Oracle<\/a> is launching a rewards programme that promises to help customers speed up their migrations plans, while also reducing their software licensing<\/a> costs.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The programme is aimed at existing customers, who might be enticed into adding to their Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI<\/span>) plans with rewards that reduce or even “eliminate” on-premise tech licensing support bills.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\nThe terms of the scheme promise that all Oracle<\/a> technology license support customers will earn at least 25 cents of Support Rewards for each dollar of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure ‘Universal Credits’ they purchase and consume. These are a form of pay-as-you-go subscription.<\/p>\n

More savings can be had for Oracle’s ‘Unlimited License Agreements (ULA<\/span>)’ customers, who can earn rewards at a 33% rate and potentially eliminate their bill completely by migrating $1.5m of workloads to the Oracle Cloud infrastructure.<\/p>\n

“OCI<\/span> is Oracle’s fastest-growing business because we built a unique Generation 2 cloud infrastructure platform capable of running the most demanding mission-critical workloads faster, more reliably, and more securely than our on-premises systems,” said Oracle CTO<\/span> and chairman Larry Ellison. \u00a0<\/p>\n

“We want to enable more customers to take advantage of our Gen 2 Oracle<\/a> Cloud Infrastructure. Oracle Support Rewards gives customers an easy way to simultaneously reduce their software support spend as they increase the speed of their cloud adoption.”<\/p>\n

The rewards scheme has been launched to help CIOs<\/span><\/a> and IT organisations under pressure to drive company-wide innovations under tight budget restrictions. Oracle has compared them to frequent flyer miles, as a customer’s Support Rewards are automatically added in their OCI<\/span> Console every month, with Rewards applied anytime.<\/p>\n

The support programme has also been praised by IDC’s<\/span> cloud and edge VP Dave McCarthy, who said its transparent pricing was essential in attracting new business and accelerating the adoption of OCI<\/span>. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
