Key Terms
oracle cloud infrastructure (oci)technical
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) is a collection of remote computing services—like virtual servers, storage, databases and networking—delivered over the internet by Oracle. It lets businesses run applications and store data without owning physical hardware, similar to renting office space instead of buying a building. Investors care because OCI drives recurring revenue, affects profit margins through capital and operating costs, and signals how well a company competes for enterprise cloud customers.
generative aitechnical
Generative AI is a type of computer technology that can create new content, like text, images, or music, on its own. It’s important because it can produce realistic and useful material quickly, which could change how we create art, write stories, or even develop new products. Think of it as a smart robot that can invent and produce things almost like a human.
sovereign cloudtechnical
A sovereign cloud is a cloud computing setup designed to keep data, systems and control within a specific country or legal jurisdiction so that local laws on privacy, security and government access are met. Think of it like storing valuables in a bank branch inside your own country with locked access and national oversight. For investors, it matters because demand, costs, regulatory approval and competitive advantage can be very different for services that meet these local rules.
data residencyregulatory
Data residency describes the country or region where a company stores and processes its digital information, shaped by local laws and technical choices. Think of it like deciding which filing cabinet in which country holds a company’s important papers — that choice affects legal obligations, privacy protections, costs and how easily the company can move or share information. Investors watch data residency because it can create regulatory risk, compliance costs and constraints on expansion or cloud strategy.
Enterprises adopt Oracle cloud and AI services to make key business systems more intelligent, agile, compliant, ISG Provider Lens® report says
SYDNEY--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Enterprises across Asia Pacific are rapidly adopting Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) and Oracle Fusion Applications to modernize legacy systems, strengthen compliance and embed intelligence into core business operations, according to a new research report published today by Information Services Group (ISG) (Nasdaq: III), a global AI-centered technology research and advisory firm.
The 2025 ISG Provider Lens® Oracle Cloud and Technology Ecosystem report for Asia Pacific finds that organizations in the region are advancing cloud strategies as digital transformation initiatives mature and regulatory demands intensify. Enterprises in sectors such as banking, financial services and insurance (BFSI), manufacturing, healthcare, retail and the public sector are using Oracle platforms to fortify operational resilience, increase automation and improve decision-making.
“Enterprises in this region are moving beyond basic cloud migration toward deeper modernization of mission-critical systems,” said Michael Gale, partner and regional leader ISG Asia Pacific. “Many see Oracle cloud solutions and services as powerful tools for improving business performance in increasingly complex and regulated environments.”
Organizations in Asia Pacific are embedding generative AI and agentic automation into Oracle environments to automate finance, human resources, supply chain and customer experience processes, the report says. They are using the new technologies for predictive analytics, intelligent triaging and self-healing operations that reduce manual effort and improve response times. GenAI and agentic AI adoption is shifting from experimentation to production.
Sovereign cloud adoption is expanding across the region in response to data residency and other regulatory requirements, ISG says. Organizations in highly regulated sectors increasingly select Oracle deployment models that allow them to keep sensitive workloads to in-country while maintaining cloud scalability and automation. This approach enables public sector agencies, financial institutions and healthcare providers to modernize services while remaining compliant. Sovereign cloud architectures are becoming central to cloud strategies in markets such as Australia, Singapore and India.
Hybrid and multicloud architectures are now standard for large Asia Pacific enterprises managing diverse workloads and regional operations, the report says. Organizations are positioning OCI alongside other hyperscale platforms for workload portability, unified observability and cross-cloud data pipelines. These hybrid-by-design environments help enterprises balance performance, risk management and cost governance across markets. The model also reduces platform dependency while supporting consistent controls and visibility.
“Oracle Cloud adoption in Asia Pacific reflects a pragmatic focus on control, flexibility and operational value,” said Sonam Chowla, senior lead analyst, ISG Provider Lens Research, and lead author of the report. “Enterprises are aligning cloud architectures with regulatory realities while embedding automation and intelligence where it delivers clear results.”
The report also explores other trends shaping Oracle adoption in Asia Pacific, including increased use of cost governance frameworks and growing demand for modular cloud services among midmarket enterprises.
