Five Ideas: Cloud Computing

Preparing for Oracle Cloud Builder Summit

Starting this month, Oracle began hosting Oracle Cloud Builder Summit's across the globe, teaching customers how they can build an enterprise cloud environment—in only two hours. Here, learn more about when you can attend a summit near you. Plus find out about Oracle's solutions for both private and public clouds, and customers that are already using the power of Oracle's cloud computing technology to drive their businesses forward.

“Utilizing a private cloud is a good middle ground between placing assets in a public cloud, where you don't have much security or control, versus doing everything on your own. Our shift to a cloud model, SaaS [software as a service], and managed services are the newest services available to our members.” —Mike Garris, executive director Local Government Information Systems

“Having better composite statistics about the skills you have in-house can help you better staff new projects and reengineer business processes. Companies can build talent, rather than buy it, which is always the most expensive approach.” —Jason Blessing, senior vice president of products and technology for Oracle Taleo cloud-based talent management solutions

“Oracle Cloud gives customers a complete, end-to-end cloud solution—e.g., SaaS applications for business users, and a rich PaaS platform for developers—to ensure those businesses get the best value for their investment with more speed and better economics than any one competitor or patchwork of cloud competitors can match.” —Bob Evans, senior vice-president of communications for Oracle

“Oracle is the only company that can provide the depth and breadth of cloud solutions—spanning applications, middleware, and database. That means only Oracle offers the choice and flexibility that comes with complete portability of applications and users between on premises and cloud.” —Tyler Jewell, vice president of product management and strategy at Oracle
