Embracing emerging technology is a necessity in today’s competitive market environment to enable the workforce and customers to engage effectively and to elevate the potential return on the organization’s assets.

Ventana Research selected Oracle for the 17th Annual Digital Business Digital Innovation Award for its innovation in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) and ability to operate its platforms and tools on its cloud platforms and within other cloud service providers like Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud. It also has witnessed its innovation in the ISG Cloud Computing Platforms Buyers Guide where it was designated a Leader in five of the seven product and customer experience evaluation categories. The OCI product supports IaaS, PaaS and SaaS service types along with deployment models for Public, Private and Hybrid cloud services.

Only seven cloud providers offer the breadth of services and deployment models to be included in the Cloud Computing Platforms Buyers Guide.
