Project Partners, Oracle expand relationship

Project Partners, providers in enterprise project portfolio management, is expanding its relationship with Oracle to include the resale of Oracle's Primavera products, states PR-Canada.

Project Partners, a systems integrator, Oracle Approved Education Centre, and a certified partner in the Oracle PartnerNetwork, has offered implementation services, extensions and integrated products for Oracle Enterprise Project Portfolio Management applications since 1997.

Becoming an Oracle Primavera value-added reseller enables Project Partners to offer increased value as a one-stop expert solution provider to Oracle customers operating in project-intensive industries.

"Current estimates are that $12 trillion per year is spent on fixed capital projects worldwide, representing 20% of global product," J LeRoy Ward, executive vice-president of ESI International, told CRM Buyer.
