Oracle Corporation (Oracle) provides products and services that address enterprise information technology (IT) needs.
The company’s products and services include enterprise applications and infrastructure offerings that are delivered worldwide through a variety of flexible and interoperable IT deployment models. These models include on-premises, cloud-based, and hybrid deployments. It is an important element of the company’s corporate strategy to provide choice and flexibility to Oracle customers regarding when and how they deploy Oracle applications and infrastructure technologies.
Oracle Cloud Applications (OCA) and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI, collectively with OCA, Oracle Cloud Services) offerings provide comprehensive and integrated applications and infrastructure services, enabling the company’s customers to choose the best option that meets their specific business needs. Oracle Cloud Services integrate IT components in a cloud-based IT environment that Oracle deploys and manages for customers and is accessible by utilizing common web browsers via a broad spectrum of devices.
Oracle Cloud Services are designed to be rapidly deployable to enable customers shorter time to innovation; intuitive for casual and experienced users; easily maintainable to reduce upgrade, integration and testing work; connectable among differing deployment models to enable interoperability and extensibility to easily move workloads among the Oracle Cloud and other IT environments; cost-effective by lowering upfront customer investments and implementing usage-based resource consumption costs; and highly secure, standards-based and reliable.
Oracle cloud license and on-premise license deployment offerings include Oracle Applications, Oracle Database and Oracle Middleware software offerings, among others, which customers deploy using IT infrastructure from the Oracle Cloud or their own IT environments. Substantially all customers opt to purchase license support contracts when they purchase an Oracle license.
Oracle hardware products include Oracle Engineered Systems, servers, storage and industry-specific products, among others. Customers generally opt to purchase hardware support contracts when they purchase Oracle hardware products.
Oracle also offers professional services to assist the company’s customers and partners to maximize the performance of their investments in Oracle products and services.
The company’s customers include businesses of many sizes, government agencies, educational institutions and resellers that it markets and sells to directly through its worldwide sales force or indirectly through the Oracle Partner Network.
The company’s investments in, and innovation with respect to, Oracle products and services that it offers through its three businesses (cloud and license, hardware, and services businesses, described further below) are another important element of its corporate strategy. The company has a deep understanding of how applications and infrastructure technologies interact and function with one another, including using OCI to power its OCA, which the company and its customers use to run internal business processes. The company focuses its development efforts on improving the performance, security, reliability, operation, and integration of its offerings relative to its competitors; facilitating the ease with which organizations are able to deploy, use, manage, and maintain its offerings; and incorporating emerging technologies, such as AI, within its offerings to enable leaner business processes, automation, and innovation.
