As Oracle’s cloud solutions continue to expand across SaaS, IaaS, and PaaS, customers are eagerly evaluating how these offerings can help transform how they run their businesses.

In the Oracle keynote session on Monday, April 23 at 2:30 p.m., Steve Daheb, Senior Vice President for Oracle Cloud, will illuminate how the Oracle Cloud Platform makes it possible for organizations to develop their own unique path to the cloud from wherever they choose—SaaS, PaaS, or IaaS—and share how organizations have designed their unique journeys.
