Redwood Shores, Calif.—Jun 20, 2016

Oracle today announced that after a detailed review and selection process, Pfizer has selected Oracle Health Sciences InForm Cloud Service and the Oracle Siebel Clinical Trial Management and Monitoring Cloud Service to help manage and monitor its more than 300 clinical trials a year and continue to provide best-in-class solutions.
 
“Oracle Health Sciences InForm Cloud Service and Oracle Siebel Clinical Trial Management and Monitoring Cloud Service can simplify how we manage both operational and study data for in-house as well as outsourced studies,” said Rob Goodwin, vice president of Pfizer Global Product Development, Center of Excellence. “Clinical teams will be able to access study data through Oracle’s single platform cloud service, eliminating the need to send data back and forth to CROs, saving us time and reducing the cost of our clinical studies.”
 
By using Oracle Health Sciences InForm Cloud Service, Pfizer will be able to take advantage of over 100,000 investigator sites already trained in InForm, while increasing site data satisfaction.
 
The Oracle Health Sciences InForm Cloud Service will enable Pfizer to have greater control over its data and provide measurable efficiency and productivity gains in data management and remote monitoring. In addition, study templates and library management capabilities within Oracle Health Sciences InForm will enable Pfizer to accelerate the study-build process and result in faster trial implementation.
 
“Today, pharma companies are challenged by increasingly complex global clinical trials,” said Steve Rosenberg, senior vice president and general manager, Oracle Health Sciences. “With more than 15 years of electronic data capture experience in the clinical industry, Oracle Health Sciences helps leading pharmas — such as Pfizer — not only to standardize and optimize their clinical study processes, but also to be prepared with value-based clinical innovation solutions that enable them for the future of data collection.”
 
Oracle Health Sciences InForm Cloud Service includes both Oracle Health Sciences InForm and Oracle Health Sciences Data Management Workbench (DMW) to advance standardized end-to-end clinical data collection and management processes that help drive greater efficiencies for both internal and outsourced trials. Utilizing the platform, efficiencies can be gained through the seamless integration of Oracle Health Sciences InForm, Oracle Health Sciences Central Designer, and Oracle Health Sciences Data Management Workbench, enabling data standardization, streamlining collection, consolidation, cleaning, and transformation.
 
Pfizer will also use Oracle Siebel Clinical Trial Management and Monitoring Cloud Service, including Oracle Siebel Clinical Trial Management System, Oracle Health Sciences Clinical Development Analytics, and risk-based monitoring (RBM) functionality to provide new insights into trial management and help increase efficiency of the monitoring workforce. A single set of tools for internal and outsourced trials can simplify data exchange and the interface between investigator sites, CRO partners, and Pfizer. With the selection of Oracle’s platform and RBM solution, Pfizer will be able to execute risk-based monitoring through an integrated approach.
 
The Oracle Siebel Clinical Trial Management and Monitoring Cloud Service, which utilizes Oracle Siebel Clinical Trial Management System and Oracle Health Sciences Clinical Development Analytics, is a solution that combines standardized comprehensive clinical trial capabilities, integrated analytic tools, and data security with a cloud service that enables organizations to manage clinical trials effectively and economically, as well as improve CRO and sponsor relationships from early to late stage clinical trials.

Oracle Gives Partners a Fast Path to Cloud

Press Release

Oracle Gives Partners a Fast Path to Cloud

Independent Software Vendors Gain New Revenue Opportunities through Oracle Cloud Marketplace

Redwood Shores, Calif.—Jun 20, 2016

The conversion to the cloud is one of the most significant IT transformations in history. IDC predicts that by 2018, at least half of IT spending will be cloud based. To help customers transition to the cloud with proven enterprise applications, while accelerating time-to-market for partners, Oracle PartnerNetwork (OPN) today unveiled Oracle Cloud Platform Ready for Independent Software Vendors (ISVs).

The new offering enables ISV partners to quickly register and publish their Oracle Cloud-compatible applications on the Oracle Cloud Marketplace, allowing them to fast-track new business opportunities in the cloud.  Partners can register here.

“Any new product we develop will go to the Oracle Cloud Marketplace first. We envision in the future that most of our customers will research, validate and request our solutions directly from the Oracle Cloud Marketplace,” said Charles Farnell, CEO, Ventureforth.

Oracle Cloud Platform Ready provides OPN members at Silver level or higher, a simple way to create an initial application listing on Oracle Cloud Marketplace in the Platform and Infrastructure sections in mere minutes. Any partner application that supports an Oracle Cloud compatible operating system or technology product can run on Oracle Cloud without the need for rewrite, and at no additional cost. To speed time-to-market, partners can quickly request access to Oracle Cloud Specialists and other technical resources directly from the Oracle Cloud Platform Ready registration. Additionally, ISVs with an Oracle Cloud Marketplace listing are eligible for the Oracle Cloud ISV Partner of the Year award and may apply for OPN Cloud Standard program benefits, including easy access to Oracle Cloud development and test environments.

