With such extensive functionality across business processes, customers can solve their business problems with complete solutions that give them end-to-end execution and complete visibility.

Oracle IaaS is clearly differentiated, being far more performant, more secure, more reliable and cost efficient as compared to others in the market. Oracle has fundamentally innovated in the IaaS space and continues to gain market share aggressively. Oracle PaaS is anchored by Oracle Autonomous Database (ADB), which offers the most innovative “self-driving” capabilities in the data tier in the marketplace. Combine with ADB, Oracle cloud also offers a complete application development platform that includes app dev, security, integration, identity management, analytics, big data and AI/ML among other far broader capabilities.
