unlock Redwood—the next-gen design system for Fusion Cloud Applications. Learn how Redwood improves your user experience and discover how to personalize your Fusion investment using Visual Builder Studio. Whatever your role, visit mylearn.oracle.com and check out these courses today!  05:12 Nikita: Thanks, Brent. That gives us a nice overview of how Python can be leveraged with OCI Generative AI. Now, how would you compare working with Python for building RAG applications to using PL/SQL? Can you walk us through the high-level process for building a RAG solution in this environment? Brent: First, we would want to load the document. Next, we would transform the document into plain text. After that, we would take that text and split it into meaningful chunks. Next, we would go ahead and set up Oracle AI Vector Search and insert the embedding vectors. We would then build the prompt so that we can query the document. And then we would invoke all of those previous steps as our chain.  06:04 Lois: OK, and can we take a closer look at each of these steps?  Brent: Step 1, text extraction and preparation. So, let's imagine we have some sort of document that we want to use as the augmented information. We would load that document. Next, we would transform the document to text. And we have a function in the DBMS Vector Chain Package called util to text. And this is used to extract plain text from the loaded documents.  Next, we would want to split the text into meaningful chunks. The DBMS Vector Chain Package has another function called util two chunks, that allows us to divide the extracted text into smaller, more manageable pieces, which we call chunks.  07:02 Nikita: Once we have our text chunks ready, what's the next step to make our data searchable and useful for the large language model? Brent: Step number 2, we would want to go ahead and use embedding models in order to create our vectors. We would load multiple ONNX models into the database. And the reason we would do this is because models with a greater number of dimensions usually produce higher quality vector embeddings.  So you might want to load multiple different ONNX models into the database so that you can generate embeddings from each of the models, and then compare those vector embeddings using those different models. You would create vector embeddings using PL/SQL packages.  07:55 Lois: After embeddings are created, how does the solution find the most relevant content in response to a user's question? Brent: Step 3, we would then go and do a similarity search so that we can return a response. We would select the text chunks that have the relevant information for the input user question based on vector search. This allows for integrating with Oracle's Gen AI Large Language Model Service to generate responses. The process ensures that the large language model generates contextually appropriate and relevant answers for those users' queries.  Now, step 4 is to build the prompt, and I want to stress the importance of large language model prompt engineering. What this will do is to carefully craft input queries or instructions so that we can get more accurate and desirable outputs from the large language model.  This allows developers to guide the LLM's behavior and tailor its responses to specific requirements. This is what we call LLM Prompt Engineering. And it allows us, as I was saying, to craft input queries or instructions so that we can create more accurate and desirable outputs.  Next, we would use an example interactive RAG application that uses the Streamlit framework in order to create a user-friendly interface. This interface will allow us to upload documents, pose the question, and receive relevant answers generated by the underlying RAG pipeline within the database.  In the final step, we will have an input prompt that asks us to ask a question about the PDF. We will then type in some sort of a question relative to the PDF content. And then we would retrieve the return data based on the input question.  10:11 Nikita: Brent, thank you for walking us through both the Python and PL/SQL approaches for building RAG solutions with Oracle Generative AI.

The Displacing University podcast series is a series of long form interviews with people who have set up, run or research education programmes at European universities for people who have experienced displacement, including refugees and asylum seekers. In this episode of Displacing Universities Ian and Monica are speaking about the various Initiatives for Refugees at University of Cologne with Ariane Elshof. Ariane works in the Department 'International Students & Global Responsibility' where she's the Team Lead for Academic Refugee Support and Coordinates the Study Preparatory Measures for Refugees.

In this episode host Carolyn Woodard is joined by Norwin Herrera, IT Business Manager and Team Lead at Community IT. Together, they walk through a real-world case study of a public charter school that implemented a Single Sign-On (SSO) platform called Clever that can solve cybersecurity and accessibility challenges for adult or child students.Strategic IT Leadership for NonprofitsUnlike a traditional account manager, an IT Business Manager (ITBM) acts as a strategic partner, helping nonprofit leadership understand the technology landscape and make informed decisions that align with their mission. The ITBM role is unique to Community IT and is an example of a commitment to partnering with clients over the long term.In this case, the goal was to find a SSO solution that could handle a complex mix of Chromebooks and Windows devices while remaining user-friendly for both adult students and faculty.The Power of Single Sign-OnSSO acts as one door for all of your doors. By using Clever as an identity manager, the organization was able to:Enhance Cybersecurity: Centralizing access allows for immediate offboarding. If a student or staff member leaves, closing one account automatically secures access to all others, prevents fraud, and saves money.Automate User Provisioning: Through zero intervention integration with the Student Information System (SIS), accounts are created or deactivated automatically based on enrollment status.Improve User Experience: Students no longer need to remember multiple different passwords for Google, Microsoft, Zoom, and Slack for example. One password provides access to all the apps they have access to as a student using a school device.Reduce Administrative Costs: Norwin breaks down the ROI of SSO, comparing a small per-user fee against the hundreds of hours of manual labor required to manage accounts individually.Change Management and Successful ImplementationA successful IT project is about more than just software; it is about people. Norwin explains why this project resulted in zero tickets and no complaints: it started with leadership buy-in and a commitment to clear communication.Whether you are an executive at a school or a volunteer board member at a community nonprofit, this episode offers practical insights into how integrated cybersecurity and strategic IT planning can save your organization time and money.Listen in to learn how your organization can move toward a more secure and efficient digital future by subscribing to the Community IT Innovators Technology Topics podcast. _______________________________Start a conversation :) Register to attend a webinar in real time, and find all past transcripts at https://communityit.com/webinars/ email Carolyn at cwoodard@communityit.com on LinkedIn Thanks for listening.

