Oracle supply chain management 100% on cloud for 80% of broad market | #oow15
In a significant achievement for Oracle, the company’s new Supply Chain Management (SCM) cloud-based solution addresses the more complex needs of today’s supply chain.
“We didn’t just take what we had and build it into the cloud,” said Jon Chorley, chief sustainability officer (CSO) and group VP, SCM product strategy and PLM at Oracle. Chorley talked with John Furrier and Jeff Frick, cohosts of theCUBE, from the SiliconANGLE Media team, during Oracle OpenWorld 2015 in San Francisco.
SCM represents 80% of broad market in the cloud
Chorley described the new features and benefits of the 100% cloud-enabled SCM, describing it as a complete solution bundled in way that is user friendly, fast and simple to implement. Meeting customer needs means being able to respond immediately to negative effects around the world and address the individual requirements of each customer.
Following Oracle’s policy, the new SCM is available both on-prem and in the cloud. “The great thing about cloud is that you’re in a long-term relationship with your cloud provider,” said Chorley, who sees this as a positive change for the marketplace.
OracleWorld one of most sustainable events in the industry
As Oracle’s CSO, Chorley has implemented environmentally conscious programs and sees operating a sustainable business as “a successful business strategy.”
“Our goal is to drive down the ratio of running costs to purchase costs,” he said, explaining that that in energy consumption costs, a high-end server costs more to run than it costs to buy. So if a customer factors in power consumption, it is possible to justify changing hardware based on energy savings.
The Oracle datacenter is 50% more efficient than an average datacenter, Chorley said, and he is constantly looking for ways to reduce Oracle’s energy consumption and “make sure Oracle is a good corporate citizen.”
