"Transforming yourself and modernizing yourself — that’s not a destination, it’s a constant journey"

"In fact, anytime you stop, your competitors are going to pass you"

"Clearly, we had an amazing start to the year because Oracle has become the go-to place for AI workloads"

"We have signed significant cloud contracts with the whos who of AI, including OpenAI, xAI, Meta, Nvidia, AMD, and many others"

"You want to make a transition like this when things are great"

"Today, Oracle is recognized as the cloud of choice for both AI training and inferencing. Im very proud of that"

"And today we’re seeing that. We’re seeing this incredible prosperity and improvement in productivity, in capability, in really meeting customer expectations and exceeding them. And that’s what we’re pushing forward with"

"Anyone who goes to the hospital or a doctor, you see that — as great as our physicians are and our nurses are and the equipment, it’s all amazing — there are still a lot of doctors typing into things and spending a lot of their time doing that instead of spending the time with the patient"

"But now we can offer a complete system that just listens to that entire interaction and records it and transcribes it and gives recommendations to the physicians — what an incredible time saver! Instead of having doctors spend time putting data into the system, you actually have the system help the physicians figure out what’s best for you"

"The reality is that industrial companies and governments and other types of large organizations are all realizing that they cannot waste resources. They have to use all of their resources to drive a better customer experience, better employee experience, and better supplier experience"

"Many of them learned that lesson during COVID,” Catz said, “but were afraid, to some extent, to move all the way in. So they started in one place, and now they’ve built that confidence and they’re going to go all the way"

"Oracles technology and business have never been stronger. And our breathtaking growth rate points to an even more prosperous future. At this time of strength is the right moment to pass the CEO role to the next generation of capable executives. Congratulations Clay and Mike"
