Oracle announced on Tuesday that it has formed a single R&D network by linking its 19 development and solution centres in Asia Pacific and Japan to build, test, and showcase leading-edge technology innovations across the region.

To date, Oracle has six Oracle Asia Research and Development Centers (OARDC) in Beijing, Gurgaon, Seoul, Shenzhen, Singapore, and Tokyo and 13 solution centres placed strategically across the APAC region. These centres focus on developing cutting-edge solutions for the local markets in addition to contributing to global product development. “This collaboration will enhance our Asia Pacific innovation development process and benefit our customers, partners in this region,” said Kevin Walsh, Chief Technology Officer, Oracle Asia Pacific & Japan.

The OARDCs engage in research, requirements analysis, prototyping and architecture design.
