SAN FRANCISCO, USA: With the proliferation of cloud, mobile, and social technologies, organizations want easy access to innovative, trusted business applications. To meet this demand from customers and create new opportunities for partners, Oracle has introduced the Oracle Cloud Marketplace.

The Oracle Cloud Marketplace is the latest addition to the Oracle Cloud, the industry's broadest enterprise-grade public cloud, including Application, Social, Platform, and Infrastructure services. It brings a new cloud applications distribution channel to Oracle partners, enabling them to reach Oracle's customer base and a larger market, grow their business, and extend their success in the cloud.

Featuring more than 100 business applications developed by Oracle partners, the Oracle Cloud Marketplace enables Oracle Cloud customers to easily browse, evaluate, and buy trusted business applications.
