The IT distributor broadens its program for Oracle partners to enable in-person and virtual demonstrations of the Oracle Exadata Database Machine.
IT distributor Avnet Technology Solutions has expanded its so-called “Under Our Wing” program, a partner program designed to help participating Oracle partners obtain Oracle PartnerNetwork (OPN) specialization. Avnet is a Platinum member in OPN.
Under the newly expanded program, partners can now demonstrate to prospective customers the benefits of incorporating the Oracle Exadata Database Machine into their data center†and IT environments, both in-person and virtually. Additionally, Avnet added new training curriculum to the program to prepare Oracle partners for their OPN Specialization tests.
“Avnet’s ‘Under our Wing’ program has been very successful in helping our Oracle partners obtain their OPN Specialization, and we are enhancing the program to build on these achievements and take our partners’ skill sets to an even higher level,” says Chris Swahn, the company’s vice president and general manager.
Avnet’s Oracle partners will be able to offer their prospects Exadata demos and proof-of-concept solutions designs in person at the Avnet Global Solutions Center in Chandler, Ariz. They can also leverage these services virtually through Avnet’s Demo Center, an online remote portal with access to demonstrations for key suppliers and industry solutions across a variety of IT environments. As part of Avnet’s “Under Our Wing” program, these Exadata resources can also be used to help train partners’ sales and technical teams.
