Oracle and Adarga, London-headquartered leader in AI-driven information intelligence, have announced they are partnering to bring Adarga’s Vantage software to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) and Oracle’s distributed cloud. The news comes in the same week the UK government released its AI Action Plan, with the aim of artificial intelligence helping to drive significant change in the European nation.
With the Oracle/Adarga announcement, the two partners aim to help defence and security organisations deliver mission-critical data and insights to the UK and its allies. Adarga Vantage provides analysts, planners, and commanders with the ability to extract, contextualise, and connect information drawn from millions of internal and external sources, in over 75 languages, to enhance defence and security operations. This includes providing search, discovery, and Generative AI capabilities to augment enterprise knowledge and open-source intelligence gathering, and boost decision-making in multi-domain environments.
“Providing our customers with the ability to deploy to OCI further strengthens Adarga’s cloud-anywhere approach,” said Seb Matthews, vice president of mission engineering, Adarga. “This approach is fundamental in today’s increasingly complex operating environment, where defence organisations require technology solutions that offer flexibility, reliability, and security, without the need to be locked into a single provider.”

Deploying Vantage across Oracle’s distributed cloud will enable Adarga customers to maximise the value of their data and make faster and better-informed decisions while addressing security and sovereignty requirements. It will also help customers run operational applications in disrupted, disconnected, intermittent, and low-bandwidth environments.
Adarga will initially deploy Vantage in the Oracle Cloud for UK Government and Defence. Oracle reports it is the only hyperscale cloud provider to offer a dual-region cloud dedicated to UK public sector and defence customers, allowing them to take advantage of OCI’s superior performance and security while maintaining sovereignty of their data. The region is built upon the UK government parameters required to store OFFICIAL-SENSITIVE data, and all Oracle personnel who access such data are UK citizens that have Security Check (SC) clearances.
“Armed forces, government, and defence organisations need to continually access, analyse, and act on intelligence faster than ever as warfare is increasingly fought on a digital battlefield,” said Bram Couwberghs, vice president of defence, Oracle EMEA. “Adarga Vantage on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure brings together a powerful AI-driven solution on an industry-leading cloud and AI infrastructure to help military organisations win.”
Vantage is underpinned by Adarga’s extensible AI platform, which includes a proprietary ecosystem of more than 35 AI models and has been built to deliver rapid AI innovation and adapt to different mission requirements in real-time and on a global scale. With originally British AI companies such as Deepmind now part of the US’s Silicon Valley, the UK’s AI future may rely on intelligent and niche platform vendors such as Adarga partnering with enterprise tech giants such as Oracle.
What this means for ERP Insiders
Enhancing Defence and Security Intelligence: The Oracle/Adarga partnership is set to empower defence and security organisations by delivering mission-critical data and insights. Adarga Vantage enables analysts, planners, and commanders to extract, contextualise, and connect information from millions of internal and external sources across 75+ languages. With advanced search, discovery, and Generative AI capabilities, the platform strengthens enterprise knowledge, open-source intelligence gathering, and decision-making in multi-domain operations.
Cloud Flexibility and Mission-Ready Deployments: Deploying Vantage on Oracle’s distributed cloud will help customers maximize data value, improve decision-making speed, and meet stringent security and sovereignty requirements. The platform also supports operations in disrupted, disconnected, and low-bandwidth environments, a crucial advantage for defence applications.
Oracle’s Role in UK Defence Cloud Infrastructure: Adarga will initially deploy Vantage within the Oracle Cloud for UK Government and Defence, a hyperscale cloud tailored to UK public sector needs. Oracle’s dual-region cloud offers superior performance and security while maintaining sovereignty over sensitive data. With Security Check (SC)-cleared personnel handling OFFICIAL-SENSITIVE data, Oracle ensures compliance with UK government standards. Also, as AI becomes increasingly critical for defence and security, the Oracle-Adarga partnership underscores the UK’s commitment to AI innovation. Adarga’s extensible AI platform, featuring over 35 AI models, is designed for rapid adaptation to evolving mission requirements. With leading UK AI firms like DeepMind now integrated into Silicon Valley, the country’s AI future may hinge on strategic collaborations between domestic AI specialists and global enterprise technology leaders such as Oracle.
