“Legacy modernization, AI-enabled workflows, and industry-specific outcomes are shaping demand for Oracle Cloud Applications services as enterprises seek partners that combine domain consulting depth with AI-led execution across the enterprise. The services market, valued at approximately US $18.6 billion and growing at a double-digit rate of around 12%, reflects this shift as service providers restructure delivery from implementation-led models toward integrated practices that combine domain-specific advisory, preconfigured industry IP, and outcome-linked commercial constructs. Stronger alliances with Oracle and hyperscalers, coupled with AI embedded in domain-specific delivery, are emerging as key differentiators, enabling providers to convert platform capabilities into measurable business outcomes for enterprises,” said Yamohiadeen AS, Vice President, Everest Group. “Cognizant’s experience in supporting OCA transformations is complemented by its investments in AI-led delivery platforms such as AppLens™, Ora0, and Neuro AI, which strengthen delivery automation.
