ORACLE NEXT. IDEAS. EXECUTED.
You have a motivation to change. You want to innovate. You have ideas. But an idea unexecuted is a waste. An Idea should be shared, validated, built and at least tested. If the idea is viable, then it has to make it to market. And that idea must, of course, meet a need. So Innovation is an idea executed in the market.
ORACLE NEXT. IDEAS. EXECUTED.
Oracle NEXT is about taking your ideas all the way through to execution. Imagine if we could take your idea and build a prototype with business justification in 10 weeks or less – this is Oracle NEXT. We combine Ideation, Strategy and Agile Prototyping into a simple, end-to-end offer. It bridges the gap between idea generation and execution.
HOW DO WE WORK?
We frame. We ideate. We share. We build. We test. We scale.
Oracle NEXT uses our innovation methodology – called IDEA, coupled with an agile development capability for producing real prototypes and strategy expertise to create the business case. Using a diverse set of skills, we are able identify your clear and motivating business challenge. We then jointly ideate and take the output so that it can be shared, validated and quickly built into a prototype or minimum viable product. This MVP can be tested on a small scale to provide measurable feedback and results, and if desired, scaled to full production.
IT’S ALL IN THE BLEND
To ‘frame and ideate’ we blend our business innovators and modellers with your team. Together, we produce viable ideas and innovation proposals. We always seek to work with you, rather than for you. We then build at pace using our developers who are familiar with agile methodologies, the latest in UI design, DevOps and of course our unique set of Cloud capabilities.
All prototyping is done on Oracle Cloud, so both the Oracle NEXT team and your developers, designers and architects can experiment and build together on the same Digital platform and tools. Of course, if we need to connect the prototype to whatever you have in your existing IT landscape we are happy to address this too, with the same speed and excitement. We act as one blended team with one goal: to execute an idea that has business impact.
MAKING AGILE PART OF YOUR DNA
Agility means allowing the freedom to learn, to explore, and to find the best way of doing things – at speed. At Oracle NEXT we love to work in sprints where we jointly set goals, review progress, and adapt our trajectory accordingly. Weekly sprints are the way we plan and execute engagements, as they are long enough to make real progress, but short enough to help stay focused; and it also makes it easy for everybody to plan and understand. And by weekly sprints we mean 4 days (either Monday to Thursday, or Tuesday to Friday) spent on-topic and working together.
HOW CAN ORACLE NEXT HELP YOU?
By working in an innovation centric, agile way you can prove your ideas actually work. No more random acts of innovation, instead you can conduct innovation at scale and make innovation part of your enterprise DNA. Oracle NEXT offers a low-risk way of proving innovation. The business case we help you build will equip you with tangible, measurable examples of Digital business that support your strategic Digital transformation. You can use the MVP and business case together to secure funding to scale the MVP and bring your ideas to market and produce even more. It is also a practical way to embed agile into your company culture and operations.
The agile approach of Oracle NEXT provides an opportunity for your employees to be involved throughout the project, from prioritising features to iteration planning and review sessions to frequent software builds containing new features.
