INspire HK: Deloitte x Oracle Experience Center launches in Hong Kong

Deloitte and Oracle officially launched the Deloitte and Oracle Experience Center at Hong Kong Science Park on 28 April. The Center will further strengthen their alliance and multi-disciplinary capabilities to help clients across various industries embrace digital transformation and drive efficiency by adopting innovative tech solutions that harness emerging technologies, from AI and machine learning to IoT and cloud computing.

Edward Au, Deloitte China Southern Region managing partner, says, "Digital transformation is among the five focus areas of the INspire HK initiative, which pledges a strategic investment of HKD1 billion over three years. Alliance partners have always been key to our ability to develop digital technology applications and solutions. Deloitte and Oracle are dedicated to enabling clients to tap into the potential of data, technology, and talent to optimize operations, enhance customer experience, and explore innovative directions for growth. Through a wide-range of pioneering innovative technology solutions, the Experience Center provides precise, comprehensive professional support to help clients solve the challenges of this digital age and achieve strategic objectives.”

China’s national 14th Five-Year Plan emphasizes support for Hong Kong to boost its status as a hub for international finance, transport, trade, and international aviation, while strengthening the city’s position as a center for global offshore RMB business, international asset management, and risk management. In Hong Kong, Deloitte and Oracle have been collaborating to service mid-sized and large multinationals in industries from finance to retail to logistics. The Deloitte and Oracle Experience Center will be a collaborative space where specialists from both organizations will work with clients to discover, design, and deliver transformative solutions. Through demos and proof-of-concept workshops, clients will be able to experience a whole host of SaaS, PaaS, and IaaS solutions to visualize their business benefits before investing in full-scale deployment.

"As part of Oracle’s partner-first strategy, we are committed to working with our partners to meet our customers' needs on every step of their digital journeys. Demand for cloud technology, application software, and data management has accelerated, as more and more customers deepen their digital transformation and innovation journey on the cloud," says Adrian Johnston, senior vice president of Applications, Oracle Japan and Asia Pacific. "Having collaborated with Deloitte for over 20 years, the establishment of the Experience Center in Hong Kong marks the beginning of a new chapter in the cooperation between our two organizations. Through Deloitte, we look forward to bringing greater value to our customers, with brand-new digital services and innovative technologies."
