Recognized for applications expertise

Impressive track record with clients and awards

Continued build out of low-cost delivery resources

NEW YORK, Dec. 22 /PRNewswire/ -- Deloitte has been named a leader in Forrester Research, Inc.'s October 2009 report, The Forrester Wave(TM): Oracle Services Providers, Q4 2009. According to the report, "Deloitte proved its strength through its application expertise, an impressive track record with clients and awards, and its continued build out of low-cost delivery resources." The report is based on a comparative evaluation of the 14 leading global Oracle services provider organizations.

Highlights of the report:

Deloitte:

• is one of the largest Oracle services providers worldwide and a global leader in the Oracle services space with a heavy focus on implementation services (versus support).
• is a particularly strong choice for higher-value engagements, implementations that require process consulting, and transformational engagements.
• received very strong marks from client references on post-implementation capabilities, including training, change management, and skills transfer.
• has a substantial Oracle practice across the "Core Four" Oracle applications -- E-Business Suite, Siebel, JD Edwards, and PeopleSoft -- as well as the suite of specialty/acquisition products.

Quotes from Forrester:

"Deloitte emerged as the strongest Oracle partner for implementation services in North America -- with more client projects than any other firm in that region; an enormous, impressive list of Titan Awards; and overall strong scores on criteria related to pure implementation work (versus support and hosting)."

"Deloitte has nearly 8,000 Oracle resources worldwide with deep and broad industry expertise. The provider excels at strategy consulting and pure implementation work but is increasingly moving into support and maintenance deals as well. Deloitte differentiates through its integrated tax and audit consulting services. Deloitte boasts numerous Titan awards as evidence of its leadership in the market."

Quotes from Deloitte:

"By nature, Deloitte practitioners are pragmatic," said Nidal Haddad, Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu (DTT) Global Oracle Alliance Leader. "Deloitte is focused on empowering their clients' business strategies with the right blend of services, technologies and applications. It's a process of focusing on the things that matter most and then choosing practical ways to get them done."

"Value isn't a term used lightly at Deloitte. This desire to drive value is incorporated into the methodologies used with global Oracle clients," said Paul A. Robinson, DTT Global Technology Leader. "Deloitte's Enterprise Value Maps take industry and sector-specific benchmarks and map them to the Oracle product line - including Oracle Middleware, which helps practitioners target the right investments for their clients, puts the emphasis on business case benefits, and ultimately helps drive measurable results."
