ANNAPOLIS, MD (PRWEB) October 6, 2006
USi (www. USi. com), the leading Application Service Provider (ASP) and a premier provider of Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), today announced that it has achieved Certified Advantage Partner status in North America, the highest level in the Oracle® PartnerNetwork, consistently demonstrating superior product knowledge, technical expertise, and a commitment to Oracle products, including Oracle, PeopleSoft, JD Edwards and Siebel applications.
“USi is proud to have earned this latest recognition from Oracle. As a proven leader in delivering managed and professional services for the complete Oracle Application Lifecycle, USi is committed to ensuring our resources have the technical and product expertise to continuously exceed clients’ expectations,” said Don Ameche, USi’s Vice President of Channels and Partners. “We recognize the importance of working closely with Oracle. Today’s announcement is another means for demonstrating our commitment to Oracle products.”
USi has a strong history of implementation and support of hosted Oracle products. With 400 hosted and managed instances of enterprise applications in the Oracle family of applications, USi’s vast experience allowed the company to develop a strong methodology for implementation and management of complex ERP systems. In addition to USi’s comprehensive support model, the company provides its clients custom monitoring, which guarantees availability and performance. Innovations in automation allow USi to cost-effectively provide these benefits at a level that would be prohibitively expensive if maintained on-premise. In addition to comprehensive technical resources, USi has earned a reputation for its high-touch functional support. The company dedicates teams to understanding its clients’ business processes, allowing USi to drive further value from enterprise applications by aligning the applications with existing business processes and adapting the application to fit the fluid nature of business processes in today’s market.
Oracle grants this level of partnership to companies that meet the highest of standards, provide a full range of Oracle-related products and services and have proven a solid commitment. In fact of 3,866 North American partners, only 77 have met the comprehensive requirements for this level of partnership. As a Certified Advantage Partner in Oracle PartnerNetwork, USi has the opportunity to serve its clients more broadly and deeply because Oracle dedicates account resources specifically for USi and its clients, allowing expedited attention to technical issues, including collaboration with developers should the need arise. To be considered by Oracle for Certified Advantage Partner status, a required number of USi’s consultants had to attain Oracle Certified Professional status, and USi proved comprehensive application support in two geographic regions worldwide.
“Companies look to Oracle for world-class enterprise solutions that help them manage their enterprise, while they look to USi to deliver the functionality of their Oracle applications in a continuously supported model that’s aligned with their business processes,” said Rauline Ochs, group vice president of North America Alliances and Channels, Oracle. “Partners like USi help us to exceed the expectations of our clients so they continue to rely on Oracle to streamline their businesses.”