“Oracle's Cloud Specialist team provided in-depth technical support during our proof of concept testing that allowed us to create automated deployment scenarios quickly and efficiently,” said Brent Rhymes, Executive Vice President Enterprise Sales & Marketing, Synacor/Zimbra. “Managed Service Providers can create new business opportunities by becoming a Zimbra Hosting Provider in the Oracle Cloud, while customers can deploy and manage their own collaboration solution within minutes. In each case, the flexibility of Zimbra plus the Oracle Cloud means users can start small and grow, or start big and get bigger.” 

In addition to quick access to Oracle Cloud Marketplace and development resources, partners engaging in the new offering will have the benefit of being able to reach Oracle’s expansive customer base, field sales, 25,000 global partners and 15 million developers through enhanced marketing and promotion efforts.

“The cloud represents a huge opportunity for our ISV partner community,” said Dan Miller, Senior Vice President of ISV, OEM and Java Sales, Oracle. “Through the Oracle Cloud Marketplace, and joint initiatives like Oracle Cloud Platform Ready, we are enabling ISV partners to focus more on their unique innovation, while leveraging the Oracle Cloud to get their solutions in front of a broad market of potential users quickly and at scale.”

Oracle and Mellanox to Collaborate on High Speed Cloud Networking Standards

Companies to Work on Open Standards, Interoperability, and Backward Compatibility for InfiniBand products

Frankfurt – ISC—Jun 20, 2016

Oracle’s core strategy is to enable its cloud solutions and Engineered Systems with open technologies that deliver the highest performance, efficiency, and security. Due to its superior performance, efficiency, and scalability, InfiniBand is a dominant fabric for building Super Computers, which rapidly process massive amounts of data. Oracle has chosen InfiniBand as the foundational technology for Engineered Systems to provide unparalleled performance and scale to Oracle’s suite of business critical applications.

“Customers using InfiniBand as the interconnect for clouds and high performance computing can be certain that as new speeds and features are incorporated into the InfiniBand architecture that they will be able to continue to work with the supplier of their choice and that new products will seamlessly integrate with their existing InfiniBand infrastructures,” said Raju Penumatcha, senior vice president, Netra and Networking, Oracle. “This continued partnership represents an enduring commitment to provide customers with the technologies and standards needed for true enterprise-class cloud infrastructures that enable them to accelerate application performance and quickly respond to changing business needs.”

“With a standards-based architecture, and the most advanced roadmap that is guided by the InfiniBand Trade Association, and a mature, open source software stack, InfiniBand offers customers the best of performance and interoperability with the support of a large community of suppliers, developers, and users,” said Gilad Shainer, vice president, marketing at Mellanox Technologies. “This partnership enables us to continue to optimize and expand InfiniBand’s role as a key technology for any cloud environment.”

Q4 FY16 SAAS AND PAAS REVENUES WERE UP 66%, AND UP 68% IN CONSTANT CURRENCY

Press Release

Q4 FY16 SAAS AND PAAS REVENUES WERE UP 66%, AND UP 68% IN CONSTANT CURRENCY

Q1 FY17 SaaS and PaaS Revenues Expected to be Up 75% to 80%

Redwood Shores, Calif.—Jun 16, 2016

Oracle Corporation (NYSE: ORCL) today announced fiscal 2016 Q4 results. Total Q4 Revenues were $10.6 billion, down 1% in U.S. dollars and flat in constant currency. Cloud plus On-Premise Software Revenues were $8.4 billion, flat in U.S. dollars and up 2% in constant currency. Cloud software as a service (SaaS) and platform as a service (PaaS) revenues were $690 million, up 66% in U.S. dollars and up 68% in constant currency. Total Cloud revenues, including infrastructure as a service (IaaS), were $859 million, up 49% in U.S dollars and up 51% in constant currency. Operating Income was $4.0 billion, and Operating Margin was 37%. Non-GAAP Operating Income was $4.8 billion, and the non-GAAP Operating Margin was 45%. Net Income was $2.8 billion while non-GAAP Net Income was $3.4 billion. Earnings Per Share was $0.66, while non-GAAP Earnings Per Share was $0.81. Without the impact of the U.S. dollar strengthening compared to foreign currencies, Oracle’s reported GAAP Earnings Per Share would have been 2 cents higher and non-GAAP Earnings Per Share would have been 1 cent higher.

Short-term deferred revenues were $7.7 billion, up 6% in U.S. dollars and up 7% in constant currency compared with a year ago. Operating cash flow on a trailing twelve-month basis was $13.6 billion.

