Partners Deliver Industry-Specific Oracle Application Bundles for Small and Medium Businesses and Small and Medium Governments

With the demand for affordable, quick to-deploy solutions on the rise among small and medium businesses (SMBs) and small and medium governments (SMGs), Oracle today announced that partners around the world are delivering Oracle Accelerate solutions across multiple industries. 25 of Oracle's Certified and Certified Advantage Partners in the Oracle(R) PartnerNetwork are launching Oracle Accelerate solutions, industry-tailored bundles that have been reviewed by Oracle.

"These Oracle Accelerate solutions are the first of many scheduled to hit the market. Our partners are critical to the Oracle Accelerate strategy as they bring a deep understanding of Oracle's products as well as the specific industry challenges and business complexities that SMBs and SMGs face every day," said Oracle Senior Vice President, Global SMB Business Unit, Tony Kender. "We have been building the infrastructure to enable our partners to build and deliver Oracle Accelerate solutions for their markets since October. Now that we have everything in place, we are working to review the large number of partners' solutions in queue and are looking forward to a continuous flow of new Oracle Accelerate solutions from our partners globally."

Oracle Accelerate solutions combine Oracle's enterprise-class applications with partner expertise and rapid implementation tools in industry-tailored solutions that are packaged, priced and delivered by partners specifically to be easy to own for SMBs and SMGs. Key to the Oracle Accelerate program is the availability of pre-packaged application bundles that provide a wide range of industry-specific functionality and llow for rapid, best-practice implementations. Oracle Accelerate solutions are delivered through partners who have a proven history of bringing solutions to a customer's specific industry and geography.
