Why Partner with Oracle
The Oracle PartnerNetwork will empower your company with exceptional resources to distinguish your offerings from the competition, seize opportunities, and increase your sales.
Partnering with Oracle in Policy Automation enables you to:
- Bridge the gap. Oracle Policy Automation brings together people from IT, policy owners and end users by providing out-of-the-box tools for designing, testing, and deploying executable policies. By providing visibility into complex system logic using natural language, Oracle Policy Automation empowers subject matter experts to make policy changes as required, increasing organizational agility and reducing IT project costs.
- Leverage unique approach. For subject matter experts, deployment of executable policies directly into the applications that end users interact with provides accuracy, consistency, and easy audit tracking of the decision making process.
- Implement rules in your language. Oracle Policy Automation enables you to write rules in any human language. Support for many major languages is included, and partners have the opportunity to configure other languages. You could be the first partner to market in your area with a localised version of Oracle Policy Automation.
- Differentiate your solution. Oracle Policy Automation enables you to give your customers more control over their own rules, and build deeper long-term relationships as you work with them in true partnership to co-develop solutions.
- Develop your own IP. Oracle Policy Automation is also used by partners to develop pre-built rule sets in specific areas of expertise to take to market as a product offering to further differentiate you from your competitors and accelerate systems development.