For fiscal 2016, Total Revenues were $37.0 billion, down 3% in U.S. dollars and up 2% in constant currency. Cloud plus On-Premise Software Revenues were $29.0 billion, down 2% in U.S. dollars and up 3% in constant currency. Cloud SaaS and PaaS revenues were $2.2 billion, up 49% in U.S. dollars and up 52% in constant currency. Total Cloud revenues, including IaaS, were $2.9 billion, up 36% in U.S dollars and up 40% in constant currency. Operating Income was $12.6 billion, and Operating Margin was 34%. Non-GAAP Operating Income was $15.8 billion and non-GAAP Operating Margin was 43%. Net Income was $8.9 billion while non-GAAP Net Income was $11.2 billion. Earnings Per Share was $2.07, while Non-GAAP Earnings Per Share was $2.61. Without the impact of the U.S. dollar strengthening compared to foreign currencies, Oracle’s reported GAAP and non-GAAP Earnings Per Share would have been 17 cents higher.

“Fourth quarter SaaS and PaaS revenue growth accelerated to 68% in constant currency, significantly higher than my guidance,” said Oracle CEO, Safra Catz. “SaaS and PaaS gross margins continued to improve throughout the year, exiting FY16 at 56%. Bookings in Q4 were also very strong enabling us to raise our guidance for Q1 SaaS and PaaS revenue growth, which we now expect to be between 75% and 80%.”

“We added more than 1,600 new SaaS customers and more than 2,000 new PaaS customers in Q4,” said Oracle CEO, Mark Hurd. “In Fusion ERP alone, we added more than 800 new cloud customers. Today, Oracle has nearly 2,600 Fusion ERP customers in the Oracle Public Cloud – that’s ten-times more cloud ERP customers than Workday.”

“We expect that the SaaS and PaaS hyper-growth we experienced in FY16 will continue on for the next few years,” said Oracle Executive Chairman and CTO, Larry Ellison. “That gives us a fighting chance to be the first cloud company to reach $10 billion in SaaS and PaaS revenue. We’re also very excited about the availability of version 2 of Oracle’s Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)—which will enable us to speed up the growth of our IaaS business, which customers want to buy in conjunction with our SaaS and PaaS.”

The Board of Directors also declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.15 per share of outstanding common stock. This dividend will be paid to stockholders of record as of the close of business on July 6, 2016, with a payment date of July 27, 2016.

"Safe Harbor" Statement

Statements in this press release relating to Oracle's future plans, expectations, beliefs, intentions and prospects, including statements regarding our future guidance, and expectations of future SaaS, PaaS and IaaS growth, are "forward-looking statements" and are subject to material risks and uncertainties. Many factors could affect our current expectations and our actual results, and could cause actual results to differ materially. We presently consider the following to be among the important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from expectations: (1) Our cloud computing strategy, including our Oracle Cloud SaaS, PaaS, IaaS and data as a service offerings, may not be successful.

(3) If the security measures for our software, hardware, services or Oracle Cloud offerings are compromised or if such offerings contain significant coding, manufacturing or configuration errors, we may experience reputational harm, legal claims and financial exposure. (4) We may fail to achieve our financial forecasts due to such factors as delays or size reductions in transactions, fewer large transactions in a particular quarter, fluctuations in currency exchange rates, delays in delivery of new products or releases or a decline in our renewal rates for support contracts. (5) Our international sales and operations subject us to additional risks that can adversely affect our operating results, including risks relating to foreign currency gains and losses. (6) Economic, geopolitical and market conditions, including the continued slow economic recovery in the U.S. and other parts of the world, can adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition, including our revenue growth and profitability, which in turn could adversely affect our stock price. (7) We have an active acquisition program and our acquisitions may not be successful, may involve unanticipated costs or other integration issues or may disrupt our existing operations. A detailed discussion of these factors and other risks that affect our business is contained in our SEC filings, including our most recent reports on Form 10-K and Form 10-Q, particularly under the heading "Risk Factors."

Oracle Cloud Helps Utilities Make Better, Faster Business Decisions

Press Release

Oracle Cloud Helps Utilities Make Better, Faster Business Decisions

New analytics capabilities enable better data collection and analysis to improve business insights

EEI Annual Convention - Chicago, IL—Jun 14, 2016

The utility industry is in the midst of a significant transformation, and the increasing prevalence of digital technologies is driving organizations to embrace innovation. Capturing and analyzing data across infrastructures now play a crucial role in addressing changes and challenges. Today, Oracle Utilities announced new releases of two of its cutting edge analytics solutions, which enable utilities to better access, organize and analyze the massive amount of data they collect while saving time and reducing IT and maintenance costs.
 
