AI Services

OCI (Oracle Cloud Infrastructure) is a remotely hosted datacentre which can provide virtual hardware within seconds. It comes with an uncluttered, clear and easy to use portal, for managing costs and OCI’s multiple services. With built-in AI capabilities, OCI offers intelligent solutions that enhance performance and efficiency.

One of the primary benefits of OCI is its flexibility in scaling. If you need an Autonomous Database, a few clicks, and it’s there. If you need a storage volume for your Compute Virtual Machine, it’s there in moments.

This ability to scale-up and scale-down with ease, ensures that you only pay for what you consume.

OCI is a cost-effective solution for cloud services, offering significant savings compared to similar alternatives. Our customers benefit from competitive pricing, making OCI an attractive option for businesses looking to maximise their IT budget without compromising on performance or features.

At Namos, we pride ourselves on our OneTeam partnership approach. We engage with our clients in a partnership through every stage of their cloud journey. From discovery and proof of concept to development, testing and production, we ensure a stable and reliable journey.

Our team encourage “How Do I?” questions. This is a style of question that is typically thought about in the mind of a customer, after initial set up and training. We understand that people may need reminders on how to carry out certain processes, especially if they are infrequent. Our facilitation of “How Do I?” questions can really help clients get the most out of their Oracle investment.

Additionally, we offer a fully Managed Service for your Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. This can either be done via you hosting directly with Oracle, or we can act as a Cloud Manager Service Provider (CMSP) and look after the entire estate.

Namos has exceptionally skilled and highly experienced staff of Oracle Database specialists that have a proven track record of offering Oracle support built around our customers’ needs.

Transitioning to Autonomous Databases (ADB) with Namos offers multiple benefits such as a 20% reduction in direct costs and 70% reduction in indirect costs, reducing carbon emissions, access to the OCI marketplace, and eliminating stress!

Our team conduct Database Optimisations and Health Checks ensuring your system remains stable and efficient.

After implementation, we can offer a comprehensive Managed Service that include proactive and remote updates, freeing up your resources and allowing your team to focus on core business activities.

Oracle Integration Cloud (OIC) is a reliable and robust system integration platform that enables businesses to achieve their hyperautomation ambitions. The iPaaS comfortably sits in Gartner’s top right quadrant and enables businesses to seamlessly integrate multiple sources, whilst enabling process and Business to Business automation. This means you can integrate all areas of operations, along with integrating with partner companies such as suppliers.

OIC has 75 out-of-the-box and pre-built adapters to work with, and Visual Builder allows for custom integrations to be built using user friendly, low-code, drag and drop experience.

As an Oracle certified partner, we can help you reach your hyperautomation ambitions, where every facet of your business is communicating and streamlining processes.

Managed within the OCI console, Identity and Security is handled using Oracle’s Identity and Access Management service (IAM), which was previously known as Oracle Identity Cloud Service (IDCS).

Case uses have shown IAM to be significantly more cost-effective than alternative security systems, sometimes a reduction in costs of over 90%.

Our extensive experience puts us at the forefront of IAM utilisation in the UK and globally. Our ability to listen to and understand our customers and their business needs, allows us to recommend what is, and what isn’t needed in their business, as well as implement tailored out-of-the-box solutions.

IAM excels at handling non-corporate external users such as volunteers and partners, and it includes fantastic features such as Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) and adaptive security. IAM has excellent usability and configuration controls, and can be integrated within Fusion, EPM, APEX and the wider Oracle ecosystem, all whilst adhering to your corporate branding.

DevOps has become an essential part of IT for many organisations. Namos are experts in utilising DevOps practices for efficient and effective development and operations.

We use Oracle’s Container Engine for Kubernetes (OKE) to ensure high availability with zero downtime during deployments. Kubernetes is an ISO-compliant (ISO-IEC 27001, 27017, 27018) and Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) certified open-source system, that allows for seamless updates and robust maintenance, coupled with reduced deployment risk and reduced instances of human error.

With CI/CD you can automate deployments to environments and integrations. This allows changes in the code to be made quickly, with rapid testing and deployment. Ultimately this frees up resources and eliminates repetitive tasks reducing risk. A single administrator can manage multiple projects.

With Oracle Cloud Expertise, Namos can handle the implementation, set up, and management of all DevOps processes and technology, whilst adhering to best practices and industry standards. Feel free to contact us and we’d be happy to discuss any of our processes in more detail and how these can fit with your requirements.

After initial implementation, every enterprise system has additional needs for creating extension processes for their unique needs. At Namos, our experts can use Oracle Tooling such as APEX and Visual Builder (VBCS) to efficiently develop customer extension applications.

Our consultants work closely with your teams and the Oracle software to create new business processes that save time and money.

We embrace the principle of the ‘Art of the Possible’ and have developed multiple applications that extend Oracle SaaS offerings, which drive UK industries forward and meet our customer’s needs.

AI is built already built into OCI, and Namos can help you unlock this powerful technology today!
From enabling AI within Redwood Fusion Applications to standalone OCI AI Services, we bring a pragmatic, use-case-led approach to implementing AI that works.

Oracle SCM Cloud

Supply Chain Management (SCM) Cloud

Gartner Predicts 2018: Future of Supply Chain Operations paints a picture of a world where technology innovation — from artificial intelligence to Blockchain — is intertwined with supply chain management (SCM) strategy and operations.  This means SCM is on its way to becoming technology-centric as opposed to simply technology-enabled.

Oracle Supply Chain Management Cloud (SCM) is the only supply chain management solution that lets businesses build tomorrow’s digital supply chain, today. Oracle SCM Cloud manages the complex and demand-driven marketplace of the future with a digital thread of end-to-end business technology that takes companies beyond traditional supply chain operations and into integrated business planning. Fully extendible to utilise emerging technologies, Oracle’s digital supply chain offers an architecture that supports AI, Blockchain, IoT, and machine learning, and meets the challenges of the 4th industrial revolution without the need for costly consultants or upgrades.

“There is no doubt that deploying innovative technology can improve efficiency and customer service, and can help raise maturity and transform supply chains. For example, 90% of companies operating at stages four or five maturity levels outperform their peers, and many are considered industry leaders.”

– C. Dwight Klappich
Research Vice President, Gartner

Project Portfolio Management (PPM) Cloud

Project management is changing. Expectations are different for project organisations and yesterday’s project tools are no longer adequate. Today, organisations are expected to empower teams and deliver projects faster and with greater value for customers.

  • Do your team members have project-based social network tools to collaborate on tasks?
  • Do you have the financial tools you need to manage project budgets, costs and contracts?
  • Do you have the ability to effectively analyse project performance and cost trends?

Oracle has a modern, cloud-based project management solution built for today’s projects. Project teams collaborate and achieve better results with mobile and social tools that match the way they work.

And, by combining project management with ERP, the business uses real-time performance and cost insight to deliver projects better and faster for customers.
