The Role of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure in Building Cloud-Native Applications for Supply Chains

Abstract

The way we manage supply chains has really changed over time, moving from traditional methods to more advanced cloud-native solutions that handle today’s complex global operations. One standout player in this space is Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). It's a powerful platform that helps businesses create and run cloud-native applications specifically designed for their supply chain needs. In this study, we delve into how OCI is transforming supply chain processes. It leverages features like high-performance computing, an autonomous database, and Kubernetes-based containerization, along with various integration tools. Through a mix of qualitative and quantitative analyses from real-world use cases, we showcase the benefits that OCI brings to the table in terms of scalability, efficiency, and cost savings. Our findings shine a light on how OCI enables real-time data processing and predictive analytics, allowing businesses to make informed decisions quickly. It also makes it easier to integrate different parts of the supply chain, all while addressing important concerns like security and compliance. Overall, this research highlights the potential of OCI to reshape supply chain management, and it opens up exciting avenues for exploring new technologies within the OCI ecosystem.
