Texas, April 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Global
businesses across every vertical industry including Conduent,
Vodafone, and Voya Financial are adopting Oracle
Database@Azure to accelerate their cloud migrations. Oracle
Database@Azure delivers all the performance, scale, and
availability advantages of Oracle Database on Oracle Cloud
Infrastructure (OCI) with the comprehensive application and
developer services of Microsoft Azure. It is now available in

Conduent Streamlines Transaction Processing with Oracle
Database@Azure
Conduent (NASDAQ: CNDT) delivers digital
business solutions and services to its clients and the millions of
people who count on them across the commercial, government, and
transportation sectors. To modernize its transportation business,
which processes millions of toll management and billing
transactions per day, Conduent needed a cloud solution that could
streamline transaction flows and minimize latency. By migrating its
on-premises Oracle Exadata environment to the cloud with Oracle
Database@Azure, Conduent has improved application performance and
enabled real-time transaction processing. This has helped Conduent
meet growing demand for its services and improve the experience it
offers to its customers.
"Our customer base of Fortune 100 companies and more than 600
government and transportation agencies depend on us to help
streamline their business processes and end-user interactions,
which makes transaction speed a top priority," said Mark Prout, chief technology and information
officer, Conduent. "With Oracle Database@Azure, we've been able to
leverage cross-cloud low latency to improve application performance
and streamline the management of our IT infrastructure. This helps
us deliver solutions and services that improve clients' operations,
increase efficiencies, reduce costs, and enhance the customer
experience."

Voya Financial, Inc. (NYSE:
VOYA) is a leading health, wealth, and investment company
that provides products, solutions and technologies to 15.2 million

customers and help them achieve better financial outcomes,
Voya needed to migrate its complex, process-intensive
applications and workloads to the cloud. After careful
consideration, Voya selected Oracle Exadata
Database Service to provide the performance, stability, and
resiliency it needed. With Oracle Exadata Database
Service, Voya has been able to advance the delivery of

best-of-breed solutions in their cloud deployments," said
Karan Batta, senior vice president,
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. "With Oracle Database@Azure, customers
are able to move a wide variety of workloads, including mission
critical financial systems and transportation billing systems, to
the cloud. As we see global businesses such as Conduent, Vodafone,
