Oracle Nigeria joins others to mark worldwide Cloud Day April 14
Oracle Nigeria is set to join the rest of the world on Thursday, April 14 in commemoration of the Oracle Cloud Day in Lagos.
This event, Daily Times gathered would enable the company to have the ‘Oracle Cloud Day’ celebrated live across four time zones, over 30 countries from the East to the West of Africa.
Managing Director, Sub Saharan Africa Cluster in Africa, Cherian Varghese, revealed that this is first of its kind, and a clear departure to anything that Oracle has ever held before and will be rolled-out by using their superior Cloud technology, reaching over more than 30 locations and using webinar technology to engage regions simultaneously.
According to Varghese, the event would bring together over 1,100 people including Oracle employees and support staff, as well as partners that will work together to support this great initiative, around 200 of them presenting on the day.
“Together with Oracle’s state of the art Cloud technology, Oracle will reach partners, channel partners, distributors, entrepreneurs, students and consumers who have and have not yet heard about Oracle. Over one million participants will be reached on one day, all at the same time,” he stressed.
The participants, Varghese said would be invited to engage in discussions related to all three of the Oracle Cloud portfolios, which include Software as a Service (SaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS) and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS).
There would be various keynote addresses from Oracle executives as well as presentations from Cloud experts, case studies and physical demos of the power of cloud technology, through real-life experiences, showcasing how adopting cloud can enable current and future customers.
“At Oracle, we believe that Cloud is the most powerful force in information technology, and in short this means that it’s changing the way we work, the way we collaborate and the way we go to market. It will ultimately change the way we think about business,” Varghese affirmed.
