SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 3, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Oracle OpenWorld -- Oracle today announced that a growing number of independent software vendors (ISVs) are choosing the Oracle Cloud Platform to speed innovation, simplify IT, reduce costs and deliver stellar customer experiences. ISVs who have recently verified support for their applications on Oracle Cloud include Actifio, Altair, Calypso, Citrix, Commvault, DataStax, FireEye, Fortinet, Gemalto, Genestys, Informatica, Kaba Workforce Solutions, Palo Alto Networks, Sage XRT, Symantec and Veritas Technologies.

For independent software vendors (ISVs), selecting the right cloud platform, and the right cloud partner, are critical decisions for their business.

With complete and integrated cloud services, the platform allows business users, developers and ISVs to cost-effectively build, deploy, and manage workloads seamlessly on premises or in the cloud--with superior choice, openness, security and built-in intelligence.
