Why Partner with Oracle and Java Technology
The Oracle PartnerNetwork empowers your company with exceptional resources to run your business with confidence, distinguish your offerings from the competition, seize opportunities, and increase your sales.
Java technology is a key enabler for products and services in many markets, industries, and services. Java also serves as a global standard for many industries such as payment, mobile data services, digital media. From the edge of the network, to the heart of the enterprise and data center, the Java platform powers all sorts of innovative solutions and services. Today, Java is the platform that powers many of the worlds service providers, enterprise corporations, consumer electronics manufacturers, telecommunications equipment providers, healthcare products & services, utilities vendors, industrial controls, governments, smart energy solutions and gateways. As more of our world becomes digitally connected, Java is the ideal technology for "The Internet of Things". Java is a trusted, stable and secure technology with a broad and mature ecosystem of developers and industry specialists supporting it.
Oracle has assembled the largest Java platform development team in the history of the technology. Oracle develops as well as works with partners to commercially make available a wide range of Java platforms for many different applications and solutions.
Choice of OEMs
Using Java technology decouples your software development from your hardware development cycles, which provides great flexibility for your product development and go-to-market strategies. Java, as the applications platform can be implemented over a variety of system and hardware choices for many different industries. With the largest developer base on the planet, Java allows you to readily find developers to create applications for your products. Java platforms scale to support highly resource constrained devices to server class systems.
Adds Value and Speeds Time to Market for Platform Integrators
As a technology provider, Oracle partners with industry experts who know their markets well. Whether you provide a System-on-Chip, middleware, applications, or some other value-added solution, having a highly optimized compliant Java implementation pre-integrated into your product distinguishes you from others and speeds time to market in the value chain. Platform providers can create a more compelling value for their customers.
Runs the Business of the Enterprise
If you run any part of your business using Java technology, ensure that you have the peace of mind knowing you have access to the operational support available to run your Java applications and services. As an Oracle partner, you have access to deep technical support and the ability to accelerate receiving fixes to your technical issues, thereby reducing operational downtime minimizing negative impacts to your business. If you are running legacy versions of Java, you have the ability to receive technical and security updates and fixes to those products long after their public service lives.
Run Java with Confidence for Independent Software Vendors (ISVs)
Like Oracle, independent software vendors who develop their applications in part or wholly in Java, bet their businesses on Java. ISVs have customers deploying these solutions, and it's critical to have a partner like Oracle to provide backline support to ensure their customers stay up and running. As an Oracle partner, ISVs have access to deep technical support to provide them the confidence to develop, sell and deploy their solutions. Customers will appreciate the extra confidence they have knowing the ISV has a global company like Oracle backing them.
A Key Solution Component for System Integrators
System Integrators typically provide the product and application experience in implementing complex solutions. New modern systems require platforms that can manage systems across disparate architectures and provide computing capabilities locally on devices as well as networked through the cloud. As Java can run across many different computing platforms, it is often a logical choice applications platform recommended by our system integrator partners. Java adds intelligence and connectivity to vertical solutions. Partnering with Oracle for Java gives our system integrators the products, resources, expertise and confidence to build solutions for their customers.

Java technology is an object-oriented, platform-independent, multithreaded programming environment. It is the foundation for Web and networked services, applications, platform-independent desktops, robotics, and other embedded devices.
Most of the Java technologies for developers are freely downloadable from http://java.oracle.com. To serve the wide range of applications, Java Technologies comprise of multiple flavors and offerings:
- Java Platform, Standard Edition (Java SE) contains Java Development Kit (JDK), Java Run-time Environment (JRE), Application Programming Interfaces (API's), and a set of tools
- Java Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE) contains JDK, JRE, enterprise API's for server-side applications, development and deployment tools as well as GlassFish as the Reference Implementation
- Java Platform, Micro Edition (Java ME) provides a robust, flexible environment for applications running on mobile and other embedded devices - mobile phones, personal digital assistants (PDAs), TV set-top boxes, and printers.
- Java FX is an advanced Java user interface (UI) platform for enterprise business applications and the next step in the evolution of Java as a premier rich client platform.
