New Oracle programme to drive partner success in the Cloud

Global software and cloud major Oracle has unveiled a new Oracle PartnerNetwork (OPN) Cloud programme to help partners accelerate the growth of their Oracle Cloud business by providing them with technical and go-to-market support.

Through this new programme, partners will be able to showcase their Oracle Cloud expertise, vertical market offerings and success with customers through new tiers of recognition and progressive benefits, the company said in a statement.

"OPN now offers the most comprehensive portfolio of cloud programmes available today," said Shawn Price, senior vice president at Oracle Cloud.

"Our rapid growth and extensive Software-As-A-Service (SaaS), Platform-As-A-Service (PaaS) and Infrastructure-As-A-Service (IaaS) Cloud portfolio presents an unparalleled opportunity for partners and customers alike. We can now equip our highly experienced partners with the tools they need to successfully move their customers to modern business models," Price added.

The four tiers of the new OPN Cloud designations include Cloud Standard, Cloud Select, Cloud Premier and Cloud Elite.

"The vast partner community includes tens of thousands of implementation experts with transferable skills who can help our customers navigate their transition to the Cloud," Price said.

OPN offers resources to train and support specialised knowledge of Oracle's products and solutions and has evolved to recognise the company's growing product portfolio, partner base and business opportunity.
