AI is rewriting the business playbook, with productivity boosts and faster decision -making coming to every industry.
If you're not thinking about AI, you can bet your competition is.
This is not where you want to drop the ball, but AI requires a lot of compute power.
And with most cloud platforms, the cost for your AI workloads can spiral.
That is, unless you're running on OCI, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.
This was the cloud built for AI, a blazing fast enterprise -grade platform for your infrastructure, database, apps, and all your AI workloads.
OCI costs 50 % less than other major hyperscalers for compute, 70 % less for storage, and 80 % less for networking.
Thousands of businesses have already scored with OCI, including Vodafone, Thomson Reuters, and Suno AI.
Now the ball's in your court.
Right now, Oracle can cut your current cloud bill in half if you move to OCI.

Welcome to Before Breakfast, a production of iHeartRadio.
Good morning, this is Laura.
Welcome to the Before Breakfast podcast.
Today's tip is that if there is something important you need or want to do, don't count on remembering it.
Pick a time and plan it into your schedule instead.
Over the past few months, I have run several challenges where I have people try out different strategies that can hopefully help make their days more enjoyable.
I often share the strategy and then have people brainstorm how they will build it into their lives.
I ask people to anticipate any challenges they might have with the strategy.
Then, after a week or so, I ask whether they faced any challenges in implementation.
Inevitably, one of the most common anticipated and experienced challenges is actually remembering the strategy.
Now, I get that change is hard.
So much of our time unfolds habitually, and it is hard to build a new habit when existing habits and routines are ingrained.
Most of my listeners lead really full lives, which makes it even harder to do something new.
Some challenges are truly difficult and require getting a partner's buy -in or creating more support at home or asking a manager to do something different.
But the challenge of remembering to implement a strategy or remembering to do anything, really, is much more solvable.
If you find yourself thinking that you would like to do something but that it is hard to remember, or even if you hear yourself saying, I need to remember to do such and such, just stop.
Reframe your intention.
You don't need to remember to do anything.
You can make a plan to do it, and then perhaps complement that plan with a reminder.
Then your brain is free for other things besides keeping track of all your to -dos.
So, remembering to water your plants may not go so well.
Instead, choose a time and create a recurring calendar item or set an alarm on your phone that reminds you to go water your plants.
Remembering to ask your work friend how her daughter's dance performance went may lead to you forgetting to ask about it.
But planning to ask about it could be accomplished with a calendar item or an email to your work account that you will see as soon as you open your email Monday morning, which is right before you see your friend.
Then you can be sure you will ask about the performance.
If you hear yourself talking about remembering to do something, pause and adjust your language.
Say, plan to, instead, and then adjust your approach.
Figure out when you will do the thing, and then set a specific reminder that will nudge you to do it at that time.
You don't have to remember.
Remembering is hard.
You've built out a plan with reminders, so you can be confident you will follow through on the action.
In the meantime, this is Laura.
Thanks for listening, and here's to making the most of our time.

Celebrities like Taylor Swift, Olivia Rodrigo, Anne Hathaway, and Mindy Kaling have all been spotted in the Hill House nap dress.
One of my favorite things about Hill House dresses is how versatile they are.
I can wear the same dress during the day and then head out for dinner at night without missing a beat.
Hill House Home's commitment to comfort and style doesn't stop at their dresses.
They started with bedding back in 2016, and they're printing.
