Listen to article For decades, Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems have recorded transactions and surfaced reports, relying on people to apply context and move work forward.

AI now operates within the system of record, understanding business context, applying domain expertise, and supporting action toward defined outcomes. The result is not fewer people, but greater capacity. Routine execution can move faster, allowing teams to focus on decisions that require judgment and experience.

Listen to article When working with Oracle Integration Cloud (OIC), handling large payloads is one of the most common reasons integrations become slow, unstable, or fail unexpectedly. What starts as a simple integration can quickly lead to timeout errors, memory pressure, longer execution times, and more complex troubleshooting as payload sizes grow. In many cases, the problem is not OIC itself. The real issue is the integration pattern. Large-payload processing requires a different design approach. Instead of treating it like a standard request-response flow, architects should focus on controlled data movement, staged processing, chunking, and reducing in-memory transformations. This is where selecting the right pattern can have a significant impact. Key Takeaways For large payload handling in OIC, the most effective practices are straightforward but impactful: Use pagination for larg...
