Oracle to Ramp Up Employee Strength to Support New Projects

As per the ET Telecom report on the matter,  Shailender Kumar, managing director at Oracle India remarked that Oracle Corp has been the government’s partner for the last three decades on various occasions and the new empanelment by the IT ministry would allow the company to help the government and PSUs in accelerating the speed in which they undergo a digital transformation.
