Oracle Cloud Platform Transform Your Business with Innovation
Focus of the PaaS Partner Community Forum 2019 will be the Oracle Cloud Platform to transform the business, of our joint customer base, with innovation. Key accomplishment, driven by you as a partner and resulting in cloud utilization, are successful cloud projects. Successful customers grow their Oracle cloud footprint and purchase additional consulting services. With the Oracle Cloud Platform you can proof innovation, in a rapid prototype. The cloud test drive material, is available via Github, is a blueprint for your workshops. Access to the latest cloud services is an essential part of the sales cycle. Trained and certified partners are the road to success. Each conference attendee was granted access to free PaaS demo service before, during and after the conferences. As an Oracle partner you can request free PaaS demo services via demo.oracle.com or our partner communities any time – make use of it!
Oracle PaaS creates many new opportunities for partners to build, customize and integrate applications in a public cloud environment. Our joint customers will benefit from this new cloud offering by faster time to market, higher availability and flexibility, lower project cost and risks. Universal cloud credits (UCCs) empower partners to deploy customer projects agile. Hybrid cloud computing offers like Helidon and Project FN are a unique value proposition for customer and partners. You can choose where to host and manage your cloud solution in the data center of your choice. Cloud marketplace gives you as a partner new opportunities to build, deploy and promote and market offerings on the Oracle PaaS Cloud. The Oracle Cloud Excellence Implementer (CIE) and Oracle Cloud Managed Service Provider (MSP) programs reflect the focus on cloud computing.
To innovate, extend and integrate SaaS initiative is designed for Oracle applications partners. The underlying PaaS platform enables customers to enrich and differentiate SaaS solutions. Connect SaaS solutions with other SaaS solutions and on-premises, analyze data, secure and extend applications. As part of the conference we introduced a SaaS track on Monday, multiple session and a two days hands-on training are offered specifically for SaaS partners to enrich SaaS solutions with PaaS.
During this event you will see presentations from Product Management, Pre-Sales Consultants and Partners, that will share their real life experiences with you how to implement Oracle PaaS solutions and to see the business drivers behind these projects.
