Under the agreement, TIM Group plans to utilize advanced cloud infrastructure technologies to support its goal of advancing Italy's digital modernization and establishing its position, through Noovle, as the market reference point for enterprise multicloud services in the country.

The three companies plan to bring their respective assets and expertise to develop and manage multicloud-architecture services for Italian enterprises.

A collaborative model, which includes connecting major cloud providers' platforms in a multicloud environment, will support public and private organizations in addressing the challenges of digital transformation through advanced multicloud services, enabling operational efficiency, lower costs, and high security standards. Oracle's hybrid and multicloud strategy also aligns closely with TIM Group's objectives in ensuring that all customer data is hosted in-country and customers have a cloud solution that meets their data sovereignty needs.

The companies today also announced that TIM has selected Oracle Cloud Infrastructure as part of its multi-cloud strategy to migrate the Group's mission-critical data management workloads to the public cloud.

In addition, TIM Group has selected Oracle Fusion Cloud Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) to optimize its finance and supply chain processes and help grow new revenue streams.

"The collaboration with Oracle is a key element for accelerating our Group's transition to more flexible models and supporting the digitization of businesses and public administration. By adopting a multicloud model, we can enrich our offer of high value-added services, enabling our customers to promptly seize the best business opportunities while simultaneously improving efficiency. This partnership also broadens the portfolio of solutions brought to the market by Noovle along with other major cloud players, facilitating openness, interoperability and flexibility," said Carlo d'Asaro Biondo, CEO, Noovle.

"We are pleased to be working with a major Italian operator in boosting digital innovation and the economic recovery of Italy.
