In
2015, Oracle worked toward dynamically priced hotel agreements for certain
brands. It also improved compliance to its lowest-logical-airfare policies and
embarked upon a data-consolidation project, which continues. Oracle revenue for
the fiscal year ending May 31, 2016, fell 3 percent. The company attributed the
decline to currency fluctuations. On a constant currency basis, revenue rose 2
percent and operating expenses rose 4 percent from its prior fiscal year due to
increased sales and marketing activity and to R&D. Much of that expense was
driven by a higher headcount. On the close of its fiscal year, Oracle employed
approximately 136,000 full time. Roughly 38 percent of them were based in the
United States.
