Oracle's debt just got downgraded to one step above speculative grade while the company burns through $55.7 billion in capital spending chasing AI data centers. If your hotel runs on OPERA Cloud, the question isn't whether Oracle survives... it's what happens to your product roadmap when the bill comes due.
Oracle just quietly shed 21,000 employees. Meta is cutting another 8,000. If your sales team hasn't called every tech account on the books in the last two weeks, you're about to learn about cancellations the hard way.
