BotSupply CEO Francesco Stasi had just finished demonstrating his company’s chatbot technology at a conference in Copenhagen, Denmark when he was approached by an attendee from Oracle, who told him the software giant was building out its intelligent virtual assistant platform.
The Oracle staffer convinced Stasi that the company could support BotSupply’s software, which helps businesses build multilingual chatbots, in the Danish language—a rarity in 2017. The startup and software giant soon struck a deal and by 2018 BotSupply had migrated from Google Cloud Platform (GCP) to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), slashing its computing costs by as much as 70%, Stasi says.
