 EDITOR’S LETTER

Why Oracle Cloud Solutions remain the best buy?

Designed to handle the most demanding workloads, Oracle Cloud packs networking, storage, database,
connectivity, and governance which can create a complete, reliable technology ecosystem in the cloud.
When I keenly observed the key areas where Oracle Cloud takes the big pie, I found that Oracle’s Cloud
Infrastructure bends all advantages of the public cloud with the control, security, and predictability of
on-premise infrastructure. In today’s customer-focused business environment, Oracle offers business
customers with flexible enterprise-IT choices—in the cloud, conventional, or a mix of both, which are
more than any other vendors. The important point is, Oracle solutions have frequently been
misunderstood by their short-term growth. But, they have proved that their longer-term strategic
positioning and potential is always beneficial for enterprises.

Therefore, this time, the team of Mirror Review brings you our latest magazine issue, “The 10 Best
Oracle Solution Providers of 2019”, featuring prominent companies who are employing Oracle
solutions to transform clients’ digital environment for better.

Out of these leading companies, we have featured The DOC B.V. (The Dutch Oracle Company) as the
cover story of this magazine. The company provides its customers with the best fitting solution for their
needs and acts as a part of their organization to improve and grow their business solutions. Started his
journey as an Oracle developer, the CEO, Guido Leduc guides his team at The DOC B.V. in projects
and operations.

Moving ahead, we have covered innovating stories of leading tech-companies leveraging Oracle
technology to enhance their clients’ portfolio.

On the experts viewpoint, we have Tomas López Fernebrand (VP/Amadeus) and Ricky Solorzano,
(CEO/Allevi), explaining their views about advanced technologies.

The team of Mirror Review always strives to introduce our precious readers with astonishing disruptive
technologies. This comprehensive magazine is packed with two articles covering two of the most
popular technologies, cloud and blockchain to refresh your mind and opinion about their impacts and
limitations.

I hope you will definitely enjoy this magazine issue.

Happy Reading!

CEO
W ith products for each requirement, Oracle is a
strong competitor in the market to provide the
full stack solution to IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS for
all level of enterprises. Oracle has a huge portfolio of
products in the cloud which seamlessly integrate and
collaborate with users and systems. These products are
continuously expanding besides technological
improvements like autonomous patching, self-performance
tuning, and automatic security updates. Many Oracle’s
cloud products are part of the PaaS portfolio where other
cloud providers mostly provide Infrastructure as a Service
(IaaS). Therefore, the gap between IaaS and SaaS is filled
by PaaS that provides the platform with pre-installed
products to develop and run the user’s own applications.
The DOC B.V. (The Dutch Oracle Company) is an
organization that mainly focuses on these abilities of Oracle
technology. The company provides its customers with the
best fitting solution for their needs and acts as part of their
organization to improve and grow their business solutions.
It assists the clients in infrastructure and (custom)
applications including maintenance and 24/7 support. This
dedicated support enables customers to focus on their core
businesses.
Evolving as the Technologies Evolve
Since its establishment in 1999, The DOC evolved from a
technology driven company towards a solutions provider
but still focused on the Oracle technology. In the past year,
the company further extended its offerings from a

provider. It works with customers’ organizations by
advising and supporting them on business process level
coupled with technical solutions. This results in a
trustworthy partnership with their customers. The prime
goal of The DOC is to help clients grow their businesses
without letting them worry about their IT systems.
Moreover, complete customers’ infrastructures are managed
by The DOC based on trust, loyalty, focus, communication,
quality, and flexibility.
Expanding Services with CEO’s Contribution
The CEO of The DOC B.V., Guido Leduc started his
journey as an Oracle developer in 1998. Working as the
CEO, Guido’s role changed from pure technical into team
lead, project manager, and operations manager. Today, at
The DOC, he mainly plays a business-oriented role and
focuses on the customers in functional, technical, and
commercial matters. Besides being responsible for
‘running’ the company, Guido is still involved in company
projects as a solution designer, project manager, and
business consultant. In addition, he is always ready to
facilitate his team members who need some form of support
in their challenges at The DOC. Guido also enjoys spending
his time out in the field visiting customers and prospects. As
a trusted solution partner, he advises and supports his
clients in their line of business with their goals. This
approach of maintaining customer trust helped The DOC in
expanding its customer partnerships.
Fulfilling Growing Clients’ Demands with Technology
Improvements
Speaking of today’s business environment, Oracle business
is becoming more difficult and the IT departments must
improve with changing business trends and clients’
requirements. Today, it’s hard for the most IT departments
to follow the changing pattern of businesses because they
are mostly focused on standards and procedures rather
than focusing on dynamically changing environments.
Understanding this varying scenario, the main goal of
The DOC is to keep a balance between business and
IT. It has branch and customer focus teams, who act
on the fine line between business process and IT,
providing a stable solution for the data systems. It
offers solutions like data analysis and
visualization tools which can be used by the
business on their required level and timing.
Learning from clients’ needs, The DOC serves
the following offerings:

