Oracle and Uber announce seven-year strategic cloud partnership

Oracle and Uber have announced a seven-year strategic cloud partnership.

By migrating some of the company’s most critical workloads to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), ride-hailing firm Uber are aiming to modernise its infrastructure while also accelerating a pathway to profitability.

Dara Khosrowshahi, Uber CEO, said: “Uber is revolutionizing the way people, products, and services move across continents and through cities.

“To deliver on that promise for customers while building value for shareholders, we needed a cloud provider that will help us maximize innovation while reducing our overall infrastructure costs. Oracle provides an ideal combination of price, performance, flexibility, and security to help us deliver incredible customer service, build new products, and increase profitability.”

Safra Catz, Oracle CEO, said: “Uber is expanding into a ‘go anywhere, get anything’ platform, and the company needed a cloud partner that shares a relentless focus on innovation.

“This landmark competitive win for OCI is further validation of the momentum and acceleration we are experiencing in the market. Enterprises, governments, and startups around the world are recognizing the differentiation of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure and experiencing our performance, security, and economic benefits versus other hyperscalers.”
