Knotion becomes Oracle PartnerNetwork Gold Level Partner

Johannesburg, 13 Sep 2011

Knotion, one of South Africa's leading providers of enterprise architecture, integration and training services, today announced it has achieved Gold Partner status in Oracle PartnerNetwork (OPN).

By attaining Gold Level membership, Oracle has recognised Knotion for its commitment to establishing Oracle-related knowledge in delivering SOA-based integration planning and implementation services.

Knotion's innovative offering of integration and SOA services is designed to enable more responsive, agile organisations that can thrive in the ever-changing world of business and technology.

While the company aligns SOA to business needs on a strategic level, its pragmatic solutions are tailored to meet unique client objectives and ensure rapid, sustainable value generation. A key element of Knotion's success is its focus on building supportive relationships throughout implementation.

“We believe our relationship with our customers sets us apart in the industry,” says Knotion Integration Director, Tim Vermaak. “Our track record shows Knotion's commitment to exceptional service delivery that identifies the smart way forward to a sustained higher return on a client's investment in integration services. Our OPN Gold status will greatly strengthen our technology capability, and enhance our ability to create value for our clients.”

Knotion's strong, all-encompassing enterprise architecture capability provides further depth and value-add to its integration offering.

With Gold status, Knotion receives the benefit of being able to start developing specialisations that will allow it to grow its business, increase its expertise, reach higher levels of customer retention, and create differentiation in the marketplace.

Gold members also become eligible to resell all Oracle technology products, and can apply to resell Oracle applications and industry solutions. In addition, they receive access to Oracle account representatives and My Oracle Support updates for all products, discounts on training, limited free assessment/exam vouchers, reduced rates on the purchase of Oracle licences for internal use, discounts on advanced customer services, and more.
