Public Sector (Qualifying Specialization)

Public Sector Industry Specialization for individuals focuses on serving the information technology needs of the public sector, with a powerful combination of technology and comprehensive, preintegrated business applications.

To meet the challenges of the public sector industry, Oracle introduces Oracle iGovernment, a platform for innovative, integrated, and intelligent operations that lets you tear down silos and link front – and back-office operations while reducing costs and increasing responsiveness.

This specialization highlights Oracle’s leading position serving the public sector and how Oracle solutions are used to meet the requirements of specific government functions and programs. Public Sector Industry Specialization recognizes that partners have demonstrated their ability drawn from Oracle’s portfolio of software and hardware solutions to solve unique public sector needs.

To apply for the public sector specialization, partners must have and maintain in good standing two product specializations. Product specializations that may be applicable to this requirement are here.