Oracle Utilities Analytics Cloud Service helps utilities easily integrate their on-premise customer, meter, device, and workforce data into a single platform in the cloud. The cloud solution’s flexibility and scalability enables utilities of all sizes to leverage powerful data analytics without the need for in-house analytics experts. The cloud “future-proofs” smart grid and analytics strategies—enabling utilities to leverage the latest analytics capabilities to remain at the forefront of industry innovation. This new cloud service further enhances Oracle Utilities’ cloud analytics suite, which includes Oracle DataRaker, an advanced analytics solution providing actionable insight and predictive analytics services for big data.
 
“As a leading systems integrator and Oracle PartnerNetwork member, we worked closely with the Oracle Utilities team on co-development activities for Oracle Utilities Analytics,” said John Gustafson, Vice President, Energy and Utilities at Cognizant.
 
“This solution can enable utilities around the world to leverage robust analytics capabilities and gain immediate access to valuable insight. Drawing on Cognizant’s extensive global experience and expertise in implementing Oracle Business Intelligence and working with Oracle Cloud, we are continuing to develop new implementation resources for Oracle Utilities Analytics Cloud Service for utilities worldwide.”
 
The new version of Oracle Utilities Work and Asset Management Analytics provides users with an extensive platform featuring pre-built analytics based on industry best practices to provide the most value to utilities for asset maintenance strategies. The upgraded solution offers:
  • • Four new dashboards with 26 pages of analytics to support 74 metrics related to work and asset management questions—enabling users to drill down even further into the data associated with these analytics.
  • • Hundreds of different report outputs based on organization hierarchy. Each report has the ability to provide answers to any level of the organization.
 
“Utilities today collect massive amounts of data and they do not always have the means to analyze it and turn it into actionable business intelligence,” said Rodger Smith, senior vice president and general manager, Oracle Utilities. “Oracle Utilities Analytics Cloud Service and Oracle Utilities Work and Asset Management Analytics provide utilities with the ability to analyze their data more quickly, and in a more meaningful way.”

Oracle Joins the White House in Global Campaign to Empower Girls and Women

Press Release

Oracle Joins the White House in Global Campaign to Empower Girls and Women

Pledges $3 Million to Educate Girls in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math

Redwood Shores, Calif.—Jun 14, 2016

 

President Obama endorses Oracle’s work in advancing computer science and STEM education globally.

On the heels of Oracle’s $200 million commitment to support Computer Science (CS) Education for All, today the White House announced Oracle’s additional $3 million investment to immerse girls worldwide in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). The company’s commitment of direct and in-kind funding supports “Let Girls Learn,” a U.S. government initiative aimed at helping adolescent girls around the world go to school and stay in school.

“It takes 25 years to build a computer engineer, not 25 hours, so we need to get started,” said Safra Catz, Oracle CEO. “The computer sciences lose too many girls too early and once lost, it’s nearly impossible to get them back. We want more girls focused on building upon science and math fundamentals and we want more women choosing the technical disciplines because they are both prepared to do so and because they believe it will advance their career opportunities.”

Oracle will offer more than 65 educational events and reach over 55,000 young girls globally through a powerful nexus of its corporate social responsibility programs spanning Oracle Academy, Oracle Education Foundation, Oracle Giving and Volunteers, Oracle Women’s Leadership (OWL), and Oracle Diversity and Inclusion. Events will include summer computing camps, codefests, workshops and conferences designed to encourage and inspire adolescent girls to become original thinkers, creative designers and enterprising trailblazers.

Additionally, Oracle plans to expand its CS efforts in Egypt with an additional investment of nearly $1 million in educational resources and services over the next four years. The commitment is part of a new collaboration between the Ministry of Education in Egypt, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and Oracle Academy, Oracle’s philanthropic educational program that impacts more than 2.6 million students in 106 countries. The partnership will support computing education in nine newly-created STEM schools throughout the country, including one boarding school exclusively for girls which will accept up the top 10 percent of girls across the governorates, reaching 150 girls each year and providing three years of paid education for each girl.

As part of the company’s global campaign to support girls and women in technology, Oracle will drive several notable projects:

  • Oracle Academy will team with Arizona State University and others under the USAID Build-IT project to help women in Vietnam develop into IT leaders. President Obama recently endorsed Oracle’s contribution in furthering this effort.
  • Oracle Education Foundation and Oracle Volunteers will team to teach girls coding, electrical engineering and project management through girls-only workshops for Design Tech High School (d.tech), an innovative, free California public high school. Oracle is building d.tech’s new facility at its headquarters in Redwood Shores, Calif., making d.tech the world’s first public high school on a technology campus.
  • Oracle Giving and Oracle Academy will award grants and sponsorships globally to nonprofit organizations striving to increase girls’ access to educational opportunities and encourage them to pursue degrees in computer science and STEM fields.
  • Oracle Giving will continue its support for MentorNet, which engages STEM professionals in the virtual mentoring of undergraduates, 66% of whom are women.
