Oracle in talks with Bharti Enterprises
Oracle India is in talks with Bharti Enterprises to deploy Oralce ‘enterprise application’ in FieldFresh Foods, a venture between Bharti and Del Monte Foods India, reports Business Line.
According to Mr Sengupta, in the last one year Oracle has increased its footprint in the transport sector, including third party logistics companies. It has signed up new clients such as Transport Corporation of India , Blue Dart and AFL. It already has clients like Concor , Gati and Sical Logistics , and these clients have increased their investment in technology to improve customer relationship management and supply chain management, he said.
Mr Sujit Sahu, Director - Supply Chain, Oracle India, said till a year ago logistics companies used 'home-grown' solutions mainly for traceability. However, the transport sector is fast consolidating and large players are entering into specialised areas such as rail management, warehouse management, terminal and port operations. Oracle has solutions for all these, he said.
Oracle has over 24,000 employees in India, a significant portion of its global employee base. The company has invested over $3 billion in the country over the past five years. Its recent deals include BSNL, Genpact, ICICI Bank , Income Tax Department, Idea Cellular , IGNOU, Tata Indicom and Tata Teleservices .
Oracle India has more than 6,500 customers in the telecommunications, banking, insurance, manufacturing and utilities industries, across the government and private sector, says a company press release.
