Oracle’s unwavering commitment to innovation is powering the next generation solutions for customers around the world. Together with our partners, we are delivering end-to-end solutions customers need to support their business growth and success.

Oracle’s partners choose how to engage with Oracle based on their business strategies, while OPN provides the framework for engagement.

Oracle’s Global Approach to Partners

1. Traditional Systems Integrators: Oracle is rebuilding its partner program, working with partners that offer expertise in specific technologies, industries, and geographies to meet the unique needs of customers. It invests in growing their expertise through robust training, and collaborates closely to drive successful implementations that ensure our customers achieve their goals.

2. Business Solution Providers: Partnering with leaders in other industries is often the best way to provide specific solutions to our customers’ biggest business challenges. For example, with NVIDIA, Oracle is extending AI in Oracle’s enterprise applications, and also building software development environments that address the computing demands for AI applications in areas like autonomous vehicles, healthcare and robotics.

3. Customers: Oracle partners with its customers, with Oracle Alloy, which allows organizations to become cloud providers and offer cloud services built on OCI to their own customers. This helps meet specific regional or industry regulations.
