Organizations look to Oracle Cloud for transforming into digital-first businesses

Oracle’s Cloud offerings deliver the broadest selection of enterprise-grade cloud computing solutions, including SaaS, PaaS, and IaaS and is thus witnessing an increased demand from customers who have entrusted their mission-critical businesses to the Oracle Cloud as it comes embedded with emerging technologies like AI, Chatbots and IoT. Ritesh Sayal, Head - Alliances & Channels, Oracle India in a chat with VARINDIA shares how cloud continues to be a big priority for Oracle and a cloud-based strategy is earning Oracle several customers that are looking for hyper-growth - 

India has emerged as the fastest growing economy in the world, with the country’s GDP estimated to have increased 6.6 per cent in 2017-18, which is further expected to grow 7.3 per cent in 2018-19. There is a massive transformation happening in the industry - the digital revenue has grown from 14% to 20% and is further expected to cross 25% by 2020 where software and hardware from different vendors and standards will coexist.

With more and more Indian companies looking to transform into digital-first businesses, the move to cloud is becoming increasingly appealing. With Internet being the biggest gamechanger, organizations are in the middle of a generational shift with computing heavily moving from traditional software deployment models to the cloud. Indian companies are more bullish on cloud than some of their peers in other APAC markets.

“AI/ML, Blockchain and Chatbot adoption continues to be on the rise. From Oracle’s perspective, we believe that the future of IT is autonomous cloud. We are advancing the capabilities of our customers to be ready for the autonomous era, with advanced security as a prerequisite,” says Ritesh Sayal, Head - Alliances & Channels, Oracle India.

He further adds, “We are witnessing increased demand for our modern and secure enterprise-grade cloud offerings in India. Companies across industries, irrespective of their size, are moving to Oracle cloud for hyper-growth.”

A big focus on Cloud

Cloud continues to be the key priority for Oracle. “Oracle cloud is the only, true enterprise-grade cloud in the market today. Oracle is the industry’s only seamlessly integrated cloud that’s complete (end-to-end), open (based on open standards), modern (all software rewritten for the cloud economy) and fully secure (multi-tier security),” says Ritesh.

Ritesh further says that Oracle can support a customer’s journey to the cloud from any starting point (Applications, Platform, Infrastructure, on-premise setup), unlike other IaaS only or SaaS only cloud providers. Oracle Cloud powers thousands of customers in 175 countries, processes 61 billion transactions per day and manages 1075+ petabytes of data.
