Oracle Soar: Migration to Cloud
What is Oracle Soar?
Oracle Soar to the Cloud is the world’s first automated oracle cloud migration offering that enables Oracle customers to move from on-premise Oracle applications to Oracle Fusion Cloud Platform. It will help customers save time, cut costs, and stay focused on business. According to Oracle, this is the last upgrade that customers ever need to do.

Oracle Soar will reduce the time and cost of cloud migration by 30 percent and the migration of any on-premise Application to Oracle cloud will take maximum 20 weeks’ time. Basically, it is an end of manual complicated migration and up-gradation, thanks to Oracle Soar – An automated Migration to Cloud Solution.
