Oracle is the Cloud Company
MUMBAI, April 6, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --
On the Heels of Announcing an Incremental and Dedicated Cloud Sales Team in India,
Oracle India Hosts its Third Annual Global CloudWorld Mumbai
Oracle India today announced that it is witnessing unprecedented demand for its cloud
solutions in the country. Oracle's Software as a Service (SaaS) business has seen the
highest and fastest adoption rate till date, with Platform as a Service (Paas) close
behind. This can be attributed to the company's best-of-breed SaaS applications which are
integrated with social, mobile, and analytic capabilities to help companies deliver the
experiences they expect, the talent to succeed, and the performance the market demands.
Over the last few years, Oracle has acquired several hundred cloud customers in India,
all using different Oracle Cloud solutions. Nearly 50 percent of its SaaS customers are
net new. The Oracle Customer Experience Cloud (Oracle CX Cloud), which includes Oracle
Sales Cloud, Oracle Service Cloud, Oracle Marketing Cloud, and Oracle Social Cloud, had
the highest uptake in customer adoption and accounts for more than 50 percent of the
company's SaaS customer base.
Oracle Human Capital Management Cloud (Oracle HCM Cloud) customers constituted 32
percent of the SaaS customer base, while the remaining included customers using ERP in the
cloud or PaaS, among others.
Oracle is the world's second largest SaaS company and the only cloud service provider
to offer breadth and depth of cloud solutions across SaaS, PaaS, Infrastructure as a
Service (IaaS) and Data as a Service (DaaS). In India, Oracle Cloud solutions are helping
Indian enterprises, large and midsize, to confidently embrace the cloud and use it to
support their business transformation initiatives. Some of Oracle's cloud customers
include Birlasoft Limited, iGate Global Solutions, Indiabulls, Kotak Life Insurance,
Pearson India, PolicyBazaar.com, PVR Cinemas Ltd., Reliance Commercial Finance, Thomas
Cook India Ltd. among others.
"We are upbeat about the momentum in cloud. The growth in this business is happening
faster than our expectation. Oracle Cloud offers the broadest, most complete, and the most
integrated set of cloud offerings in the industry. It's a great time to be at Oracle and
be part of the cloud business team - whether you are an employee, a customer, a developer
or a partner," said Shailender Kumar, Managing Director, Oracle India.
Oracle also unveiled its strategy to grow its cloud business in India, including
hiring a dedicated sales force to only sell cloud solutions; signing-up and training new
partners to make them cloud ready; and leveraging Oracle's renewed focus on geo-expansion
and public sector areas to expand the market and drive growth for cloud.
"The Oracle Cloud portfolio offers the necessary foundation: it is comprehensive,
flexible, and scalable, to quickly bring services to the market. With applications
covering every function of modern business, Oracle's applications truly are best of breed,
optimized for the cloud, and transformed for the digital economy. This has helped us to
evolve into a modern cloud vendor that is prepared to meet any challenges that our
customers face. We are seeing tremendous momentum in industries like professional
services, e-commerce, start-ups, industrial manufacturing, engineering & construction,
financial services and automotive," added Niraj Kaushik, Vice President-Applications,
Oracle India.
As part of the company's program to drive cloud business, Oracle India will be hosting
Oracle CloudWorld 2015 on April 7th in Mumbai. The conference is being sponsored by Oracle
partners - Wipro, Birlasoft, Deloitte, Speridian Technologies, and ADI Strategies. During
the event, thought leaders from Oracle and other leading organisations are expected to
share insights on how best to leverage cloud technologies to drive transformational
change.
