Telefónica Tech has partnered with Oracle to offer cloud platform-as-a-service and applications to enterprises and public sector organisations across its customer base.
The partnership will allow Telefónica Tech to provide Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) services, as part of its managed cloud services portfolio.
Currently, Telefónica Tech offers a broad portfolio of managed and professional cloud services, including infrastructure- and platform-as-a-service offerings.
OCI is said to facilitate advanced cloud infrastructure for mission-critical and cloud-native workloads in large enterprise and public sector environments.
Telefónica Tech cybersecurity and cloud CEO María Jesús Almazor said: “One of the key drivers for success in the cloud market is to help our customers in their digital transformation by offering a complete and differential portfolio with the support of reference partners.
“This agreement with Oracle will allow us to expand our cloud services and strengthen our strategic positioning in PaaS, as well as reinforce our value proposition in databases and middleware applications with one of the market leaders.”
Telefónica will also be the host partner for the Oracle Cloud Madrid Region, which is expected to deliver a range of cloud services for business and public sector customers in Spain
The region will also support the business continuity of customers and address their in-country data residency and compliance requirements.
The Madrid region, which is Oracle’s first cloud region in the country, is expected to be one of at least 44 cloud regions that are planned to be opened by the US-based technology company by the end of this year.
Recently, Telefonica España has entered into a multi-year collaboration with Oracle to develop new communication services for consumers and businesses.
The partnership is also aimed at migrating the operator’s mission-critical commercial and operational systems, including its BSS and OSS platforms and applications, business intelligence systems, CRM, billing and revenue management, to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.
