ORACLE MANAGEMENT CLOUD CUSTOMER REFERENCE LOOKBOOK

ORACLE MANAGEMENT CLOUD CUSTOMER REFERENCE LOOKBOOK

INTRODUCTION Cloud transformation is about new possibilities but it also poses big challenges, especially around security and systems management. The proliferation of new cloud apps and connected devices has led to the disappearance of network perimeters as workers use increasingly personal devices to connect to enterprise systems from any location. As a result, organizations have less visibility into which resources their applications are using and who is doing what, where, and when. Manual processes and on-premises technologies are both expensive to maintain and slow to update, and therefore do not afford ambitious businesses the agility, control or real-time insights they need. That is why they are turning to the scalability and flexibility of the cloud, and to the power of machine learning, to automate, secure and augment their IT environments. In this book, we celebrate the success of customers who are using Oracle Management Cloud to transform their businesses. Oracle Management Cloud: Customer Reference Lookbook 02
