As midsize organisations continue to demand affordable, quick-to-deploy software applications, Oracle today announced that partners around the world are delivering new Oracle Accelerate solutions to provide a wider range of pre-packaged bundles that pair Oracle Applications with partner knowledge to help deliver rapid, fixed cost implementations.

Oracle Accelerate continues to help Oracle PartnerNetwork Certified and Certified Advantage Partners expand their geographic reach to increase their addressable market.

Among 12 of Oracle's applications, Oracle's JD Edwards EnterpriseOne continues to be a favourite for Oracle partners, who leverage it to provide midsize industrial manufacturing companies with the capabilities to reduce costs and maximise productivity on the manufacturing floor.
