Key drivers for moving to OCI include reducing the total cost of ownership (TCO) and optimizing the application's performance.
1. Modernization
OCI has built-in innovative features that deploy and manage modern applications from on-premises to the cloud; this will drastically reduce the time to build and test new IT environments that help enterprises seamlessly move from on-premises to the cloud.
2. Performance Optimization
Oracle's IaaS second-generation platform offers a consistent and predictable performance, along with the fastest cloud storage, which delivers a diverse range of capabilities unmatched in the industry.

4. Cost Savings
Cloud providers take over maintenance and upgrades which significantly reduce the spending on IT operations. Oracle Universal Credit Pricing (Oracle UC) and Oracle Bring Your Own License (Oracle BYOL) to PaaS two programs makes it simpler and easier for organizations to transition to the cloud.
5. Mission Critical Workloads
Mission critical applications are easily handled by the Oracle Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) and only minimal changes are required to move Oracle applications portfolio efficiently.
6. Management & Governance
Human errors associated with managing infrastructure and applications can be eliminated. Oracle leverages a combination of services for you to choose from that are apt for managing hybrid cloud environments, on-premise environments, Oracle Cloud environments and multi-cloud environments.

OCI supplies the compute, storage, database, networking and platform services. Oracle is planning to infuse the capabilities of emerging technologies - like AI and ML - in all its cloud offerings through its Second-Generation Cloud initiative.
Getting your company future-ready
The evolutionary trend in the way companies operate, especially during the pandemic, shows that companies have been shedding their load to become lighter, faster and more agile; in addition, companies have moved to remote working models with lighter real estate setup. Experts predict that this will be a continuing trend and businesses would need technology to support them in this development.
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) is an IaaS that delivers on-premises with high-performance computing power to run cloud native and enterprise company's IT workloads. Oracle delivers true multi-cloud innovation to the organization.