n The One Stop Shop for Oracle
As a full-service provider, Oracle’s
knowledge and expertise are deeply rooted
in The DOC. The leading Oracle solutions
provider has all the facets to advice clients’
organizations in the entire Oracle spectrum.
Also, it works as an extension of
customers’ organization.
At The DOC, clients find a culture that
values cooperation and entrepreneurship
which always strives for service and quality
at the highest level. The DOC’s One Stop
Shop is characterized by six collaborating
Business Units, from which it helps customers to
look for the most suitable solution.
n Cloud Services
The cloud is expanding; working in the cloud creates
huge opportunities for organizations as the cloud offers
enormous flexibility, scalability and reliability to
guarantee that crucial systems will always be available
and future ready.
Working in the cloud is transforming the entire
organization’s direction. Collaborating with the right
partner is of crucial interest for achieving one’s cloud
success. From its Cloud Solutions Center, the team of
The DOC advises how to set up and implement the best
fitting cloud solution by offering cloud packages and
Proof of Concepts based on a track record of successful
cloud implementations and migrations.

implementation. Clients’ organizations have challenges
and The DOC solves those challenges in-house. It
interviews clients, sparring, and brainstorming with
them. This helps them to come to the right answer and
develop it as a customized solution.
n Managed Services

of a Service Level Agreement (SLA). Managed Services
is the service where the management of the client’s
Oracle environment is transferred to The DOC. The
leading Oracle solutions provider monitors client’s
Oracle environment 24/7, even in combination with
Application Support.

clients to grow their
businesses while
managing their
entire IT systems.
n Business Intelligence
Business Intelligence is the future. If a customer orders
an article via the internet, then the person gets additional
advice on other products that may be of interest to the
consumer. The factory, or the supplier, continuously
monitors all available data from different angles.
Patterns are recognized and mapped. Different dates are
merged. Business Intelligence and Analytics is
applicable within all organizations and at all levels.
From reports to dashboards to predictive analyzes and
data visualization.
Following the same procedure, The DOC stores the data
and uses it to be predictive and guiding. It examines
data, adds together, discovers patterns, visualizes them,
and comes to advice that is important to clients.
n Product Solutions
Product Solutions are the logical combination of various
activities into one solution. For a large municipality, The
DOC has developed a product from Professional
Services to detect housing frauds by applying Business
Intelligence. That was a great success on several fronts.
In the financial field alone, the municipality saved many
millions. Subsequently, the customer entered into a
management agreement (Managed Services) with The
DOC for the maintenance and management of the
solution. Additionally, in consultation with the
customer, the company developed this program into a
product that detects address-related abuses and can be
used by all municipalities or other government bodies.
Further, it can also be used to track subsidy fraud or
abuse of student finance.
 We have the answer to clients’
development challenges, from
the consultancy phase, through
architecture to realization.

Loyalty with Customers as the Key to Success

Following the culture of loyalty, The DOC serves quality solutions according to clients’
requirements. The CEO, Guido believes that this is the key to grow a successful business.

 Cloud Trends
Upcoming arrivals in
LOUD
C OMPUTING for the year 2019
I n this dynamic and competitive digital age, it
is a second nature for most professionals to
keep abreast of trends and predictions in the
IT applications and IT infrastructure space. The
formation of new technologies with a potential to
alter lifestyles and challenge traditional business
models has made it imperative for business
leaders to study what lies ahead and evaluate to
be ready for it.
Cloud computing has become a scalable services
consumption and delivery platform in the field of
Services Computing. The technical foundations of
cloud computing include Service-Oriented
Architecture and Virtualizations of hardware and
software. The goal of Cloud computing is to share
resources among the cloud service consumers,
cloud partners, and cloud vendors in the cloud
value chain. The resource sharing at various
levels results in various cloud offerings such as
infrastructure cloud, software cloud, application
cloud, and business cloud.
As the cloud computing market grows, there
would be more expectations and pressure on the
20
CIOs. Higher customer expectations and the
competence will be a building stone for CIOs in
the upcoming years. It is estimated that the entire
range of IT enterprises would be cloud-based by
2020.
So what will be the development in the
upcoming years?
Ÿ Multi-cloud: Over the recent years, multi-cloud
has been creating a major buzz in the
information technology industry. However, it
has often been confused with hybrid cloud
because of certain similarities specific
distinctions. While hybrid cloud is an
amalgamation of on-premises private cloud and
third party public cloud, multi-cloud is a mix
and match combination of cloud services from
different service providers catering to specific
workload requirements. In other words, multi-
cloud is one form of hybrid cloud running in
multiple public cloud environments.
A multi-cloud strategy enables several strategic
benefits. Companies relying on a single cloud
service provider might encounter problems such
as cloud data center bandwidth issues that could
potentially hamper their business and even result
in possible loss of customers, especially when
some of their critical applications are involved.
Usage of multiple cloud services ensures that the
risks of downtime and data loss are averted even
if there is a failure with respect to any
components in the software, hardware, network,
etc.
Additionally, a multi-cloud strategy provides
companies the flexibility to specifically cater to
the divergent requirements of their different
business functions, teams, and departments.
These include security, privacy, performance or
geographic reach of their cloud.
Companies need to involve their IT and business
units and work with the right partner in setting up
an ideal multi-cloud solution. This can shift their
focus from managing technology infrastructure to
investing in business transformation, thereby
depriving the maximum competitive advantage.
Ÿ Serverless Computing: Serverless computing
refers to a new way of creating cloud-
basedapplications that shifts the burden of
heavy infrastructure to the cloud service
providers such as Amazon, Microsoft and
Google. This means that the developers can just
focus oncreating applications without needing
to worry about the server provisioning or
storage allocations.The term ’Serverless’ is a bit
of misnomer.There are still servers involved,
but their management and provisioning is
hidden from the developers. It is a complex
concept and is commonly referred to as
Function as a Service (FaaS). Each function
lives as an independent module, which is
brought to life when triggered with an internal
or external event. The server hosting the
Ÿ function is ‘spun down’ when the processing is
complete. It is conceptually similar to
Microservice Architecture, wherein every
service in an architecture lives as an
independent module.
Amazon was the first to introduce the serverless
computing concept with its product named
Lambda. This was inspired by Simple Storage
Service (S3) one of their highly popular products
and is concerned with storing objects.
How Serverless computing will function in
future?
Ÿ On-demand Execution of Tasks: The
serverless system executes the function when an
event triggering it occurs.
Ÿ Specific Function Coding: People can write
code so that whenever they load some data into
a database, it is instantly stored in a data
warehouse.
Ÿ Applications with IoT: In an IoT system, real-
time responses are required on a massive scale -
making serverless computing an ideal platform.
It is especially helpful in areas of poor
connectivity, so that routing through a data
center can be avoided.
Ÿ Cost and Time Saving: Serverless computing
can be thought as outsourcing – people need to
pay only for managing stuff like application
logic, databases, and servers, which was
managed by companies earlier.
Ÿ Kubernetes: Kubernetes is fast becoming the
operating system for the cloud. It has the
potential to offer massive benefits for tech-firms
and developers. However, the future
advancements in kubernates are as follows:
21
 Cloud Trends
Ÿ Simpler microservices API: From a
programmer’s perspective, microservices
architectures are challenging to implement,
because user requires complex APIs to enable
communication between microservices.
Ÿ Unikernels: The concept behind the unikernel
is simple: provide just enough software to
power the desired application. The unikernel is
software minimalism in practice. Unikernels
depend on specialized compiler systems to
combine application software and operating
system support functions at compile time
instead of runtime. The result is a single
application image that contains everything the
application needs to run. All drivers, I/O
routines, and support library functions normally
provided by an operating system are included in
the executable. None of the thousands of
utilities, unneeded drivers, unnecessary I/O
routines, or unused support libraries is included.
Ÿ GUI-friendly containers: People can run
applications with graphical user interfaces
22
Ÿ (GUIs) inside containers, but existing solutions
for doing so are clunky. As a result, most of the
container cases focus on applications that do not
require a GUI to run, or whose GUI can be
accessed via the web. If a technology can make
it easier to deploy traditional GUI apps inside
containers, it would open up vast new
opportunities for deploying containerized
applications.
Conclusion
Cloud technology is still growing as it continues
to be more mainstream than on-premise
deployments. Organizations must look to simplify
their environments as they move more and more
workloads into the cloud, especially if
organizations are working with multiple cloud
providers. To better utilize cloud technologies, a
proper management of resources is important and
automation backed by cloud technology will play
a prime role in helping business succeed.
 Transforming Capital Projects By Enhancing
Communication, Streamlining Processes And
Deploying Data For Fact-Based Management

O racle PaaS enables companies to leverage
important emerging technologies like AI,
machine learning and IoT. Such innovations
are attracting forward-thinking organizations, many of
which already have a huge amount of Oracle tech and
applications. US-based Enstoa, Inc. supports
companies worldwide with advanced Oracle
technologies like Oracle PrimaveraP6, Primavera
Unifier, and Aconex for capital projects. Enstoa is a
gold partner with Oracle’s Construction and
Engineering Global Business Unit (CEGBU) to
advance capital projects building.
Driving Clients’ Capital Projects with Technology
Great projects are built on a solid foundation of
evidence and data. It’s common to hear about
ambitious and well-resourced projects that fail due to
a lack of comprehensive and reliable data. Enstoa fills
this gap and offers an evidence-based approach, with
high quality industry expertise in capital projects and
a proven, repeatable way to improve project portfolio
performance. Enstoa also provide clients with the
insights and best practices needed to move forward
confidently.

Enstoa with a vision of bringing evidence-based
decision making to organizations in capital projects
and construction. The company is built on the core
foundation of helping organizations use advanced
technologies to reduce risks, speed up performance
and deliver on strategic objectives.

In terms of the 3D printing industry, the globe is
moving towards demands of more regional
personalized products as well as thoughts around
sustainability. In an era where mass manufacturing has
become mainstream, new generations are more
conscious of where products are bought, who makes
them, and how do they benefit not only themselves but
their community. I believe we will see 3D printing
continue to take a greater and greater role in providing
these more regionalized sustainable products for new
market demands.
In terms of Allevi, medicine is also driving in a more
personalized direction. Informed patients are
understanding that tailored medication will drive more

