SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 21, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Oracle
OpenWorld -- Oracle Corporation today announced that its Cloud
infrastructure solutions are helping Grant Thornton LLP—a leading
accounting and consulting firm—match its professionals to its
clients' needs by providing a platform to tap large volumes of
in-house workforce data.
To accomplish this, Grant
Thornton and Oracle have deployed an analytics solution on
Oracle Public Cloud – an effort that has unified Grant Thornton's data sources, increased its
data confidence and reduced data bottlenecks.
"We turned to Oracle because we wanted to tap big data to more
effectively get the right client-service professionals in the right
roles," said Grant Thornton Chief
People and Culture Officer Pamela
Harless. "The ability to pair the correct people with
carefully aligned projects is critical in the highly competitive
world of professional services – and it's why we chose an
integrated Oracle Cloud infrastructure and analytics
environment."
According to Harless, Oracle Cloud maximized value and
accelerated adoption through the Oracle Accelerated Buying
Experience, which enabled Grant
Thornton to procure the Cloud services quickly and easily –
keeping the firm on track to meet its aggressive deployment
timeline.
"We are excited about this partnership with Grant Thornton. The solution they built
underlines the power, flexibility and agility of the Oracle Cloud
Platform," said Don Johnson, vice
president of product development at Oracle. "This partnership is an
example of the modern investments we are making in building the
next generation storage platform."
Grant Thornton and Oracle hope to
continue their collaborative relationship by jointly bringing
similar workforce-analytics and big-data offerings to the
marketplace.
