MADRID and AUSTIN, Texas, Sept.
27, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Oracle and Telefonica España
today announced a multi-year collaboration to accelerate the
telecoms company's cloud adoption and the development of new
communication services for consumers and businesses.
Telefonica will migrate the bulk of its Oracle Database systems
to Oracle Exadata Cloud@Customer, building a dedicated cloud
platform on-premises to support provisioning and delivery of new
services, as well as Telefonica's mission-critical operational and
commercial systems including its BSS and OSS platforms and
applications, business intelligence systems, CRM, billing and
revenue management.
The collaboration is part of a multi-year initiative by
Telefonica to consolidate the technology infrastructure that
underpins its communications network into a shared, open-standard
platform designed to support its growing digital services
portfolio, including new services around Internet of Things (IoT)
and 5G, and services co-hosted with ISVs and network partners.
Oracle Exadata Cloud@Customer is an on-premises deployment
option of Oracle Exadata Cloud Service that is delivered as a
managed cloud service in Telefonica's own data centers, enabling
Telefonica to consolidate mission-critical systems in a single
platform while complying with data residency regulations, meeting
latency requirements, and helping to significantly reduce
operational costs.
Oracle plans to provide a secure, highly available platform
based on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) that enables Telefonica
to integrate data across its operations in order to streamline the
development and delivery of new services; augment service
capabilities with technologies such as AI and machine learning; and
allow services to be scaled according to market demand.
"Digitalization and connectivity are reshaping how we work and
live, and Telefonica is transforming its business to support our
customers in this new world. As we tap into these new
opportunities, we need to consolidate and simplify our technology
infrastructure to make us nimbler, more agile and more adaptable,
and this is where our collaboration with Oracle comes in," said
Fidel Jesús Fernández, Director, Technologies and IT
Transformation, Telefonica España. "Oracle Cloud@Customer provides
us with the flexibility we need to build a robust, extensible cloud
platform in our own data centers that is scalable and elastic to
meet the changing needs of our business."
"Telecoms companies are having to reimagine their business
models as they navigate changing customer expectations, capture new
markets and become both service providers and enablers. Telefonica
is one of the companies at the forefront of this change, and we are
excited to bring the power and flexibility of Oracle Cloud@Customer
to support Telefonica and its partners as they deliver the next
generation of digital services to consumers and businesses," said
Albert Triola, Senior Vice President
Support Renewal Sales EMEA & Country Leader, Oracle Spain.
