Oracle does not want to have to convince anyone to move to the cloud. In fact, it doesn’t have to, according to Shawn Price, senior VP, Cloud Go-to-Market and product business groups at Oracle.

“I don’t want to convince you,” Price told John Furrier and Brian Gracely, cohosts of theCUBE, from theSiliconANGLE Media team, during Oracle OpenWorld 2015. “I don’t need to convince you. I have such a robust, enormous market that’s proactively disrupting and raising their hand, and that’s where we should focus our attention.”

Price explained that there are already plenty of businesses who understand the disruptiveness of cloud and see the value in Oracle’s cloud solutions, and with over 70 million subscribers performing over 30 billion transactions a day, Oracle does not need to push cloud on new consumers. According to Price, the cloud transformation is happening because the market is demanding it.

How Oracle judges its success

When it comes to determining whether its solutions are successful with customers, Price said that Oracle’s main concerns are the value provided to its users.

“In terms of judgment, it’s about ‘did customer go live, did they use the subscription, and did they get value from it?’, and that drives everything else,” Price said. “If we make it that simple, you can look across any dimension of the company.”

Price said that Oracle’s strategy is to “be transparent, be simple to do business with.”

He added, “We listen to those 70 million subscribers” and said, “I love spending time with customers because they inform our strategy.”
