Samsung Electronics Standardises Global Software Development on Oracle Java SE Universal Subscription

13 May 2026 | NEWS

Collaboration aims to strengthen security, simplify licensing and support mission-critical semiconductor development across Samsung’s global engineering operations.

Oracle announced that the Oracle Java SE Universal Subscription will help standardise global software development at Samsung Electronics, a world leader in advanced semiconductor technology. With the Oracle Java SE Universal Subscription, Samsung can simplify IT operations and strengthen security by consolidating its global internal application development on Oracle Java.

To continue to expand and support its global workforce, Samsung needed to standardise on a single application development platform for its software development projects. With the Java SE Universal Subscription, Samsung can streamline licensing and address compliance risk, simplify IT operations, and enhance security across its mission-critical operations.

"Adopting the Java SE Universal Subscription reinforces our commitment to providing our internal engineering teams with a secure, reliable, and standardised development environment," said Keun-Ho Lee, executive vice president and head of system development, Samsung Electronics. "Through our collaboration with Oracle Java, we're able to minimise operational risk, streamline license management, and continue our focus on innovation."

Through the Java SE Universal Subscription, Oracle is extending its long-standing relationship with Samsung, supporting Samsung as it strengthens its security and helping it ensure consistent, enterprise-class support across its internal software environment. To help Samsung ensure that sensitive, mission-critical semiconductor development is uninterrupted, the Java SE Universal Subscription will enable its engineers to access the latest security patches, including proactive updates that are part of a more structured security patching system compared to open source alternatives. In addition, Samsung's engineers can benefit from enhanced technical support through the Oracle Java support team.

"Samsung is one of many global organisations that are taking advantage of the Java platform's scalability and reliability," said Mike Ringhofer, senior vice president, worldwide Java business, Oracle. "We are proud to support Samsung's engineering teams as they leverage Oracle Java to help drive advancements in semiconductor technology."
