Want to receive the Crimson Consulting Group whitepaper “Oracle SOA vs. IBM SOA: Customer Perspectives on Evaluating Complexity and Business Value”? Make sure you attend our Webcast

In this whitepaper Crimson estimated that Oracle SOA Suite can offer up to a 50-60% labor cost advantage over IBM’s SOA product portfolio. The conclusions were based on in-depth interviews of eight IT professionals with at least three years’ experience of SOA development: 3 interviewees had worked only with Oracle products, 2 only with IBM products, and 3 had experience with both. Through these interviews Crimson found that Oracle SOA Suite is a lot easier to use and has lower cost of ownership compared to IBM. It’s due to the following reasons:

  • IBM’s SOA portfolio comprises many more products than Oracle’s SOA Suite, with frequent duplication or overlap of functionality.
  • The number of steps involved for fundamental operations tended to be higher for IBM, sometimes dramatically so.clip_image004
  • The amount of time needed for a given operation tended to be higher for IBM—and often, the difference in time was much greater than that between the number of steps.
  • Interviewee judgments of operations complexity and the skill level required are also against IBM.

Value of SOA Specialization interview with Thomas Schaller IPT – part III

February 21, 2011 1 Comment

Recognized by Oracle, Preferred by Customers.TSC_New
We had the great opportunity to interview Thomas Schaller – Partner from our SOA Specialized Partner IPT Innovation Process Technology from Switzerland

Why did IPT decide to become SOA Specialized?
” SOA Specialization is a great branding for IPT. We are the SOA Specialists in the Swiss market, as we focus all our services around SOA. With 65 Swiss consultants focused on SOA Security & SOA Testing & BPM – Business Process Management & BSM – Business Service Modeling the partnership with Oracle as the technology leader in SOA is key, therefore it was important to us to become the first SOA Specialized company in Switzerland. As a result IPT is mentioned by Gartner as one of eight European SOA Consulting Firms and included in „Guide to SOA Consulting and System Integration Service Providers“

Can you describe the marketing activities with Oracle?
Once a year we organize the largest SOA Conference in Switzerland “SOA, BPM & Integration Forum 2011“ Oracle is much more than a sponsor for the conference. Jointly we invite our customer base to attend this key event. The sales teams address jointly their most important prospects and customers. Oracle supports us with key speakers who present future directions of the Oracle SOA portfolio like Clemens Utschig-Utschig who presented details about the Complex Event Processing (CEP) solution in 2009 and James Allerton-Austin who presented details about the social BPM solution (BPM) in 2010. Additional our key customers presented their Oracle SOA success stories.

How did you team with Oracle around the sales activities?
“Sales alignment is key for the successful partnership. When we achieved! SOA Specialization we celebrated jointly with the Oracle and IPT middleware sales team. At the Aperol may interesting discussions resulted in joint opportunities and business.

A key section of our joint business planning are marketing and sales activities. Together we define campaign topics and target customers. Matthias Breitschmid our superb Oracle partner manager ensures that the defined sales teams align and start the joint business. Regular we review our joint business plan with the joint management teams and Jürgen Kress our EMEA Oracle Sponsor. It is great to see that both companies profit from each other and we receive leads from Oracle!”

Did you get Oracle support to train your consultants in the Oracle SOA Suite?
“Enablement is key for us to deliver successful SOA projects. Together with Ralph Bellinghausen from the Oracle Enablement team we defined an Oracle trainings plan for our consultants. The monthly SOA Partner Community newsletter is a great resource to get the latest product updates, webcasts and trainings. As a SOA Specialized partner we get also invited to the SOA Blackbelt trainings, this trainings are hosted by Oracle product management where we get not only first hand information we get also direct access to the developers who can support us in critical project phases. Driven by the customer success we have increased our Oracle SOA practice by more than 200% in the last years!”

Why did the customer decide for the IPT SOA offering?
“SOA Specialization becomes a brand for customers, it proofs that we have the certified SOA skills and that IPT has delivered successful Oracle SOA projects. Jointly with Oracle and all the support we get from marketing, sales, enablement, support and product management we can ensure our customers to deliver their SOA project successful!”

What are the next steps for IPT?
“SOA Specialization is a super beneficial for IPT. We are looking forward to our upcoming SOA, BPM & Integration Forum 2011 and prepare to become BPM Specialized.
