Hi and welcome to episode 191 of The ERP Minute. I’m your host, Rebekah McCabe.
Oracle announced fiscal 2025 Q4 and full-year 2025 results. Total quarterly revenues were up 11% year-over-year to $15.9 billion. Cloud services and license support revenues were up 14% to $11.7 billion. Q4 NetSuite Cloud ERP revenue was up 18% year-over-year to $1 billion. Full year 2025 total revenue was $57.4 billion, up 8% year-over-year. Once again, Oracle has delivered impressive results, supporting continued growth and momentum in the software space.
Salesforce unveiled the Summer ’25 release, a comprehensive update designed to help businesses boost efficiency by integrating intelligent AI agents alongside human employees. The Summer ’25 release includes hundreds of new capabilities of Agentforce, Salesforce’s digital labor solution for deploying AI agents across any business function. The release also includes product enhancements and industry-tailored solutions aimed at creating richer customer experiences. The top five Agentforce updates include Agentforce for employee use cases, Agent Surfaces for richer experiences through agent responses with visuals and media, web search in Agentforce Data Library, multimodal support, and instruction adherence to allow admins and developers to easily detect an agent’s adherence to its topic and instructions with AI-generated scoring. Additional highlights include updates to Sales Cloud with Pipeline Management, Sales Coaching’s, and Sales Development Enhancements, updates to Data Cloud with AI tagging and classification, policy-based governance, unstructured connectivity enhancements, and zero copy framework, and updates to Industries with Agentforce for Education: Student Recruitment, Agentforce for Financial Services: Banking Service Assistance, Agentforce for Life Sciences: Clinical Site Management, and Agentforce for Public Sector: Complaints. Salesforce is delivering even more to their user base with this release, finding even more ways to deliver value through AI, data tools, and industry specialization.
Finally, Qlik announced a series of new capabilities for customers of Databricks, the Data and AI company, built on Databricks Data Intelligence Platform. These enhancements give data teams greater flexibility across open formats, improve operational performance with Delta and Iceberg data, and accelerate the path to trusted, AI-ready architectures, without compromising Databricks-native governance or performance. New capabilities include real-time data streaming to Databricks uniform tables via CDC, an adaptive Iceberg optimization to handle compactions, partitioning, and pruning, AI-ready data products, and Spark-Aware Studio roadmap enhancements through new developer-focused capabilities. Qlik is making data insights more accessible to businesses, not only making data easier to analyze but also making the tools easier for developers to use.
