They are increasingly moving toward a hybrid cloud infrastructure as it encompasses all the technologies and support required to meet business objectives. Oracle is winning every cloud deal with its revamped next-generation cloud. Its Gen 2 is a purpose-built cloud that is developed from the ground up to run every application seamlessly, be it on bare metal or in containers. With the introduction of the Support Rewards Program, Oracle allows organizations to earn rewards for every dollar they spend on Oracle cloud infrastructure (OCI). This helps businesses to reduce their technical software license support bill.Oracle Support Rewards Program complements existing programs, including Bring-Your-Own-License (BYOL), Universal Credits (UC), Customer 2 Cloud, and expert support for migration (Oracle Cloud Lift) at minimal to no cost. Oracle Cloud Lift offers a white-glove service to support businesses design and migrate their EBS and train their staff. An E-Business Suite (EBS) client on-prem can bring their EBS license into Oracle Cloud. They can also bring their Oracle Database license and utilize the database at a lower price. In essence, Oracle is making it simple to migrate more workloads to the Oracle cloud with minimal migration costs, reduced running costs, and lower support costs--ultimately facilitating digital transformation.The modern approach to the hybrid cloud also enables businesses to proactively address the challenges of exponential data growth, privacy, security, and compliance. With its distinguished design primitives such as default encryption, high customer isolation, no downtime patching, clean host hardware, and sophisticated data protection, Oracle Gen 2 is reducing the security risks. Also, it provides businesses with the opportunity to facilitate the cloud migration process through improved performance at a considerable price. In this edition of CIO Applications, we have focused on the most prominent Oracle solution providers who have extensive knowledge and experience in helping businesses rightly implement and leverage Oracle solutions.Let us know your thoughts.Joe PhillipManaging Editoreditor@cioapplications.comJoe PhillipManaging EditorJoe PhillipSalesSebastian Jacobsebastian@cioapplications.comEmailsales@cioapplications.comeditor@cioapplications.commarketing@cioapplications.comGraphics & ArtVictor CruzEditorial StaffBen JacksonDaniel HolmesEzra BenjaminJune MichaelRose DcruzSenior WritersClara MathewLeah JaneRoyce D'Souza
