Better Partnering with Oracle, Better Solutions for Our Customers

October 13th, 2009 by Robert McMillen • No Comments »

As an Oracle Partner, SSG Limited supports our many clients by relying on the access that our partnership relationship provides.

At Open World, this year, Oracle is announcing some changes to their Partner Program.  The new program is major evolution in the Oracle PartnerNetwork (OPN) and is called OPN Specialized.   It will add a formal process to recognizing specialization in key Oracle products and solution areas.  Oracle Partners will achieve Specialization in specific areas through competency, business results, expertise and proven success.  The benefit to Oracle customers is that this Specialization will:

  • Enables partners to differentiate themselves in the marketplace
  • Allows Oracle to recognize partners that have invested in the Oracle portfolio and have the competency to support joint customers
  • Provides customers with the ability to select preferred partners with validated skills and experience to provide the best solutions to their business problems
Oracle intends to offer over 50 specializations by the end of the fiscal year.  Additionally, OPN Specialized will also deliver new tools to aid partners, including a new partner ordering portal, an improved enablement environment for training, a new marketing events calendar, and an enhanced Solutions Catalog.
The rollout of OPN Specialized will become effective December 1, allowing time for partners to learn about the new program and prepare for the transition.

SSG Limited will be working through the Specialized process and we will provide updates later this Fall.  We are pleased that Oracle is also providing increased opportunity for partners to benefit from anytime, anywhere connection to Oracle and its 21,000 partner members via social networks, including conversation on OPN on Oracle Mix, OPN on Twitter, OPN on Facebook, OPN on LinkedIn and OPN on YouTube.
