  • Why Partner with Oracle and Oracle Unified Method (OUM)

    The Oracle PartnerNetwork will empower your company with exceptional resources to distinguish your offerings from the competition, seize opportunities, and increase your sales.

    OUM is designed to accelerate your Enterprise Information Technology efforts. The Oracle Unified Method presents an organized, yet flexible, approach. Its defined, operational framework helps anticipate critical project needs and dependencies. With OUM, you can move efficiently through the IT lifecycle to quickly achieve measurable business results.

    OUM has evolved to become the single methodology for all Oracle products – supporting the entire Enterprise IT lifecycle. Every successful project depends on a mature, enriched methodology. OUM is your map to success!

    OUM is Oracle’s standards-based method that enables the entire Enterprise Information Technology (IT) lifecycle. It provides an implementation approach that is rapid, broadly adaptive, and business-focused. OUM includes a comprehensive project and program management framework and materials to support Oracle's growing focus on enterprise-level IT strategy, architecture, and governance.

    OUM is available to Oracle PartnerNetwork Diamond, Platinum, and Gold Partners as a benefit of membership.

    Authorized use of the Oracle Unified Method (OUM) materials by Oracle PartnerNetwork Diamond, Platinum, and Gold Partners is described in Section G. of the Oracle PartnerNetwork Agreement entitled Methodology/Engagement Materials. It grants Oracle PartnerNetwork Diamond, Platinum, and Gold Partners a non-exclusive, non-transferable, limited license to use and make copies of the materials, subject to Oracle PartnerNetwork (OPN) policies, for the following purposes:

    • Use the materials in connection with the implementation of programs for end users who have acquired valid licenses for such programs;
    • Provide training to partner employees in use of the materials;
    • Demonstrate the materials to end users; and
    • Copy the materials for archival or backup purposes.

    Oracle PartnerNetwork Diamond, Platinum, and Gold Partners may allow their agents and contractors to use the materials for these purposes, subject to the terms of the Oracle PartnerNetwork Agreement. All titles, trademarks, and copyright and restricted rights notices contained in the materials shall be reproduced in any copies of the materials. All copies of the materials shall be subject to the terms of this agreement.

    Key Benefits

    • More Focused Effort – OUM enables projects to clearly define business scope and needs to create architectural models of the enterprise. This planning results in tighter scope control, more accurate business understanding, and a firm foundation for client acceptance.
    • Built-in Flexibility – By combining activities and tasks in different ways, OUM can be applied to many types of information technology software development and implementation projects.
    • Saves Time – Seasoned information technology practitioners representing years of experience have contributed their knowledge to OUM. Project teams can take advantage of this experience by leveraging these leading practices along with industry standards.
    • Higher Quality – OUM subscribes to an iterative approach that incorporates testing and validation throughout the lifecycle, rather than testing for quality only at the end of the project.
    • More Cost Effective – OUM facilitates improved control of project expenses by using a flexible work breakdown structure that allows you to perform only necessary tasks.
    • Reduced Project Risk – Implementing an iterative, broadly applicable method mitigates requirements mismatch. A key focus of each iteration in OUM is to identify and reduce the most significant project risks. This ensures that the most critical risks are addressed as early as possible in the project lifecycle, which results in a measurable reduction of schedule and budget risks.

    What's in Oracle Unified Method

    The Oracle Unified Method offering provides you with a comprehensive toolkit:

    • Overview Material – Provides an overview of OUM's approach to IT projects, including the industry standards upon which OUM is based.
    • Guidelines – Phase, process, task, role, and work product guidelines cover every aspect of an Oracle-based business solution.
    • Templates – Templates enable fast and easy creation of high quality work products.
    • Tailored Work Breakdown Structure – These standards enable an easy start in managing your project.
