Ellison Predicts Big Changes Coming to Cloud Market
Although software as a service (SaaS) was the driving force behind Oracle's Q4 revenue and earnings growth, Oracle Executive Chairman and Chief Technology Officer Larry Ellison said during an earnings call with analysts that he expects that Oracle's two other cloud pillars—platform as a service (PaaS) and infrastructure as a service (IaaS)—will become even more powerful growth engines for Oracle than SaaS. Oracle's SaaS revenue grew 67 percent in Q4, to $964 million, reaching $3.2 billion for fiscal year 2017 ended May 3, thanks in large part, Ellison said, to its cloud-based application suites for enterprise resource planning, human capital management, and customer relationship management.
Impressive as that SaaS growth is, Ellison believes that the future of PaaS and IaaS will be even brighter. PaaS and IaaS revenue rose 40 percent, to $397 million, in Q4, reaching $1.4 billion for the fiscal year. See what's driving customer demand. | | — Chris Murphy, Oracle Director of Cloud Content |
