Oracle has revealed the startups taking part in its Bristol-based Oracle Startup Cloud Accelerator Programme, including Snap Tech, LettUs Grow We Build Bots, Sauce and GapSquare.
The diverse set of companies will be able to take advantage of collaborations with other businesses in the cloud space, as well as each other. They will be mentored by both Oracle engineers, technical teams and business experts, be able to make use of a co-working space and build their own opportunities by coming into contact with Oracle customers, partners and investors.
Visual search business Snap Tech offers consumers the tools to find exactly what they're looking to buy via visual search, AI, and machine learning, matching searches with the products online retailers have to offer.
LettUs Grow is a completely different kind of technology, helping vertical farms implement irrigation and control technologies, while We Build Bots' IntelAgent has been designed for contact centre agents, offering a collaboration-led customer service platform built upon AI and analytics.
Sauce's cloud-based video collaboration platform is reinventing video content for businesses, encouraging businesses to generate engaging content from a wide variety of sources.
The final business entering Oracle's accelerator programme is Gapsquare, which seeks to eradicate gender pay gaps by analysing data and generating data-driven recommendations for change.
“The startups in Bristol continue to raise the bar for global cloud innovation, and we are proud to welcome a select group of five to our second cohort,” said Reggie Bradford, senior vice president, Startup Ecosystem and Accelerator.
“Following the success of our initial cohort in Bristol, we will continue to leverage our cloud expertise, leading cloud products, and global network to support their rapid growth.”
Previous businesses taking part in Oracle's Startup Cloud Accelerator programme include Interactive Scientific, Duel, GRAKN.AI, iGeolise and Trail. The company also has similar programmes running in Austin, Bangalore, Bristol, Delhi–NCR, Mumbai, Paris, São Paulo, Singapore and Tel Aviv, helping startups around the world develop their cloud-based apps and services with the business and technical support of a tech giant.

Public cloud adoption will continue to go up and up – but as hybrid initiatives go up with them, concerns persist over how to handle cloud migration challenges.
That’s the key finding from the latest study by VIAVI Solutions. The IT and network testing provider, in its most recent State of the Network Global Study, polled more than 600 IT professionals and found more than half (56%) of enterprises polled had made the leap to public cloud as of this year. This number is set to go up to 72% by 2020.
By 2020, more enterprises plan to run a larger percentage of their apps in the cloud. As of this year, 62% of firms polled say only up to a quarter of their apps are cloud-based. By 2020, this number is set to dip to 28%, with 44% saying they have between a quarter and half of their apps in the cloud. More than a quarter (28%) of those polled said they expected at least half of their apps to be cloud-based in two years – a number which is only at 11% today.
Yet while these figures all look impressive, it is akin to the duck analogy – serene on top but paddling like hell underneath. Two thirds (65%) of those polled said their network team was responsible for troubleshooting cloud issues, compared with 24% who said they weren’t.
As VIAVI puts it, this translates as a disconnect between IT and business; if IT are fighting fires post-migration, then the chances are they weren’t around pre-migration, as the move may have been decided by a specific business unit. More than half (52%) said their biggest problem was determining whether problems were caused by the network, the application, or the system – by some distance the most frequently cited issue.
In terms of what needs to be done, the company suggests four key takeaways; adopting a ‘cloud by default’ approach; ensure engineers have as much visibility into the organisation’s SaaS offerings as possible; get visibility for the full application journey, from the user, to the cloud and the data centre, and get remote user intelligence on board.
“Based on this year’s State of the Network, you’ve really got to feel for enterprise IT teams. They’re losing control of infrastructure and services that are migrating to the cloud, while simultaneously supporting employees who may be working anywhere, and yet remain on the hook to maintain performance and resolve issues,” said Douglas Roberts, VIAVI enterprise and cloud business unit VP and GM. “They need solutions to increase their scope of visibility and speed of response, as well as smarter analytics.”

Today’s AI cannot create an algorithm that satisfies a human’s intent in all but the simplest cases. What we do have is AI that can divine insights from patterns in large data sets.
If we can boil down algorithms into such data sets, then we can make some headway. For example, if an AI-based application has access to a vast number of human-created workflows, then it can make a pretty good guess as to the next step in a workflow you might be working on at the moment.
In other words, we now have autocomplete for algorithms – what we call ‘next best action.’ We may still have to give our software some idea of how we want an application to behave, but AI can assist us in figuring out the steps that make it work.
