Business consulting and auditing giants, Arthur Andersen (South Africa) and Oracle South Africa have entered into a Business Alliance Partnership to provide technology solutions to the market with a business concentration that is based on a thorough analysis of clients` business needs. "The Oracle partnership is a natural extension of our current working relationship" say Pedro Viudez, Arthur Andersen`s` business consulting manager. "The rationale is simple, partnerships allow us to deliver enhanced service to our clients. We have access to upfront training, the latest technology releases, and are able to manage client solutions more effectively." "Partnering with Oracle gives us access to technology that has been proven to be very solid and reliable," continues Viudez. Moreover, as consultants we need to be sure that software deployments are undertaken as rapidly as possible. Installation of Oracle technology is known for its fast-track deployments." The impetus for the partnership is in the advantages that Arthur Andersen hopes to derive. Arthur Andersen believes that access to Oracle`s global infrastructure and its status as the second largest software company in the world make it an important component of Arthur Andersen`s consulting portfolio. The extent of Oracle`s investment in research and development illustrates its dedication to providing the market with leading edge technology. Furthermore, Oracle`s focus on a wide range of vertical markets, and its pre-implementation of "best-of-breed" solutions into Oracle products facilitates speedy installation of client solutions. "Oracle`s internet solutions enabling e-commerce, network computers and network computing architecture are another reason why our partnership is strategically so important," says Viudez. "Our business is to integrate people, process and technology and a key aspect of this is the technology supplied by Oracle."
