Oracle on Wednesday launched a new service offering free cloud migration assistance to new and existing cloud customers. The new Oracle Cloud Lift Service, which includes access to technical tools and cloud engineering resources, is part of the tech giant’s broader effort to speed up the growth of its cloud infrastructure business.
The new service was created for customers facing some specific perceived barriers to migration, said Vinay Kumar, SVP of Oracle Cloud Engineering. It’s common, he said, for organizations to hold off on moving to the cloud because their IT teams don’t have the necessary skills, the migration would take too long, or moving critical applications would be too risky.
