The Top Five Roadblocks to Cloud Integration by Carol Hildebrand

December 5, 2015 Leave a comment

 

clip_image002In the digital economy, integration is no longer a technology term—it’s a business imperative. After all, when your business strategy depends on how quickly you can analyze and act upon data, building a clear and consistent flow of information is more than just a lifestyle choice.

But it’s not simple. Information must move across myriad applications from mobile and cloud-based apps to on-premises systems. Add in factors like the explosive growth of the Internet of Things (Gartner predicts 30 billion devices by 2020), and it’s pretty safe to assume that integration requirements are only going to get more complex.

“As companies respond to demanding customer expectations and unprecedented changes in the competitive landscape, integration has become a priority on the business side as well as IT,” says Amit Zavery, Oracle’s senior vice president of development, integration products. “In fact, nearly 80 percent of respondents to a recent Computerworld survey rated ease of integration with external data and apps as a top priority.” Read the complete article here

Alternative Cloud Models for Partners

December 3, 2015 Leave a comment

clip_image002

Summary: Did you know that Oracle actually offers four different application cloud models? Use your cloud model choice to differentiate from your competition by providing a unique value proposition your competitors are not selling.
Take Action: Watch this short video then schedule a cloud model choice workshop and learn how to optimize model features and deliver a solution with greater value.

Oracle has cloud model options where partners can market end of term perpetual license rights, products not on the Oracle Cloud price list, hybrid op-ex/cap-ex structures, a “bring your own license” solution, or spread the partners upfront services costs over the solution term even while the partner recovers these fees upfront.  Take advantage of these features now to win more business.

Finance private cloud solutions at your customers

December 2, 2015 Leave a comment

 

clip_image002Create Competitive Advantage with Financing

Summary: Midsize accounts are often the most price sensitive customers, and software financing is the best sales tool for increasing solution affordability and removing closing obstacles related to budgetary, accounting treatment or internal approval issues.
Take Action: Create competitive advantage with software financing and leasing by selling a pricing and payment structure that differentiates your solution. As a best practice, proactively offer a financing proposal and create a competitive trap.

Partner can use financing to:

  • match solution cost to project deployment and ROI stream
  • create an operating expense solution
  • change an account’s internal approval path
  • spread the partner’s implementation fees

Oracle PaaS, a racecar placed at pole position by Leon Smiers

December 1, 2015 Leave a comment

 

clip_image001With the announcement on June 22nd of Larry Ellison around Oracle SaaS, PaaS and IaaS we are left with the question, where are we now in Oracle PaaS and what can we expect the coming year(s)? 
Oracle is moving at a rapid pace from an ‘on-premise’ software/hardware provider to everything-contained-in-the-cloud; and is now embracing the Cloud. There is some humor in it since not so long ago back in 2009, Larry was still bashing the cloud, as being water vapor. "All it is, is a computer attached to a network…”. Up until 2013, the large yearly conference, Oracle Open World was dominated with Larry’s hobby, covering Oracle hardware EXA machines, and making them run faster with every release. But last year we began to see the first outlines of what Oracle really planned to do in the cloud. And, as always, if Oracle has set their mind on something, every means available are set in place to reach that goal. In my direct contacts with the Process Cloud team, 70% of that specific team was dedicated to put BPM in the cloud.
All middleware and database related software, that we are accustomed to run ‘on-premise’ at our customers, will now be made available in the cloud. This, of course, is not an overnight job. The first releases of the PaaS Cloud will contain base functionality, as Larry phrased it ‘I’m not saying we have no things to be improved. The beauty of the Cloud is that, since Oracle is responsible for the environments, releases with new / improved functionality will be made available at a faster pace. One outstanding feature compared to the on-premise software is the simplicity of using the product. The product development team has moved a lot of complexity to the background, enabling speed for development and deployment. Another advantage for partners and customers is that flaws in the software are now also obvious to Oracle themselves in a much faster manner than we were used to with the on-premise stack. So apart from the movement towards the cloud, Oracle is now also dedicating their time to improving quality of the software. Read the complete article here.

Key take-aways from the Oracle PaaS Cloud announcements – Integrate, Accelerate, Lead by Lucas Jellema

December 1, 2015 Leave a comment

 

clip_image002Monday June 22nd was the launch date for Oracle for 24 (and more) Cloud Services. June is traditionally an important month for Oracle when it comes to product launches and important announcements. This year is the same in that respect. The announcements came in a many-hour live webcast including a 45 minute presentation by Oracle CTO Larry Ellison (see videos from Oracle Cloud Platform Launch). I have harvested some of the most relevant slides from this presentation – that capture the essence from his announcements (or at least the things that stood out to me).

See some other relevant resources regarding these announcements:
