flexibility.
Oracle may surprise you. Businesses like yours (small and medium) is one
of our fastest growing segments.
Oracle has a wide breadth of solutions, both HW and SW. We have teams
that specialize so that we can focus, in-depth, on the solutions we can offer
you.
The Oracle engineered systems are premium products but our strategy is
to price Oracle infrastructure products and services aggressively – including
options for you to pay only for the HW and SW you use.
