ABOUT IAN HOWARD
As the System Sales Consulting Director, I oversee a strong team of experts dedicated to sourcing the right cloud, hybrid cloud and on premises infrastructure solutions for our customers. The digital/physical revolution is transforming how we do business and how customers expect to interact with us. At the heart of the issue is data and the ability to leverage it to make better and faster decisions that impact everything from the customer relationship to the overarching corporate strategy. To evolve into an extreme performance organisation that can take advantage of the digital transformation a radical rethink of traditional IT deployments is needed. Cloud is the new normal to enable this transformation so it is essential to have an IT strategy that embraces a fully integrated, flexible and secure Cloud. The ability to provide this true Cloud environment from Infrastructure to Applications is what sets Oracle apart.Oracle is the only provider to offer infrastructure as a service, database as a service, software as a service and platform as a service in the Public Cloud, Private Cloud, On Premises and Cloud at CustomerFor as long as I can remember, IT have had to work with different solutions from different vendors – databases, storage, networking, components, and software – and figure out how to make them work together with the advent of Hybrid Cloud services this complexity is massively magnified with organisations wrestling with how to provide flexible services that can be deployed in, and move between, Public Cloud, Private Cloud and On-Premises. For those deploying cloud services, the ability to deliver fast performance with the right service levels, security and legislative compliance for all workloads, requires the ability to deploy quickly between Public, Private Cloud and On-Premises, using Oracle’s Cloud solutionsThis radical shift in focus is allowing IT to match the desired pace of business and achieve real competitive advantage.
