Oracle Applications Run Best on Oracle HardwareA complete, integrated hardware and software stack that’s engineered to work together

The Customer PerspectiveIn every industry, IT is dealing with rising costs, shrinking budgets, overtaxed resources, underused assets, and inflexible systems. More complex service level agreements (SLAs) and integration difficulties from multivendor systems translate into long, unpredictable deployment times and unscheduled downtimes.

And by the way, is the solution mobile? Does it work on the devices your employees are already using? Is it available 24/7?

For their part, line-of-business (LOB) managers are too often stuck with overly complex systems that lack agility, security, and compliance. This can result in damaged reputations, missed revenue opportunities, reduced user productivity, and a less-competitive business.

Faster, Better, and SimplifiedOracle enterprise applications run best on Oracle systems. That should come as no surprise—especially if you’re already a user of Oracle software or hardware.

Because they have access to the entire stack, Oracle engineers can ensure that the hardware, software, and everything in between are not just integrated, but also tested and optimized for unprecedented performance and reliability. But what does it mean for you to have faster business processes, faster reporting capabilities, and real-time access to business-critical data?

Measurable Business ResultsIt’s not business as usual. Oracle enterprise applications running on Oracle hardware result in performance increases that make a difference—to user productivity, to operating expenses, to response times, to customer experience, and to the bottom line.• View your business-critical reports and analyze data in real

time—no waiting• Get comfortable with “always-on” availability, 24/7

• Simplify deployment, implementation, management, upgrades, and maintenance with predictable deployments and standardized environments that reduce risk, costs, and complexity

• See higher productivity from users with solutions that let them—for example—double the number of payments processed in an hour or get query responses back in 15 seconds instead of 5 minutes

• Translate higher performance into new levels of scalability that let you add more concurrent users and deploy applications faster with no waiting for bottlenecked resources

• Manage the entire stack—applications, hardware, deployments, patches, upgrades, and more—from one pane of glass

• Give customers a better experience with personalized interactions and faster service—including faster self-service searches
