In this sponsored episode of Cloud Wars Live, I interview two executives from Apps Associates – an expert in cloud migration, and a managed services provider – in a program that debunks the top five myths about Oracle migration. They are:

1. It’s too difficult to navigate license compliance
2. It’s not feasible to move Oracle applications to the cloud
3. Cybersecurity concerns outrank cloud benefits
4. My company can’t afford cloud migration
5. Oracle applications users have limited cloud options

Among the topics discussed are how change management is preventing companies from moving forward, how you’re not more likely or less likely to get audited if you transition to a third-party cloud, and how on-prem is more likely to cause a data breach – usually from within.

The executives are Bill Saltys, SVP, Alliances; and Paul Vian, SVP, Sales and Marketing.
