Samsung Electronics will strengthen its partnership with the world's top database software vendor, Oracle, to provide cloud-based enterprise system services.
Samsung said Friday the two will also closely work with system integration service providers to support client enterprises in improving their IT infrastructure based on mobile and cloud technologies while retaining the systems they have operated up to now.
"By cooperating with Oracle, Samsung Electronics will support developers and solution providers in developing next-generation smartphone applications and services more conveniently," Samsung Electronics' mobile business division vice president Young Kim said.
Sri Ramanathan, an executive at Oracle, said: "Combining Oracle's mobile cloud services and Samsung Electronics' innovative solution capability, we will further strengthen and simplify our enterprise mobile services."
Samsung Electronics and Oracle have jointly provided the Apache Cordova plug-in, which is a tool that helps enterprise solution developers build mobile apps and sample codes.
Based on the plug-in and sample codes, U.S. system integration service provider AuraPlayer has successfully developed enterprise systems optimized for its major clients, such as New York City's Metropolitan Transportation Authority and Jubilee Life Insurance. AuraPlayer has been a partner of the Samsung Enterprise Alliance Program and Oracle's system integration service.
"On the back of support by Samsung Electronics and Oracle, we have been able to develop integrated mobile solutions for our clients within several weeks," AuraPlayer Chief Executive Mia Urman said.
Samsung Electronics said its system integration service partners, such as HCL Technology, Sofbang and L&T Infotech, will showcase their solutions developed in cooperation with the two IT giants at the Mobile World Congress 2016 in Barcelona next week.
Meanwhile, Samsung Electronics said it will also expand support for Oracle's mobile application framework and Java Script Extension toolkit, as well as Apache Cordova developers' community. Its first Cordova plug-in was introduced last October.
"Samsung Electronics and Oracle are jointly improving the Cordova plug-in and developing sample codes for Oracle's mobile cloud services," Samsung Electronics said.
