Oracle today announced that it has won both of the categories it entered in the Annual Report Card (ARC) from CMP Channel's VARBusiness. Now in its 22nd year, the VARBusiness ARC Awards recognize outstanding partner programs and superb vendor service in 15 product and service categories including mobile computers, mainstream business servers, voice networking hardware, data and information management software, and security appliances. The ARC awards were held at an awards ceremony on August 21, at the CMP Channel's XChange '07 Conference in Orlando, Florida.
Oracle captured the ARC Company of the Year Award in both the Data & Information Management Software and Business Software Management categories. In the Data & Information Management Software category, Oracle was lauded for its performance in Product Innovation, Support and Partnership. The win in the Business Software Management category resulted from top ranks in Product Innovation and Support.
Winners were selected by VARBusiness editorial based on the survey results of more than 5,000 systems integrators, IT consulting organizations, value-added resellers (VARs), solution providers and software developers.
"We are consistently striving to improve our programs to ensure partners have the maximum opportunity to realize a return on a new product, industry or market segment," said Oracle Senior Vice President of North America Alliances and Channels, Rauline Ochs. "Because everything we pursue relative to partners centers around enabling them to succeed, we are extremely pleased to be recognized this year for our efforts in these two key categories, by both CMP and our partners."
"Because vendors taking part in the VARBusiness Annual Report Card are selected by their own Solution Provider partners, the Annual Report Card has over the last 22 years become the defining research on vendor/partner relationships," said Robert C. Demarzo, vice president and editorial director, CMP Channel. "We salute each of the vendors named on this year's ARC."
