Description of the CloudWorld 2024 Interview with Stephanie Trunzo
In this insightful CloudWorld 2024 interview, Stephanie Trunzo, Senior Vice President of Oracle Industries, joins hosts Fritz Nelson and Kendall Fier to unpack the major themes from Mike Sicilia’s Industry Keynote and Oracle’s latest innovations across vertical markets. Trunzo emphasizes how industries today are no longer isolated silos but interconnected ecosystems, all powered by Oracle’s comprehensive industry solutions and applied AI.
Trunzo explains how Oracle technology touches millions of people every day—from checking into hotels to making purchases on the Las Vegas Strip, where nearly 98% of operations run on Oracle. She shares powerful real-world stories illustrating just how deeply Oracle supports “our customers’ customers,” enabling seamless, consumer-grade experiences across retail, hospitality, healthcare, communications, energy, and more.
A major highlight is Oracle’s transformative work in AI for healthcare, including the Oracle Clinical Digital Assistant, which uses generative AI and natural language processing to reduce physician burnout, eliminate repetitive data entry, and bring humanity back into the patient–doctor interaction. Trunzo also details how AI is being applied across industries—from automating manual tasks at companies like Skydance Animation to enhancing safety in construction through predictive vision AI that can detect and prevent incidents before they occur.
The conversation dives deep into the meaning of Applied AI—Oracle’s approach of embedding industry-specific AI capabilities directly into applications so businesses can benefit instantly, without needing data science expertise. Trunzo highlights cross-industry AI use cases, such as combining weather data, retail trends, and construction planning to personalize customer experiences—like predicting when a cold rush may drive consumers from a coffee shop to a nearby boutique.
The interview also references Oracle’s “Art of the Possible” scenario featuring ADI, where AI-driven personalization boosts hospitality, retail, and dining engagement through real-time insights, promotions, and contextual experiences.
Throughout the discussion, Trunzo underscores Oracle’s holistic AI strategy—one that empowers organizations with connected data, intelligent industry applications, and the ability to layer in proprietary insights for even more precise business outcomes. From saving lives on construction sites to transforming healthcare workflows and elevating every customer touchpoint, Oracle’s industry-first approach to AI is reshaping the future of enterprise technology.
