Google Cloud CEO says that he’s borrowing from the Oracle playbook

Google Cloud CEO Thomas Kurian plans to borrow some strategies from Oracle’s strategies to help the search giant catch up to its peers Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure in the cloud wars, he tells the Wall Street Journal. Kurian plans to have Google Cloud massively expand its sales team and develop new technology that allows programmers to develop applications that run on all three clouds — the same way that Java, the Oracle-owned programming language, has become an industry standard, he tells the Wall Street Journal. Kurian estimated to the Journal that Google Cloud’s sales team is only between one-tenth and one-fifteenth the size of the sales teams at Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure.
