BOSTON, Oct. 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Apps Associates, the premier mid-market OneOracle partner, today announced that it won two 2026 Oracle Partner Awards in the Multicloud Breakthrough category for North America and EMEA. The company also earned five finalist recognitions across global and regional categories, placing it among a select group of partners recognized for excellence in Oracle technology innovation and delivery. The awards were presented on October 25 during Oracle AI World 2026 in Las Vegas.
Both wins involved modernizing mission-critical systems where business continuity is essential, using Oracle's newest multicloud database services on Microsoft Azure and AWS.
In North America, Apps Associates led the migration of a global entertainment company's Oracle E-Business Suite financial environment to Oracle AI Database@Azure. As an early deployment of Oracle EBS on the newly introduced service, the project required Apps Associates to collaborate closely with Oracle to design and validate an architecture without an established public reference to follow. Completed in seven months, ahead of schedule and within budget, the project achieved 99.999% uptime for finance systems, at least 30% average performance improvement, and hundreds of thousands of dollars in annual operational savings.
In EMEA, Apps Associates helped a global mobility provider modernize its mission-critical reservation platform using Oracle AI Database@AWS. The project included migrating a 35 TB primary database supporting more than 1,400 application servers while preserving the company's existing AWS application environment. The solution delivered up to four times faster performance and was architected to support 99.995% availability under Oracle Maximum Availability Architecture, with rolling patching eliminating planned database maintenance downtime. Beyond the operational improvements, the project helped reshape the customer's long-term technology strategy, making Oracle AI Database@AWS the foundation for future modernization.
“Our teams brought Oracle’s newest multicloud services into production across two regions and two different cloud platforms, supporting mission-critical systems where performance and business continuity are essential,” said Adrian King, CEO of Apps Associates. “That same expertise extends to our work in agentic AI and data intelligence, where we help customers make faster decisions, improve operational efficiency, and get more value from their Oracle investments. We’re proud to be recognized by Oracle for delivering results customers can measure.”
Recognized for Innovation Across the Oracle Ecosystem
Beyond its regional Multicloud Breakthrough wins, Apps Associates earned additional distinction for its work in enterprise AI, data intelligence, multicloud innovation, and Oracle Cloud expertise.
As a finalist for Agentic AI ERP (Global), Apps Associates was recognized for helping a global food distributor deploy AI agents through Oracle Fusion Applications AI Agent Studio. Designed to support product intelligence, product comparison, and materials expiration management, the agents reduced time spent gathering product information by up to 50% and accelerated item and lot expiration management activities by 50%. The customer is now pursuing a phased roadmap to enable 20 AI-powered supply chain agents.
As a finalist for Fusion Data Intelligence (North America), Apps Associates was recognized for transforming enterprise reporting and analytics for a global medical device manufacturer. By implementing Oracle Fusion Data Intelligence alongside Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP, SCM, and CX, Apps Associates helped reduce a key sales reporting cycle from more than 15 days to 5–6 days while reducing the resources required for that reporting process by half. The solution also sharpened visibility across finance, procurement, and supply chain operations, enabling more informed business decisions.
Apps Associates was also named a finalist for Multicloud Breakthrough (Global) and Cloud Certification Rising Star (North America and Global), further underscoring the company's technical expertise and commitment to Oracle Cloud innovation. Backed by more than 1,250 Oracle Cloud and AI certifications, Apps Associates continues to invest in the specialized expertise required to help customers adopt emerging technologies and maximize the value of their Oracle investments.
