Why Move to the Oracle Cloud

Oracle helps customers develop strategic roadmaps and advance their journey to the cloud from any point: new cloud deployments, legacy environments, and hybrid implementations. Oracle's complete, integrated approach makes it easy for companies to get started in the cloud and even easier to expand as business grows.

Oracle's application suite, platform, and infrastructure leverage both the latest technologies and emerging ones—including artificial intelligence (AI), platform automation, machine learning, blockchain, and Internet of Things (IoT)—in ways that create business differentiation at lower costs, higher performance, and advantages for customers.

Oracle Cloud Platform enables developers, IT professionals, and business leaders to develop, extend, connect, and secure cloud applications, share data, and gain insights across applications and devices. Now with a self-driving, self-repairing, and self-securing cloud platform, companies can innovate faster, increase productivity, lower costs, and benefit from enhanced security features with the most complete and open platform as a service (PaaS) offerings. Oracle Cloud Platform offers the same capabilities in the cloud and on premises for the greatest choice and most flexible access.

Oracle's infrastructure as a service (IaaS) capabilities enable companies to run any workload in the cloud, helping to increase business value and productivity. Oracle Cloud Infrastructure encompasses compute, storage, network, container services, and more, including migration tools that simplify how organizations migrate on-premises workloads to the cloud.

Oracle's complete cloud application suite allows businesses of all sizes to connect their companywide operations anytime, anywhere, and from any device. Modern best practices and data-driven intelligence are built into the applications. Customers can subscribe to more than a thousand software as a service (SaaS) applications, including enterprise resource planning, enterprise performance management, supply chain management, human capital management, and customer experience. Oracle's enterprise applications support all types of cloud scenarios, allowing customers to connect to other cloud services and integrate with existing systems.

Oracle is developing capabilities in AI, machine learning, augmented reality, blockchain, IoT, and human interface technologies, all of which are designed to let customers take advantage of the latest technology advances and develop their own innovative products and services.

A pioneer in IoT platforms, Oracle is using enterprise AI in conjunction with IoT to help customers manage physical assets and boost employee productivity. Blockchain is being used in areas such as customer loyalty, procurement, and identity management.

Continued technological advances are always on the horizon. Oracle invests heavily in research and development: US$6.2 billion in FY 2017.

Once again, more adverts. WTF? I think to myself what a cluster f**k you boys are looking over.....

OP what are you smoking! There is no oracle cloud other than in your and LE’s drug induced dreams!

"Oracle's complete, integrated approach"

This has been Oracle's claim for many years. Words are cheap and actions demonstrate something very different -- like how acquisitions of many companies that never really became integrated, a promise of a single platform of Fusion apps that never materialized or worked well.

"Oracle is developing capabilities..."

The key word here is "developing". Like how it has been developing a complete, integrated approach -- but one that doesn't work, is based on bloated, legacy technology and is aimed at customer lock-in. Oracle's strategy for years has been to be a follower and to jump into a market once others prove it out. That has worked for them because they were able to acquire their way into the market. However, with Cloud that option isn't available because they can't afford to buy Amazon, Microsoft, Google or IBM.

"companies can...lower costs"

Until Oracle's legal/audit team comes along and demands millions of dollars claiming that the customer is out of compliance. That typically comes about by changing licensing terms (e.g. claiming that virtualization means that Oracle needs to be licensed across the entire datacenter or doubling the license cost if not running on Oracle Cloud). While Oracle's software can help a company lower costs, customers have figured out that the competition increasingly has software that is even better and that they don't want to do business with a corporation like Oracle that has derived its culture from narcissists like LE or MH.

It's amazing how marketing can make something so awful sound amazing.

This thread brought to you by Autonomous Make Oracle Great Again Cloud.

dear OP: have you realized this is a layoff site?

oh, wait, I got it.

sorry.

you are saying that given the autonomous cloud apps (still to be available, but fo course it is matter of days, and they will work flawlessy) now Oracle can layoff all people and replace with autonomous cloud bot. ouch, that's really a bad news, thank you for sharing.

btw, this is the Oracle market share in the cloud

ouch, loosing shares in a growing market, that's interesting, but of course this must be part of the genius plan from Mr H, since he is a genius he cannot be wrong.

The marketing guy is back. Really, you will do better to advertise Oracle elsewhere. Everyone on this board already knows the truth.

Q: Why Move to the Oracle Cloud?

A: You don’t.

LOL

Sounds great doesn't it. Probably too good to be true. Sudden Oracle perfection? Not likely.
