Telecoms want to purchase solutions from trusted advisors. Leverage your industry expertise on Oracle's leading business applications and technology to offer complete integrated solutions to meet their business needs.

Network Equipment Manufacturers, Hardware and Infrastructure Vendors
Networks are changing shape. Significant new investments are likely over the next few years and the technology direction is away from several `traditional` areas. Propriety technolgy is being pushed back and new doors are opening.

Following this trend Oracle is moving in the direction of real-time switch deployable software at the upper tier of the network. Its own investment plans in terms of acquisitions and technology developments are now reflecting this.

Telco companies are looking for simplicity: in purchasing, deploying and using technology. By combining the technology elements together into a simple package, you can offer your clients a "one-stop" option for all their Technology/IT requirements.

The telecommunications world has been changing rapidly over the last few years. While traditional voice revenue has been under pressure the upside from rapid deployment of new revenue generating services for incumbents has never been greater. This dual pressure is creating a unique situation for service providers, whereby they must simultaneously obtain the maximum return on their existing investments and deploy new revenue-generating services rapidly.
