Another great Oracle Open World conference just wrapped up, and we have to say it did not disappoint, as tradition, our exhibitor booth was packed with our subject matter experts providing solution Demos and carrying out assessments while deep diving into discussions about the different Oracle technologies we service.
We had the chance to catch up with many of our customers in the multiple customer appreciation events we held during the OpenWorld week, including an SF Giants game, an executive dinner, a very lively happy hour and two hands-on workshops that our experts led around creating a robust software testing strategy and ensuring Oracle lift and shift success.
Our experts also held different sessions at OOW17, presenting topics related to Oracle Cloud adoption, Oracle Big Data, and Oracle Analytics.
We were also very excited to see the new solutions that Oracle unveiled during multiple Keynote speeches, among the most relevant for ITC were the Oracle Cloud announcements for the roadmap of their SaaS, PaaS and SaaS solutions, as well as the emergence of Autonomous Databases (the world’s 1st ‘self-driving’ database!) powered by Oracle Database 18c, with security automation to ensure company’s data protection.
