Computacenter wins double accolade at Oracle UK Partner Awards

March 2011

Computacenter has been awarded Oracle Hardware Partner of the Year and Oracle Technology Channel Partner of the Year at the annual Oracle PartnerNetwork Specialised UK Partner Awards.

The prizes were presented in recognition of the investment Computacenter has made in Oracle technologies and skills over the last year.

For example, Computacenter is the first Oracle partner to invest in both Exadata and Exalogic systems in order to provide customers with access to a comprehensive ExaDatacenter platform at its multi-vendor testing environment, the Solutions Centre.

David Callaghan, Senior Vice President, Oracle UK, Ireland and Israel, said: "These awards recognise the specialised partners that have consistently delivered a high level of innovation and excellence in their areas of expertise over the past year. The judging panel believes Computacenter has shown commitment to growing its Oracle business, enhanced its knowledge of the Oracle product line and shown focus in vertical industries."

Oracle and Computacenter have worked together for more than 20 years to help customers design, implement, integrate and support IT platforms that reduce cost and support business growth. Close alignment between Oracle's cloud computing strategy and Computacenter's Virtual Datacenter and C3 cloud-based services have resulted in a strong union that helps organisations achieve predictable, robust and scalable IT.

Neill Burton, Director of Datacenter Solutions at Computacenter, commented: "By working with Oracle we are able to offer customers our joint expertise in the areas of storage, servers, networks and software. We believe these two award wins are testament to our successful working relationship and ability to deliver exceptional IT services to customers."

Computacenter is a pan-European Platinum Partner, providing Oracle Professional Services around Core Technology, Oracle eBusiness Suite and Oracle-based applications.

As a result of Computacenter's expertise and experience in Oracle technologies, it is not only responsible for advising customers but also other Oracle partners on how best to deliver Oracle solutions through its Oracle Partner Technology Centre.
