Oracle’s new facility in Bangalore will boost the cloud transformation of small and medium enterprises to streamline their operations and set a platform for growth.

Small and Medium Businesses (SMBs) will get access to the cloud solutions and resources they need to power digital transformation with the opening of Oracle’s first Digital Hub in Asia Pacific, which will be based in Bangalore. The new facility, one of five digital hubs set to open in Asia Pacific, highlights Oracle’s commitment to better serving the midsize market in the new cloud economy.

 

The hub will house Oracle’s new digital sales team and focus on helping more midsize organizations transition to the cloud quickly and easily.  With a distinctive Indian feel, and exuding the energy of a start-up, the team will provide timely, personalized and effective support to customers, using the latest collaboration tools, techniques, and technologies to transform the buying experience.  

 

“The cloud is democratizing IT; you just need a web browser or a mobile phone app to take advantage of it.  What’s more, it has incredible transformation potential for small businesses, enabling them to do things they have never been able to do before, at an affordable price, such as use technology to streamline business processes, gain access to an easy-to-use platform for innovation, and digitize their customer experience.  We are simplifying the buying process to help these smaller organizations, as well as branch offices and line of business departments, digitally transform their business,” said François Lançon, senior vice president, Oracle Japan, and Asia Pacific.

 

In addition to the simplified buying experience, Oracle’s Digital Hubs will provide a complete suite of cloud applications, platform, and infrastructure services as both stand-alone services and as bundles.  The range of choices empowers small businesses to select solutions that directly address their goals or issues.  

 

“We’re constantly trying to reduce operational costs by automating our processes so that we can focus more on our core business, and Oracle understands this very well. The Oracle HCM cloud solution has completely transformed our HR engine to match our fast growth and has given us the freedom to do more with less. It has helped us achieve the right blend of process modernisation and increased efficiencies. The analytics that comes embedded enabled us to gain the right insights to drive more contextual collaboration and engagement, and make faster and better operational decisions,” Vivek V Purekar, vice president and global HR head, Simeio Solutions.

 

The complete package

“There are over 51 million SMBs in India, many of whom haven’t worked with Oracle or used cloud before.  They now have access to the most modern solutions in the market, available online, direct via the hub and through our expanded end-to-end ecosystem, working with the vast network in India.  The increased choice in cloud technology will help accelerate SMB’s ability to innovate and grow more quickly, paving the way for the next big SMB revolution in the country.  This solid investment reiterates our strong commitment to India,” Shailender Kumar, vice president and regional managing director, Oracle India.

 

The Digital Hub’s work with SMBs complements the Oracle Startup Cloud Accelerator Programme, which aims to fuel cloud-enabled innovation among start-ups around the globe. Following the success of the pilot program in Bangalore, Oracle recently expanded locations across the globe, including opening two new centers in Delhi–NCR and Mumbai to provide mentorship and technology resources to local start-ups. 

 

“With nearly 40 percent contribution to India’s GDP, the SMB sector forms the backbone of the Indian economy. Technology enablement of SMBs is expected to further add USD 1.1 trillion to the GDP and over USD 250 billion to exports from India. Technology advancements, particularly around cloud, are playing a key role in helping small businesses to upgrade their operations, launch innovative products and services and expand their reach. Tools that make it easier for these organizations to adopt cloud and are compatible with local business needs will certainly be welcomed,” said Praveen Bhadada, partner and practice head – Digital, Zinnov Management Consulting.
