Home Technology Cloud HSBC, Oracle announce strategic collaboration Under the multi-year agreement, HSBC will upgrade and migrate select database systems to Oracle Exadata Cloud@Customer by Gulf Business October 19, 2022 Oracle and HSBC have announced a strategic collaboration to accelerate the bank’s digital transformation. Under the multi-year agreement, HSBC will upgrade and migrate select database systems to Oracle Exadata Cloud@Customer, a cloud platform delivered as a managed infrastructure service in HSBC’s data centres. The deployment will support and scale the bank’s mission-critical systems and services. Oracle Exadata Cloud@Customer is an Oracle Cloud Infrastructure service that provides a secure cloud platform that enables HSBC to continue to use Oracle databases in support of its critical systems while retaining control of its data governance, thereby meeting data locality and security regulation. The Oracle platform will also enable HSBC to more easily bring cloud automation to manage legacy applications and scale services according to customer’s emerging demands. “Our strategy is to digitise the bank at scale, so that we can innovate faster for customers, and our collaboration with Oracle is important in advancing this transformation agenda,” said Frank McGrath, chief technology officer, HSBC. “We chose Exadata Cloud@Customer primarily for its ability to offer well known databases, with the benefit of a database-as-a-service platform, giving us the performance and operational agility we need as we continue to grow and diversify our business.” “Financial organisations are rapidly adopting new technologies and transforming their operations as they tap into new market opportunities while meeting more demanding data locality and privacy requirements,” said Richard Smith, executive vice president – Technology – EMEA, Oracle. “Our partnership with HSBC is based on achieving this balance, enabling it to consolidate critical systems on a secure, scalable on-premises cloud platform and develop cloud-based services faster. We look forward to our collaboration with HSBC as we help deliver the next generation of financial services.” Read: Oracle boosts investment in Abu Dhabi with new innovation hub Also read: Oracle’s Dubai cloud region receives DESC certification Tags Banking Cloud HSBC middle eadt Oracle Oracle cloud Technology 0 Comments You might also like WebEngage’s Hetarth Patel on navigating the future of customer engagement These are the technologies reshaping payments, banking in the UAE Eight Sleep expands into UAE, offering smart sleep solutions Thales’ Elias Merrawe on shaping the future of flight