 Future of Blockchain & ERP
Blockchain-based ERP systems
B lockchain technology is being implemented in
a large number of industries from supply
chain, IT services to financial services. Today,
blockchain’s distributed ledger technology is one of
the greatest innovations. It is likely to take a
substantial amount of time before global adoption.
Nonetheless, technologists and leading businesses
have realized that the blockchain technology can play
a big role in areas like logistics, supply chain, and
production that typically falls under the ERP systems
domain.
It is foreseen that the blockchain application in ERP
will help businesses in reducing the recall
requirements. It has the ability to share the production
diary among all original equipment manufacturers
(OEM). Therefore, it is possible to accurately and
promptly recall the affected products. All
30
manufacturers in the ecosystem can strictly control the
flow of goods and payment transactions. In this
manner, it helps in improving transaction-processing
speed and minimizes risks.
In financial companies, blockchain with ERP
minimizes recording errors like duplicate financial
transactions and make payments quicker.
Transparency and reliability in transactions are the
major benefits of using blockchain with ERP.
However, there are several challenges associated with
blockchain adoption that must be mitigated before its
widespread integration can happen.
Like many futuristic business leaders, if you too aspire
to implement blockchain in ERP systems for seamless
results, you must overcome these top 5 challenges
beforehand.
1. Managing growing number of users
Currently, blockchain technology is facing problems
in effectively supporting a large number of users on a
network. Therefore, to match the high user base,
blockchain will need to have better scalability. The
leading blockchain technology-based networks
Bitcoin and Ethereum get slower in transaction
processes. Moreover, higher fees are charged per
transaction because of a substantial rise in users.
There should be in-depth research about how to
upgrade blockchain to improve its user management
capability. It will take a significant amount of time to
develop such capacity to handle the increasing growth
in users. Further, thoroughly vetted and verified
scaling methods are important before implementation
into the ledgers. Thus, one should consider the
scalability before connecting blockchain with ERP
systems on a wide scale.
2. Illegal usage and exposure
Blockchain technology is mostly used in bitcoin,
altcoins, etc that are illegal in some countries. In a
paper titled “A Survey on the Security of Blockchain
Systems” published through the Cornell University
Library, a team of researchers found that criminals use
cryptocurrencies to purchase restricted materials on
online marketplaces. Likewise, they use it as a tool for
money laundering and payment methods for
ransomware.
Nevertheless, these illegal activities are a result of
people’s applications of digital currencies in global
trade and can be carried out with approved currency
too. However, for blockchain technology to be
accepted by the public, it must restrict its usage in
such scenarios.
3. Security and privacy
In their initial design, developers made blockchains to
be publicly visible. The Bitcoin blockchain is
designed to be accessible to all those who have made
a transaction on the network. In such cases of bitcoin
and other cryptocurrencies, public visibility is an
important feature.
However, for governments and companies, this
exposure creates a number of concerns. Most of the
ERP systems in companies need to protect and restrict
access to their data for a myriad of reasons. Therefore,
blockchain technology cannot work in spaces with
sensitive data until developers find out the resolution
for this challenge.
As a solution to public visibility, one can customize
blockchain to meet the needs and specifications of the
specific ERP system. A blockchain can be made
restricted to others. This means that people can only
access parts of the blockchain which are relevant to
their tasks.
Creating such custom blockchains takes a sizable
amount of expertise and planning. Today, security and
privacy is the prime concern of ERP systems.
Therefore, a clear and secure blockchain-based ERP
model with limited and customizable data access
should be developed to tackle such issues.
4. Unsustainable energy consumption
The Bitcoin network and Ethereum network both use
the proof-of-work (PoW) algorithm to validate
transactions made on the blockchains. It is most
popular mechanism for blockchain. It requires the
computation of ultra-complex mathematical problems
to verify and process transactions and to secure the
network.
Therefore, combined with ERP, blockchain systems
will consume extra power to run the computers and a
considerable amount of infrastructure will be required
for cooling and maintaining the systems. According to
a recent finding, the miners who work to validate
transactions in the Bitcoin blockchain consume about
0.2 percent of the global electricity total per year.
The solution over the high-energy consumption
problem is to use Proof-of-stake algorithm instead of
Proof-of-work (PoW). This will also help the
31
 Future of Blockchain & ERP
implementation of blockchain in ERP to operate with
sustainable energy consumption. Still, the shift from
PoW to PoS has to be compatible with current systems
and run as per the output requirements.
5. The need for industry standards
Designing a standard blockchain-ERP system that is
confidential and secure is a big task. Thus, companies
need to agree on standards and practices for seamless
connectivity through such blockchain-based ERP
models. Moreover, the user must overcome the slower
processing rate to avoid interaction failure between
IoT devices and other systems.
With some proof of concepts, global industries should
adopt a common standard and give it the time to
convert and become compatible. These standards will
play an important role in ensuring scalability and
interoperability between multiple blockchain
implementations.
It will also help in reducing the risk of a fragmented
ecosystem. Further, standards could improve
32
understanding of this complex technology and help
progress the market. Moreover, there are potential
opportunities for standards to play a role in sectors
where provenance tracking is important.
Conclusion:
In the heart of today’s business world, where people’s
lives are enmeshed with digital technologies, the
blockchain powered ERP system can be a
breakthrough product. ERP providers are slowly
realizing the positive impact blockchain technology
could make. But, it needs to tackle the above
challenges effectively in order to emerge as prime
support for ERP systems.
Blockchain enables frictionless functioning of
businesses in a unified ecosystem and allows them to
control their resources and growth far better. Experts
say that blockchain could potentially transform how
modern businesses operate. Currently, ERP softwares
are focused on individual enterprises, while
blockchain integration adds more flexibility, but the
security and privacy should not be compromised.

