Accenture becomes the first cloud managed
service provider across Oracle’s Public Cloud
Accenture (NYSE:ACN) and Oracle (NYSE:ORCL) have announced that
infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) offerings will now be available
through the Accenture Oracle Business Group, adding to the
already-existing software-as-a-service (SaaS) and
platform-as-a-service (PaaS) capabilities. The expansion of
capabilities further positions Accenture as Oracle’s largest global
systems integrator (GSI) and a leader in Oracle Public Cloud.
The Accenture Oracle Business Group was launched in April 2015
to deliver industry-specific solutions built on the Oracle Public
Cloud that help clients with their digital transformation goals,
realize the benefits of the cloud faster and help reduce risk.
Following an initial focus on the public, financial and hospitality
services sectors, the combined business group has grown to support
federal, insurance, health, higher education, oil and gas, and
utilities industries. The extension to IaaS now means that the
robust set of industry solutions will be available across a
comprehensive cloud suite of offerings, including both Oracle and
non-Oracle workloads.
“Oracle is expanding their cloud capabilities at an impressive
pace, and we are pleased to now provide joint clients with a
complete suite of offerings and industry solutions through the
Accenture Oracle Business Group,” said Paul Daugherty, Accenture’s
chief technology officer. “The addition of new IaaS offerings
reflects our ongoing commitment to help clients achieve value
through Oracle’s cloud solutions and solidifies Accenture’s
position as the first managed services provider for Oracle’s cloud
portfolio.”
“The growth of the Accenture Oracle Business Group showcases the
continued strength of our more than two decade relationship with
Accenture,” said Thomas Kurian, president of Product Development,
Oracle. “Oracle is excited to announce Accenture as the first
partner in our new Cloud Managed Service Provider Program. We look
forward to Accenture’s ongoing role as a leading service provider
for migration, implementation and managed services within Oracle’s
Public Cloud to help mutual clients on their journey to the
cloud.”
With the addition of IaaS to the Accenture Oracle Business
Group, Accenture has launched the following offerings:
- Accenture migration services factory
for Oracle IaaS
- Accenture database performance lab for
Oracle IaaS
- Accenture managed services for Oracle
Public Cloud (across SaaS, PaaS and IaaS)
Accenture will also be migrating several of its Oracle offerings
to Oracle IaaS and delivering them through the Accenture Oracle
Business Group. The offerings will be supported on Oracle IaaS and
include Accenture Enterprise Services for Government, Accenture
Foundation Platform for Oracle and Accenture Life Sciences
Cloud.
Accenture has been widely recognized by analyst firms as a
leading Oracle implementation and managed services GSI. With this
extension to IaaS, Accenture has achieved the prominent position of
a top Oracle services provider across Oracle’s cloud portfolio –
spanning SaaS, PaaS, and IaaS (including Oracle Cloud Machine).
The Accenture Oracle Business Group has been especially
successful in its inaugural year with more than 70 clients added.
The growth of the combined business group strongly positions the
deep technology expertise of Accenture and Oracle’s expansive set
of cloud solutions to help these pioneering leaders effectively
move to the cloud.
Accenture has more than 52,000 Oracle-skilled consultants around
the world who help accelerate digital transformation by
implementing Oracle-based business solutions and new business
processes that can develop and evolve as their digital business
