Oracle extends AT&T cloud deal

Oracle has extended its cloud agreement with AT&T for another five years.

The move will give new capacity and capabilities for AT&T’s database and application workloads running in Oracle Cloud, the company said.

This includes building on its use of enterprise resource planning (ERP), customer experience (CX) management, and Oracle’s cloud infrastructure (OCI) offering.

Jon Summers, senior vice president of information technology at AT&T said: “We’ve worked closely with Oracle on some of our toughest technology challenges over the years, and we’re excited to renew this collaboration for another five years.”

As part of the move, ERP will enable AT&T to eliminate manual processes as part of the company’s ongoing financial and supply chain transformation.

Oracle executive vice president Jonathan Tikochinsky said: “AT&T is continually reinventing itself to better connect people and businesses, and we’re proud to extend our partnership to support that connectivity.

“By using Oracle Cloud Infrastructure and Oracle Fusion Applications, AT&T is able to continue scaling globally and adapting to the evolving telecommunications market.”
