Oracle Partner Network

Last month, Innowave became one of only 59 Certified Advantage Partners based in the United States.

Innowave was elevated to the Oralce PartnerNetwork's highest membership level by fulfilling the criteria and addressing all the requirements which include enablement, business commitment and staff competency in multiple product focus areas.

I have been involved with the Oracle PartnerNetwork since 1996, with different systems integrators, always starting at the basic partner level and quickly developing competency among team members to advance to the Certified Advantage Partner level. Innowave was no different - as soon the company was founded, it joined the Oracle PartnerNetwork, advancing to become a Certified Partner and elevated recently to the Certified Advantage Partner.

The Oracle PartnerNetwork is a global business network of more than 20,000 companies worldwide that deliver enterprise software solutions based on Oracle software. So if your business deals with Oracle products, there is value in joining no matter what your business model is: Systems Integrator, Independent Software Vendor (ISV), Hosting Service Provider, or a Value-Added Reseller (VAR).

Through access to Oracle's premier products, education, technical services, marketing and sales support, the Oracle PartnerNetwork program provides partners with the resources they need to be successful in today's global economy. Innowave has definitely benefited by leveraging these resources to deliver its award winning solutions. I will write more about these awards in a future blog post.
