FICO
FICO helps lenders make credit risk decisions across the customer lifecycle.
FICO Decision Management Platform (DMP) allows organizations to have data, decision rules and analytics connected by a single platform that allows customers to share data and decision components across all enterprise applications, across the entire company.
“Running DMP streaming on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure extends our ability to serve the Oracle community while providing the benefits of DMP streaming, reducing time-to-market, performance and scale,” said Doug Clare, vice president of Product Marketing at FICO.
FireEye
FireEye’s deployment of Oracle Cloud helped in improving effectiveness and reducing the complexity of cyber security.
“Oracle Cloud Infrastructure combines the elasticity and utility of a public cloud with the granular control, security and predictability of on-premises infrastructure to deliver high-performing, cost-effective infrastructure services,” Rich Stegina, vice president, Global Strategic Partnerships at FireEye.
KNAPP
KNAPP, a provider of automation solutions for intralogistics and manufacturing, provided a robot solution for Parfums Christian Dior.
“Oracle Cloud gives us a global deployment platform for our new analytics service that is flexible and can grow upon demand as we on board new customers.
