Accenture and Oracle have announced that infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) offerings will now be available through the Accenture Oracle Business Group, adding to the already-existing software-as-a-service and platform-as-a-service capabilities.
This was revealed at the Oracle Open World 2016 conference in San Francisco. The companies say the expansion of capabilities further positions Accenture as Oracle's largest global systems integrator and a leader in Oracle Public Cloud.
In 2013, Accenture and Oracle entered a multi-year, strategic initiative to bring Oracle Engineered systems to clients more quickly and cost-effectively.
The Accenture Oracle Business Group was introduced in April 2015 to deliver industry-specific solutions built on the Oracle Public Cloud that help organisations with their digital transformation goals, realise the benefits of the cloud faster and help reduce risk.
Following an initial focus on the public, financial and hospitality services sectors, the combined business group has grown to support federal, insurance, health, higher education, oil and gas, and utilities industries.
"Oracle is expanding its cloud capabilities at an impressive pace, and we are pleased to now provide joint clients with a complete suite of offerings and industry solutions through the Accenture Oracle Business Group," says Paul Daugherty, Accenture's chief technology officer.
"The addition of new IaaS offerings reflects our ongoing commitment to help clients achieve value through Oracle's Cloud solutions and solidifies Accenture's position as the first managed services provider for Oracle's Cloud portfolio."
"The growth of the Accenture Oracle Business Group showcases the continued strength of our more than two decade relationship with Accenture," says Thomas Kurian, president of product development at Oracle. "Oracle is excited to announce Accenture as the first partner in our new Cloud Managed Service Provider Programme. We look forward to Accenture's ongoing role as a leading service provider for migration, implementation and managed services within Oracle's Public Cloud to help mutual clients on their journey to the cloud."
