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.

Around the world, utilities are under pressure. Citizens demand energy and water that don't undermine environmental quality. Regulators seek action on smart grid and smart metering initiatives that add intelligence to infrastructure. Customers seek choice and convenience— but without additional costs.

Oracle can help. We offer utility experts, mission-critical software applications, a rock-solid operational software suite, high-performance servers and storage, and world-leading middleware and technology that can help address these challenges. We understand the complexity around smart grid initiatives, implementations, and the unknown. Oracle provides flexible, innovative technology and applications that increase efficiency, improve stakeholder satisfaction, future-proof your organization, and turn information into power.

Whether your utility is looking for a stand-alone application to solve a business problem, or a portfolio of solutions to address your entire initiative, Oracle is ready to partner with you today on your smart grid journey.

Utilities (Qualifying Specialization)

The Utilities Industry Specialization recognizes partner organizations that are proficient in applying Oracle’s hardware and software solutions to the Utility Industry.

Utilities provide an essential service to the nation and to the communities they serve. The quality and reliability of that service has a direct impact on work productivity and quality of life. Today, changes in utilities are driven by new technology, regulatory shifts, and the need to provide customer access to information. Oracle combines applications, technology and hardware in a single infrastructure, based on open standards, which supports a utility’s need for optimizing operations, mitigating risk and managing data complexity. Our solutions are specifically designed to support enterprise decision making, enhance reliability, and meet existing and future regulatory requirements.

Topics covered in this Specialization include: Field & Workforce Productivity, Complete CX for Retail Utilities, Complete CX for Regulated Utilities, Metrology & Device Integration, Real-time Operations and Visualization, Asset Reliability & Optimization, Environmental Risk & Performance Management for Utilities, Data & Cyber Security for Utilities, Regulatory Monitoring & Reporting, and Utilities Data Management.

Oracle partners who achieve this Specialization are differentiated in the marketplace through proven expertise in Utilities Industry solutions.
