Outline Global sees 30% revenue boost with Oracle tech

Outline Global, a Melbourne-based aerial intelligence firm, has adopted Oracle Database 23ai on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) to enhance its GtechTM platform, delivering refined data insights to governmental and critical industry sectors.

The company's transition from on-premises infrastructure to Oracle's cloud-based solution aims to streamline operations and manage expansive imagery data more efficiently. Since implementing Oracle Database 23ai, Outline Global has reported a 30% increase in revenue and a 50% expansion in its lead generation pipeline, attributing these improvements to the AI-enabled capabilities of the system.

Established in 2009, Outline Global serves a variety of Australian sectors including agriculture, mining, and urban development. The company identified the need for more sophisticated infrastructure to support containerisation, developer extensions, and advanced business intelligence tools, leading them to select Oracle Database 23ai. This decision facilitates better operational efficiency, security, and management of their extensive geospatial datasets.

Kevin Kwok, Head of Growth at Outline Global, stated: "Integrating ground-breaking innovative technologies to deliver data-intensive geospatial insights is the cornerstone of our business strategy and enables us to stay ahead of the competition. Oracle Database 23ai with AI Vector Search has been a game-changer. It has enabled us to deliver faster, more reliable data and analytics services, which has helped our customers to make critical planning and policy decisions with enhanced geospatial insights. As a result, we've seen a 30% increase in revenue and 50% growth in our lead generation pipeline."

The AI Vector Search features of Oracle's database allow for searching complex spatial images based on conceptual content rather than predefined pixel arrays, which enhances the accuracy and relevance of search outcomes. Customers benefit from the ease of accessing and analysing spatial data using natural language interfaces, facilitated by large language models (LLMs).

The integration of business and vector data within Oracle Database 23ai enables continuous innovation for Outline Global without compromising data security. This avoids the challenge of data fragmentation typically presented by moving data between specialized vector databases and general-purpose databases.

Stephen Bovis, Regional Managing Director for Oracle in Australia and New Zealand, commented: "Oracle's cloud and AI services offer Australian businesses of all sizes a powerful opportunity to boost productivity and unlock innovation. By leveraging OCI's high-performance architecture and Oracle Database 23ai, Outline has enhanced predictive analytics, optimised workflows, and accelerated data-driven decision-making. Outline's adoption of Oracle Database 23ai with AI Vector Search exemplifies how embracing cutting-edge technologies can help startups thrive and shape the future of key Australian industries."
