Oracle rebuilt Java licensing around headcount, not usage. AI rebuilt the economics of compute around consumption at a scale most enterprises never planned for. Put those two shifts together and you get a boardroom conversation most executive teams have not had yet, at least not with real numbers on the table.

We put it all in one place. “The Java Question Nobody on Your Board Is Asking” is a field guide for CEOs, CFOs, CIOs, CPOs and CTOs navigating Oracle Java in the age of AI. It is the companion piece to this roundtable, and every registered delegate receives a copy ahead of the event.

What’s inside
92% of Java professionals say they are concerned about Oracle’s pricing, and 73% have gone through an Oracle Java audit in the past three years.
At 43% of Java-using organizations, JVM workloads account for more than half of total cloud compute spend, yet only 16% of CFOs currently treat runtime optimization as a cost lever.

Among organizations that completed a migration off Oracle Java, 84% said it went as planned or was easier than expected.
This is not a technology briefing. It’s a governance conversation, and it belongs at your table.
