Oracle's Larry Ellison points to his competitors and says they can't keep up with Oracle's speed and expertise in application development.
At the Oracle OpenWorld conference, the CEO and CTO said in his opening statement that Oracle had rewritten all of its cloud-based applications from scratch in the last 13 years, which sets it apart from all the rest. other suites provided by the competition.
"Each application is designed to work with each other and our Fusion Cloud application suite is designed to run on a Generation 2 cloud platform. We have three cloud application suites: ERP, HCM and CX. We have more applications, more features and more features than any other cloud or on-premises suite," he said.
The Generation 1 cloud places user code and data on the same computers as the cloud control code with a shared CPU, memory, and storage, while the Generation 2 cloud places client code, data, and resources. on a computer without an operating system, keeping the control code of the cloud. a separate computer with a different architecture, plus standalone, integration, and analytics capabilities.
Ellison said the combination of Fusion and NetSuite applications made Oracle the number one cloud ERP provider with 25,000 customers, while Workday came in second with a few hundred customers. in the cloud "We have significant market share and have been building it for two years," he said.
It further said that Oracle had surpassed Workday in cloud human capital management customers and behind its main competitor, Salesforce, in customer experience applications," he said.

Ellison proudly stated that Oracle had the most complete set of desktop and back office applications, all built specifically for the cloud and leveraging the Generation 2 cloud platform.
"Oracle is investing heavily in creating new applications, new technologies to improve these applications," he said.
Pointing to Salesforce, SAP and Workday, he said they didn't have cloud infrastructure to build apps, while Oracle's Fusion apps relied on true cloud infrastructure.
"When we got NetSuite, their apps had multi-tenant features, but it's not the right place for multi-tenant features. Salesforce has multi-tenant features in their apps. Now, with NetSuite in our Generation 2 cloud, the capabilities of multiple tenants are removed from applications so it is a totally secure solution NetSuite will use the multi-tenant capabilities of the underlying database.
"We have a real cloud. We have storage, computing, independent database and machine learning. We can compete with Amazon, Google or Microsoft, but they are not our competitors in the field of commercial applications," he said.

Ellison complimented Salesforce on building their apps, especially for the cloud.
"They came in very early and had been doing it for a long time. They put various rentals into the app business and that's all they could do. Salesforce has built an ability for users to write small programs or through an extensibility platform called Force .com. But Force.com is highly proprietary, limited functionality and only extensions. But they have done it and built it out of necessity," he said.
Workday, which also designed its apps specifically for the cloud, doesn't have Force.com-like capabilities or cloud-focused facilities, he said; but Workday is much better than SAP, which had forgotten to write its apps for the cloud.
However, he said that what SAP was trying to do was convince customers to replace Oracle databases with its HANA technology, but has not updated the actual applications built on HANA for the first time. Cloud Age Your multi-cloud apps are 35 years old. nothing is rewritten
"SAP doesn't have cloud ERP applications or a cloud platform, which is a great opportunity for us. Thanks to SAP for doing it," he said.
Presenting statistics, he said that Oracle had 31,000 cloud application customers for fiscal year 2019, compared to 29,000 for fiscal year 2018, with a growth rate of 339% in five years and a growth of 106% in the number of cloud application products in the last five years.
