The "buying experience" for Oracle Cloud solutions has not been very cloud-like until now. Most services did not have the "Buy Now" button that other cloud vendors offer, but instead a list of phone numbers (yes, really!) for local Oracle sales offices. In effect, you could not buy an Oracle Cloud service until your local Oracle rep was in the office. That's set to change with what Oracle calls the " Accelerated Buying Experience ." It seems that we will actually be able to buy Oracle cloud offerings without having to be subjected to a lengthy sales talk for whatever product pays the most bonus this month. I'm looking forward to it.
