AI is rewriting the business playbook, with productivity boosts and faster decision making coming into every industry.
If you're not thinking about AI, you can bet that 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.
Minimum financial commitment and other terms apply.

Before breakfast a production of iHeart radio.
Good morning. This is Laura.
Welcome to the before breakfast podcast. Today's tip is to store things wisely.
As the seasons shift, you'll want to move seasonal things to new locations, but make sure you're taking care of your things at the same time.
Spring comes and fits and starts in my part of the world.
It takes a while before we're sure that we won't be wearing our coats anymore.
But there is a point of no return, and yet inevitably June will come and there will still be coats and hats and gloves taking up space in the mudroom.
I will also admit that sometimes I have not noticed that I'm not really wearing my sweaters anymore and I don't do anything about that fact.
And then they've wound up in pretty bad condition by the time I pull them back out of a drawer in October.
So it might help to just be a bit more intentional about this.
Choose a day when you are mostly sure the cold weather is done to move your cold weather things away from valuable real estate.
And then figure out exactly how you were going to store them.
I'm a big fan of plastic bins with locking lids for clean items. They keep spills and critters away.
Or perhaps you use garment bags or sweater boxes.
Think about where these things can go.
Many people have a closet where they put out of season stuff.
Hopefully you have some shelves in there where you can put things that you don't really need to access all that frequently.
But if your closets are all in high demand, maybe you could slide some bins under your bed and use that space too.
As much as possible, you also wanna put stuff away clean.
Check your coat pockets, wash everything, or maybe even send your sweaters to the cleaners and have them pack them up.
They will be all fresh in the fall.
Now, of course, it can be a fair amount of work to wash things and have a special container for them, so this seasonal shift can also nudge you to do some purging.
Did you ever wear that sweater this winter?
If not, you probably don't really like it.
Did you wear that second coat, or did the first one really just do the job?
Maybe you can donate the second one to someone who could use it.
You can also go through and figure out if any mittens are missing matches.
If you're not going to find those matches, the mittens aren't going to be of much use.
Best to let them go.
We don't have a whole lot of natural opportunities to go through our stuff unless we're moving.
And most people don't move all that often, thank goodness.
But many of us do experience at least some change in the seasons.
So use the occasion to think about your stuff and store what you wish to keep wisely.
It will all emerge in much better condition if you do.
In the meantime, this is Laura.
