“The cloud is transforming the way businesses work” and soon the cloud will be affecting the way we play as well, said Dan Miller, SVP of ISV/OEM and Java sales at Oracle. “A lot of partners are ready to put their application on the platform and either into their private cloud or Oracle’s public cloud,” Miller said.

“We’re going to change the world in the cloud,” Miller said of Oracle.

A vibrant, dynamic bilateral ecosystem

Independent software vendors “are absolutely relevant to the market,” remarked Miller during an interview with John Furrier and Jeff Frick, cohosts of theCUBE, from the SiliconANGLE Media team, during Oracle OpenWorld 2015. Oracle is focusing on its ISVs by “ensuring the best architectural design” in addition to a “go-to market in the scale of the cloud … and vibrant, dynamic bilateral ecosystem.”

Oracle is “not just a platform.” Miller said his department is “ensuring the success that they have had with Oracle in the past” while presenting “literally hundreds of partners raring to go.”

Currently, Oracle has “thousands of partners in trial Platform as a Service,” a “test drive” of its portfolio. The company is also sponsoring “direct engineer-to-engineer conversations.” Oracle is having “one-on-one partner engagement” where the “concepts are developed” and partners are asking “How do we do that?” In some cases, the partners are even saying “Hurry up!” Miller reported. He stated that partners do not do that with many companies, with the exception of Mircosoft.
