| | Editor's Note | | Better Ways to Buy Cloud Services
Oracle Chairman and Chief Technology Officer Larry Ellison recently unveiled new ways to buy and use cloud services from Oracle. One new program, Universal Credits, gives customers access to all current and future Oracle platform-as-a-service and infrastructure-as-a-service offerings under a single contract. So instead of having to specify up front what service they want to buy, customers have the freedom to "expand, move, cancel, try new things," Ellison said. "You have complete flexibility." Another new option, called Bring Your Own License, lets customers apply licenses they own for on-premises software toward the equivalent Oracle PaaS services. Both innovations are part of Oracle's ongoing bid to "completely transform the way companies buy and use the cloud," he said.
Ellison will take the stage October 1 at the Oracle OpenWorld conference, where he will share other product innovations, including details about Oracle's new, autonomous, self-driving database that slashes the costs and errors that come with human database management. | — Jeff Erickson, Oracle Editor at Large
