Oracle Japan's Proposed Transformation to 'Mission-Critical AI' and Corporate Data Strategy
Tomomitsu Misawa, President of Oracle Japan, gave a lecture on a new strategy regarding corporate AI utilization. While many companies are currently exploring how to incorporate AI into their operations, Mr. Misawa emphasized that clarifying the objective—specifically, 'what you aim to achieve using AI'—is of the utmost importance.
Of particular note during the lecture was the transformation toward 'Mission-Critical AI.' This is the concept of integrating a company's core data systems (Systems of Record) with AI to build an efficient data platform. Through this, the aim is to create an environment where AI functions not merely as a tool, but as the core of the business.
Mr. Misawa also touched upon the response to 'sovereignty.' This is a concept for ensuring that companies can securely manage their own data and avoid over-reliance on external environments. For companies in Japan in particular, leveraging AI while protecting data security and sovereignty will be a major challenge that determines future competitiveness.
This announcement has provided a concrete roadmap for Japanese companies considering the adoption of AI. Moving forward, the trends regarding what kind of data platforms many companies will build and how they will utilize AI in their businesses are being closely watched.