Why
TECHNOLOGY is
Crucial to Achieving a Sustainable
TRAVEL INDUSTRY?
D o you believe in the importance of a
sustainable travel industry? The travel and
tourism sector is expected to grow at an
annual rate of 3.9% over the next decade. That is
positive, but it also reminds us that we need to put in
place measures to guarantee the sustainability of the
sector in the long term. Amadeus takes this very
seriously. Let me tell you why.
We consider that a company’s responsibility goes
beyond securing the growth of its results. At Amadeus
we have a record for many years of limiting the
environmental impact and optimizing the social reach
of our commercial operations. We believe that
environmental efficiency has to start with our internal
operations. That is why we measure our
environmental impact in order to identify
improvements and implement solutions. Since 2009,
we have been using the Amadeus Environmental
Management System (EMS) as a solid methodology to
analyze all our environmental data and help us
identify and take measures to improve environmental
performance.
36
Best
Solution Providers of 2019
As a technology provider for the travel and tourism
sector, Amadeus develops technology solutions that
help our customers improve their environmental and
economic efficiency. One of our technology solutions,
Amadeus Altéa Departure Control-Flight
Management, allows airlines to accurately calculate
the fuel they need for a given flight, allowing them
significant savings in CO2 emissions, fuel and
economic costs.
To achieve greater long-term results, we collaborate
with other interest groups in the travel industry and
participate in projects to improve environmental
sustainability. For example, in order to help achieve
the 2-degree objective set by the Paris Agreement and
reach the carbon neutral level, Amadeus joined the
United Nations’ Climate Neutral Now commitment.
We have also established a long-term agreement with
the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO)
to contribute to a greater awareness of carbon
emissions in aviation. Amadeus uses the ICAO carbon
emissions calculator on its distribution platforms to
provide travelers with information on the greenhouse
gas emissions produced during their trips.

Amadeus’ environmental commitment is reflected in
our inclusion in several global sustainability indices.
Among others, Amadeus has been chosen as one of
the most sustainable companies in the world, ranking
16 in the 100 global companies chosen by Corporate
Knights in 2018. In addition, our efforts in this regard
have been recognized by the Dow Jones Sustainability
Index for seven consecutive years.
Looking at the social level, we believe that travel can
play a key role in global economic development and
can be a determining force for positive change.
We seek to actively contribute to the communities in
which we work, through investment, participation in
local projects and partnerships with non-profit
organizations around the world. To do so, during 2017
we developed 138 community support and social
assistance projects and 69 training projects, providing
young people with the qualifications required by the
digitized sector of travel and tourism.
In 2013, Amadeus launched Click for Change, a
program that, thanks to the donation engine developed
by Amadeus, allows donations from people who buy

their trips online. So far, travelers have donated almost
3 million dollars on the websites of Iberia, Finnair,
Norwegian, Almundo and Avianca for programs to
educate and vaccinate of children, and other
development projects run by the United Nations Fund
for Children (UNICEF).
We also contribute our knowledge in travel
intelligence for initiatives that benefit society. In this
sense, Amadeus is part of a UNICEF global
innovation program that collects and analyzes
complex data sources from different sectors. In part,
thanks to the data provided by Amadeus, they can
better understand the patterns of the spread of
epidemics, which helps them to control possible
outbreaks in other areas.
Our purpose to shape the future of travel and tourism
is based on internal, external and collaborative actions
with other entities in the sector. We are committed and
proud to be able to use Amadeus’ technology,
experience and global network to ensure the
sustainability of the travel industry in the long-term
and build a better future for all.