A highly unusual winter storm swept across the United States on Jan. 24-25, plunging parts of the midwest into long stretches of below zero temperatures while dumping feet of snow from Kansas and Missouri all the way into the Northeast.Sleet and ice clogged up conditions from Texas to the Carolinas, and despite the extreme conditions, the precipitation was welcome as drought conditions have continued to spread across the middle of the country.To bring us up to speed on the winter storm and its impacts, we're joined by DTN's Team Lead for Ag Weather John Baranick. He'll walk us through winter conditions thus far for key farming regions across the U.S. and offer insight into the forecasting of the latest winter storm.Then he'll take us beat by beat through the impacts in different regions, from rain, sleet, and snowfall totals and the likely effect on drought conditions to temperature variations and how overwintering crops might be affected. We'll get an updated forecast for the half of winter that remains, and hear what wildcards John thinks might still be at play.Finally, we'll take a look at conditions in South America and get a clearer picture of how crops in Argentina and Brazil are shaping up as farmers move towards harvest time.

Democracy might be a brief historical blip. That's the unsettling thesis of a recent paper, which argues AI that can do all the work a human can do inevitably leads to the “gradual disempowerment” of humanity.For most of history, ordinary people had almost no control over their governments. Liberal democracy emerged only recently, and probably not coincidentally around the Industrial Revolution.Today's guest, David Duvenaud, used to lead the 'alignment evals' team at Anthropic, is a professor of computer science at the University of Toronto, and recently co-authored 'Gradual disempowerment.'Links to learn more, video, and full transcript: https://80k.info/ddHe argues democracy wasn't the result of moral enlightenment — it was competitive pressure. Nations that educated their citizens and gave them political power built better armies and more productive economies. But what happens when AI can do all the producing — and all the fighting?“The reason that states have been treating us so well in the West, at least for the last 200 or 300 years, is because they've needed us,” David explains. “Life can only get so bad when you're needed. That's the key thing that's going to change.”In David's telling, once AI can do everything humans can do but cheaper, citizens become a national liability rather than an asset. With no way to make an economic contribution, their only lever becomes activism — demanding a larger share of redistribution from AI production. Faced with millions of unemployed citizens turned full-time activists, democratic governments trying to retain some “legacy” human rights may find they're at a disadvantage compared to governments that strategically restrict civil liberties.But democracy is just one front.

Yinz Are Good shares the *good* news going on out there and celebrates the good people who are making it happen: The people who are lifting others up, who are taking care of their neighbors, the people who are saying, “What can I do today to make our world a better place?”.A quick note from Tressa: This episode is dropping on January 26, 2026 amidst tumultuous times for many of us – and not just here in the United States. I know our listeners from around the world are going through difficult times as well. So I just wanted to take a minute…It's uplifting that you're listening in today - that you're tuning in to hear the GOOD that people are doing for one another. Because they sure are, even though it's not what's plastered on the news, on our TV screens, and on our social media feeds. These stories are just as real. Empathy, generosity, kindness, and love are just as real. Though that's a challenge in itself, isn't it? Navigating life knowing that these opposites exist side-by-side? But…the folks featured on this show, episode in and episode out, are our guides to the constant good, and can serve as our inspiration to recognize our own unique gifts that can be used to build community and to help those in need. It is my honor to be the bearer of all of this GOODness. Thank you for being here.Tressa has the joy of welcoming Tim Lydon back to the show - yinz will remember him from Episode 122. Tim is the Co-founder of Harmony Dog Rescue and the recently-named Team Lead for The Street Dog Coalition Pittsburgh. Harmony Dog Rescue provides safe homes for dogs whose owners are experiencing homelessness, mental health challenges, domestic violence or medical emergencies. And what makes them even more amazing is that their mission includes “loving both ends of the leash” - they aim to address the needs of the human, as well as the canine. The Street Dog Coalition is a national organization whose mission is to provide free veterinary care to pets of people experiencing homelessness. Harmony Dog Rescue: https://www.harmonydogrescue.org/The Street Dog Coalition: https://www.thestreetdogcoalition.org/pittsburgh-paWatch Tressa Tries…DICK'S House of Sport on YouTube here.This episode is brought to you by DICK'S Sporting Goods — your one-stop shop to get everyone moving.
