Dozens of Oracle Partners gathered to learn about the company's latest database cloud services that will help them migrate database from on premise to the cloud for achieving new levels of efficiency, security, and availability.

Thamer Alharbi, Country Managing Director - Saudi Arabia, Oracle commented: "Organizations in Saudi Arabia realise that cloud adoption offers them speed, value and better ROI. The workshop hosted today is in line with our commitment to further drive this interest and support our customers in their journey to the cloud".

"At Oracle, we believe that cloud technology will play a vital role in driving Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 Economic Diversification Plan and with our completely integrated cloud platform that spans all layers of the cloud, we are uniquely poised to help organisations in Saudi Arabia transition to the cloud".
