The Oracle PartnerNetwork will empower your company with exceptional resources to distinguish your offerings from the competition, seize opportunities, and increase your sales:

  • Deliver “out of the box” end to end integration to your customers – by leveraging pre-built solutions at the data, process and UI level delivering a more complete process solution to business end users. Access OPN Education Benefits to train your staff on Oracle’s AIA and SOA offerings.
  • Build, deploy, and sell more complete solutions – by leveraging Oracle Application Integration Architecture Foundation Packs, providing a common integration framework, with pre-built components and methodologies that are designed to work together in a mix and match fashion. Build integrations for configurability and ultimately lower the cost of IT – build, extend, reuse and maintain integrations.
  • Increase your services margin and expand your capacity to close deals. Oracle Application Integration Architecture enables companies to optimize the value of their existing applications by enabling end to end business process solutions.
  • Reduce implementation risk and cost – by leveraging Oracle’s pre-built, sustainable integrations that enable rapid integration with existing business processes. Explore Application Integration Architecture for Partners initiative which provides partners several tools and methodologies for integrating with Oracle’s broad portfolio of applications

    July 30, 2010 Leave a comment

    What a superb year 2009 working with you….Yes the economy is hard! Many of our joint customers face challenges and reduce their IT budgets. And the SOA business? We continue to grow our joint SOA business. Which proves that our joint customers need SOA to reduce their cost. Our most successful customers are those who improve their processes to adopt to the economic climate and get competitive benefits. This will help them also to become ready when economy is back on the growth track. Yes we can see that our successful SOA customers do grow and increase profitability!

    One example of a successful SOA implementation, many of our German partners and our core team was involved, is “Kabel Deutschland” – “Kabel Deutschland Continues To Post Strong Growth“. Kabel Deutschland implemented Oracle SOA Suite to make their backend systems more flexible.

    In 2010 the SOA journey continues they will roll out additional services and process and might want to adopt in WebLogic and our new features like SCA in SOA Suite 11g and OER. You as our partners will generate additional service revenue during those implementations.
