Transformed Data Center Operations
Oracle honors organizations that transformed their data center operations across both Oracle and non-Oracle applications. Often this includes exiting one or more data centers. These solutions delivered higher performance at lower cost than alternatives, frequently without rearchitecting applications.
Excellence in Application Modernization
Oracle honors organizations that successfully moved Oracle and non-Oracle applications. Sometimes these deployments minimize rearchitecting applications, while in other cases they involve modernizing the application to new software versions or cloud services. They deliver higher performance at lower cost than alternatives.
Innovation in Use of Data
Oracle honors organizations that changed their own products, services, or processes by using their data in new ways. These deployments use Oracle Cloud to derive new value for the business from new or existing business data.
Best Use of AI and ML
Oracle honors organizations that transform their products or services with artificial intelligence (AI) or machine learning (ML) on Oracle Cloud. These solutions enable the business to provide new solutions for their customers, create new value for their business, or meaningfully enhance and transform existing activities.
