Oracle Corporation is a multinational technology company that develops and sells database software, cloud engineered systems, enterprise software applications and related services. The company is widely known for its flagship Oracle Database and a portfolio of enterprise-grade software products that support data management, application development, analytics and middleware. Over recent years Oracle has expanded its focus to include cloud infrastructure and cloud applications, positioning itself as a provider of both platform and software-as-a-service solutions for large organizations.
Oracle’s product and service offerings include Oracle Database and the Autonomous Database, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), enterprise resource planning (ERP), human capital management (HCM) and supply chain management (SCM) cloud applications (often grouped under Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications), middleware such as WebLogic, and developer technologies including Java and MySQL. The company also provides hardware and engineered systems—partly the result of its acquisition of Sun Microsystems—and offers consulting, implementation, managed cloud and support services to help customers deploy and operate its technology in on-premises, hybrid and cloud environments.
Founded in 1977 by Larry Ellison, Bob Miner and Ed Oates, Oracle has grown through organic product development and a series of strategic acquisitions. Headquartered in Redwood Shores, California, the company serves a global customer base across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific and other regions. Oracle is publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol ORCL. Current senior leadership includes Chief Executive Officer Safra Catz and co-founder Larry Ellison, who serves as executive chairman and chief technology officer; together they have guided Oracle’s transition into cloud computing while continuing to support its core database and enterprise software franchises.
