Oracle Partners Accelerate Innovation and Customer Success in the Cloud with Oracle

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 19, 2016 Available to partners with the skills and infrastructure to build, deploy, run and manage both Oracle and non-Oracle workloads, the program enables OPN members to offer a complete managed service solution for workloads running on Oracle Platform as a Service and Infrastructure as a Service.

The partner will be able to buy Oracle Cloud Platform based on the unique needs of the customer, package their MSP services, and sell the integrated solution through a streamlined business model. Partners reap the benefits of building their services on a world-class Cloud infrastructure and customers get the complete solution they need to optimize their Cloud initiatives – helping reduce risk, cost and complexity.

Early partners participating in the program include Accenture, Atos, Capgemini, Cognizant Technology Solutions, Deloitte Consulting, LLP, Dimension Data, Fujitsu, Hitachi Consulting, Infosys Limited, PwC, Tata Consulting Services, Tech Mahindra Limited, and Wipro Limited.

"Cloud represents a huge opportunity for our partner community and Oracle will continue to innovate new programs and offerings that help them grow and thrive in the Cloud," said Sanjay Sinha, vice president, Platform Products, Oracle. "The new MSP program is a win-win for our customers and partners, as it enables us to work in tandem to provide the solutions and services needed to accelerate time to value and success in the Cloud."

Sample services provided by Oracle Cloud MSP partners can include: cloud advisory, service migration, DevOps, provisioning and orchestration, monitoring, incidence and change management, and Cloud optimization, among many others.

"Cloud represents the new tech battle ground as companies of all sizes look to modernize their infrastructure to stay competitive," said Steve White, program vice president, Channels and Alliances, IDC. "The new Cloud MSP program from Oracle offers partners and customers an avenue to pair leading services with Oracle's Cloud platform to help orchestrate this evolution to the Cloud in an efficient model."

Helping Partners Grow their Business in the Cloud
Demonstrating the strong market demand for Cloud MSP support, a recent report from 451 Research found that Managed Services at Cloud Service Providers are expected to grow from $17B in 2014 to $43B in 2018.

To participate in the program, partners must meet a specific set of criteria. This includes meeting the conditions of an Oracle Cloud MSP Partner Validation Checklist, which will be audited by a third party, as well demonstrate a minimum level of competency in Oracle IaaS and PaaS products. 

Oracle Cloud MSP partners will receive sales and go-to-market support, and can promote their offering with specific Oracle Managed Service Provider branding. OPN also today unveiled the Oracle Cloud MSP Knowledge Zone providing partners with key enablement resources and support throughout their engagement in the program.
