Oracle today announced that they are considering widespread adoption of the Cloud Marketplace in India. Companies like Helpage India, Siemens, Kotak Bank, Reliance Finance and many more companies are now using the Oracle Cloud Marketplace.
The explosive growth of cloud, mobile, and social technologies is driving the need for organizations to increase faster and easier access to innovative and trusted business applications. To address this need, Oracle launched the Oracle Cloud Marketplace at Oracle OpenWorld 2013. Oracle is the first organization to have created a ground-breaking enterprise app store, the Oracle Cloud Marketplace. It is the corporate equivalent to consumer-oriented app stores such as Google Play and Apple App Store.
Oracle Cloud Marketplace features hundreds of business applications developed by Oracle partners, and enables Oracle Cloud customers to easily browse, evaluate, and license trusted business applications. Oracle Cloud Marketplace also allows customers to find a wide range of systems integrators and services to meet their exclusive needs.
Featuring more than 100 business applications developed by Oracle partners, the Oracle Cloud Marketplace enables Oracle Cloud customers to easily browse, evaluate, and buy trusted business applications. It is a one-of-a-kind app store for enterprises.
Oracle is uniquely positioned to accelerate time to value and drive out complexity by designing, engineering, and testing our market leading software and hardware to work together, in the (public/private) cloud and in customer’s (on-premise) datacenters. Cloud Marketplace partners can leverage the industry’s most complete and best in class Cloud Stack at every layer, from Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS), and Applications-as-a-Service (SaaS).
Partners also take advantage of Oracle’s flexible offerings to provide customer choice for their Cloud deployment models (Public, Private, Hybrid), allowing customers to leverage their investments in open industry standards without being locked into proprietary technologies and cloud stack.
The Oracle Cloud Marketplace is a great opportunity for partners and customers to connect on a single platform. Oracle partners can leverage the latest in cloud technologies to grow their businesses and it also enables them to quickly and easily develop, integrate, publish, and monetize their applications. With the Oracle Cloud Marketplace, Oracle’s extensive ecosystem of 400,000 customers, 25,000 partners, and 15 million community developers can foster and cultivate an environment of shared innovation.
