Griffiths Waite Achieves Oracle PartnerNetwork Specialization for Oracle Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA)

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) February 15, 2011 -- The OPN Specialization programme offers Oracle’s most experienced and committed partners the opportunity to show differentiation and competitive edge in particular areas of the Oracle portfolio.

This represents a significant achievement for Griffiths Waite, because to achieve specialized status, Oracle partners are required to meet a stringent set of requirements based on the needs and priorities of the customer and partner community. By achieving specialized distinction, Griffiths Waite has been recognised by Oracle for its expertise in delivering services specifically around Oracle SOA Suite 11g through competency development, business results and proven success. Oracle SOA Suite 11g is an integrated, best-of-breed suite that helps customers rapidly design and assemble, deploy and manage, highly agile and adaptable business applications.

Ian Heathcock, Business Development Director at Griffiths Waite, comments “Our customers are already seeing the value of specialization and as a result, we’re only too willing to provide strong references for our work. Such recognition forms a critical element of being granted specialized status whilst providing a level of comfort for our clients that they are working with the correct partner.”

Mark Simpson, Consulting Director at Griffiths Waite, comments, “The team really rose to the challenge and within six weeks of embarking on our quest to become specialized, we had exceeded the number of passes by at least 200% in each of the categories. Not only does this show the company wide endorsement of the specialization programme, but the very high calibre of our consultants.” Simpson continues, “Griffiths Waite has been 100% dedicated to Oracle since our inception in 1994. Over the last six years we have been a pioneering early adopter of Oracle SOA with numerous client success stories. This Oracle SOA Suite 11g specialization provides a tangible measure that Griffiths Waite has the prerequisite skills and experience to design, develop and deploy integration and custom Middleware solutions for clients across all industries.”

Jüergen Kress, Senior Manager SOA, Alliances and Channels, Oracle EMEA commented, “By achieving the Oracle SOA 11g Specialization, Griffiths Waite has shown that it is a valuable member of OPN in the United Kingdom. Achieving this Specialization provides a proof point for customers, demonstrating the proven abilities of Griffiths Waite and its team of certified consultants in the Oracle SOA Suite 11g area which are backed up by an extensive list of successful SOA implementations and references.”
