ORACLE OPENWORLD, San Francisco, October 5, 2011
Oracle today announced that Oracle PartnerNetwork (OPN) Systems Implementation partners (SIs) around the world continue to rapidly adopt and invest in Oracle Fusion Applications.
Leveraging over 1,000 Oracle Fusion Application training assets available through Oracle OPN, implementation partners ranging from global SIs to niche and regional integrators continue to make significant investments in training and development of their Oracle Fusion Application practices.
Many of these partners have been active participants in Oracle Fusion Application Ramp-Up and Migration Co-Development programs, gaining the deepest embedded exposure to Oracle Fusion Applications prior to their release. Partners who were selected for these programs demonstrated the highest levels of functional application domain and technological architecture expertise and have invested in co-development efforts with Oracle to deliver next generation functional and technical integration for Oracle Fusion Applications.
By gaining expertise in the Oracle Fusion Application early-adopter programs, these partners are uniquely positioned to help customers mitigate risk and reduce time in deploying Oracle Fusion Applications in tandem with their existing Oracle Application environment or in migrating older application instances to Oracle Fusion Applications.
Today, over 900 consultants representing forty-seven global implementation partners have participated in beta validation, business process testing, technical training and hands on functional training activities for Oracle Fusion Applications.
Oracle Fusion Applications are 100 percent open standards-based business applications that provide a new standard for the way companies innovate, work and adopt technology.

Systems Implementation partners participating in Oracle Fusion Application Ramp-Up and Migration Co-Development programs include a broad spectrum of partners ranging from large scale global systems implementation partners to localized, Specialized integrators. Partners include ... Project Partners.
"Strategic Implementation partners are an important part of the Oracle Fusion Application launch,” said Chris Leone, Group Vice President, Application Strategy, Oracle. “Oracle has demonstrated this by the significant investment we have made in empowering SIs to transform their clients’ business solutions with the deployment of Oracle Fusion Applications. These SIs have shown their support for Oracle Fusion Applications with the investment they have made and continue to make as they develop their own Oracle Fusion Application Centers of Excellence. These centers will be strategic to customers desiring to see innovation proof points based on Oracle Fusion Applications.”
