New Oracle Network Program drives partner success in Cloud

Oracle unveiled on Wednesday a new Oracle Partner Network (OPN) Cloud Program to help partners accelerate the growth of their Oracle Cloud business by providing them with technical and go-to-market support, said a press release.


Through this new program, 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.

Oracle Partner Network (OPN) is Oracle's partner program that provides partners with a differentiated advantage to develop, sell and implement Oracle solutions. OPN offers resources to train and support specialized knowledge of Oracle’s products and solutions and has evolved to recognize Oracle’s growing product portfolio, partner base and business opportunity.  “OPN now offers the most comprehensive portfolio of cloud programs available today,” said Shawn Price, senior vice president, Oracle Cloud.

“Our rapid growth and extensive SaaS, PaaS and 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.  This vast partner community includes tens of thousands of implementation experts with transferable skills who can help our customers navigate their transition to the cloud,” Shawn added.

The four tiers of the new OPN Cloud designations include; Cloud Standard - partners who developed skills and expertise in Oracle Cloud services and are typically focused on a specific or specialized solution within one of Oracle’s key product pillars; Cloud Select - partners who achieved a Cloud specialization and/or are developing and selling Oracle Cloud technologies or services, and have proven success working with customers to launch their Oracle Cloud Services solutions.

Cloud Premier - partners who have transformed their business to focus specifically on driving their Oracle Cloud solutions with successful and repeatable customer use cases.
Benefits include enablement, go-to-market and engagement resources within their regions; and Cloud Elite - partners who have demonstrated full investment in a depth and breadth of Oracle Cloud solutions and dedication to delivering them to joint customers.

They will be priority go-to-market partners that will benefit from the highest engagement and commitment from Oracle for joint focused Cloud business growth.
