NEXT VALLEY VIEW: OCTOBER 24

Join us on October 24 for Valley View, our exciting live video show. In addition to a chat with Cisco CEO John Chambers, and a deep dive into an exclusive report on how technology companies spent economic stimulus money (and what the outcome of that spending was), we'll be speaking with Oracle President Mark Hurd.

Oracle recently wrapped up its annual customer conference, Oracle Open World, where it announced several new initiatives in the cloud, including a cloud-based version of its database (12c) and a new version of its Exadata appliance. We'll talk to Hurd about where Oracle is heading, and why, but we'll also talk to some of Oracle's customers -- about the new Oracle, and how it's transforming their businesses.

We'll also feature rapid fire Elevator Pitches from the following companies: Alteryx (big data analytics in the cloud), Hearsay Social (enterprise social media), and Taptera (enterprise mobile applications).
