The company has also released new and enhanced business-building partner tools that will enable its global pool of partners to better manage their Oracle relationships.

Through this new program, these partners will gain relevant skills to achieve specializations and also expand business opportunities with both new and existing Oracle customers. In addition, partners will be able to formally certify specializations to differentiate themselves and their offerings. They will be recognized for their expertise and get a chance to become preferred solution providers to Oracle customers.

Oracle PartnerNetwork (OPN) Specialized is the newest version of Oracle's partner program that provides partners with tools to better develop, sell, and implement Oracle solutions.

OPN Specialized was announced only two months ago and already established global partners have achieved Platinum level status. Companies such as B2Br, CedarCrestone, SolStonePlus, Symatrix and Tilsor have achieved this status by establishing a depth and breadth of the expertise across five or more key Oracle solution areas.
