Oracle customers fear Oracle's reaction if they use Amazon's or Microsoft's cloud, survey shows
. App Associates is both a top-tier Oracle partner and an AWS partner.
There are good reasons for companies to move slowly when they're shifting these systems to the cloud. Companies run their businesses on Oracle databases and they worry about everything from downtime to lost data to opening themselves up to hackers. And the terms in Oracle's contract, like other big enterprise vendors, are notoriously complicated. In fact, there's an entire consulting industry called software asset management that helps companies negotiate software contracts and fight audits and audit fees from Oracle and others .
But Oracle's cloud is far behind Amazon's and Microsoft's in terms of market share and the features supported,Still, before Oracle began to view Amazon as a threat, Oracle partnered with Amazon. It authorized Amazon's cloud to sellMore importantly, it also allows Oracle customers to move their existing Oracle apps, databases and data into Amazon's cloud in an Oracle program called Bring Your Own License . Oracle does the same for Microsoft Azure.
So App Associates points out that despite any pressure Oracle customers may feel about having to use Oracle's cloud, it isn't wholly true that they can't use their Oracle software with AWS.
