Oracle Hosts First Global Virtual Partner Kickoff
Online event will provide partners with information and strategies for achieving sales success.
To further enable its global partner community, Oracle announced the first Oracle Virtual Partner Kickoff, an online event that provides information and strategies for partners to plan and engage with Oracle for the next fiscal year.
For the first time, partners across the globe will have access to product messaging, presentations, and Webcasts delivered at Oracle’s own internal sales kickoff, and will gain insight into strategic partner initiatives designed to help them drive more revenue for their businesses through specialization and monetization of Oracle acquisitions.
Partners will also have direct access to sales strategies and messages delivered by Oracle executives, including Charles Phillips, Safra Catz, and Judson Althoff. They will also hear from top applications, middleware, and database product development executives on Oracle’s strategic focus areas, such as cloud computing and open source. Additionally, top regional alliances and channels executives will address partners on specific strategies that will help partners in their geographies engage with Oracle in FY10.
“Our partners’ success is our success,” says Judson Althoff, group vice president of worldwide alliances and channels, Oracle. “This event symbolizes a new level of transparency between Oracle and our more than 20,000 member-strong global partner community. Globally, partner business accounts for more than 40 percent of our revenue. Empowering our partners with the same information that our own sales teams have helps align our strategies and sales efforts. Ultimately, this should produce the most value for our end customers.”
All registered Oracle partners are eligible to attend the July 7, 2009 virtual event using their existing Oracle PartnerNetwork login and password. All content will be available on the Oracle PartnerNetwork portal for several quarters following the event. For more information, visit†http://www.oracle.com/partners/index.html.
