Founded in 1977 by three engineers - Larry Ellison, Bob Miner and Ed Oates - in a 900-square-foot office in Santa Clara, California, the firm has grown from a Silicon Valley start-up into a global technology business operating in 97 countries and employing 162,000 people worldwide.

The company reports annual revenue of $57 billion and has more than four decades of continuous operation. Its technical work spans relational databases, cloud infrastructure, autonomous database technology, AI-powered cloud applications and enterprise software.

Oracle's enterprise solutions are used across healthcare, financial services and government, as well as the database and enterprise software sector more broadly. The company describes its mission in terms of helping people see data in new ways, discover insights and unlock possibilities - a thread it traces back to its engineering-led founding.
