Its hopes to achieve this by hiring 1400 cloud-focused professionals across Europe, the Middle-east and Africa to boost the adoption of its platform for off-premise services in the region.

The company's chief technical officer (CTO), Larry Ellison, previously declared that the company is on course to book $1.5bn in SaaS and PaaS deals before the end of this present financial year.
To help take advantaged of the demands for the company's cloud services, the company has decided to increase the cloud sales professional it employs, with emphasis on those with at least two years' experience.
The company will recruit 1400 people to work in six locations in Amsterdam, Cairo, Dubai, Dublin, Malaga, and Prague.
To show its seriousness in growing its cloud sales force, Oracles plans to open sales centres in Amsterdam and Cairo in addition to offices in Dubai, Dublin, and Prague.
The new recruits will be responsible for spreading Oracle's portfolio of cloud applications while helping users tailor their Information Technology strategies to include more of off-premise technology, the company said.
The president of the company, Loic Le Guisquet, said the overall aim of the recruitment process is to make sure that their customers are supported every step of the way in the journey to the cloud.
"We are hiring 1400 sharp, ambitious inside sales professionals across Europe, the Middle East and Africa" he said.
