Workgroup IT has been appointed a value-added distributor for Oracle hardware and software in SA.
Workgroup IT says it has created a focused Enterprise Solution division, which will be driving Oracle's message of 'Hardware and Software/Engineered to Work Together'.
According to the distribution company, the new division's aim is to deliver systems that help improve the performance, reliability and security of its customer's IT infrastructures.
Product marketing manager for Oracle hardware at Workgroup, Bradley McCulloch, says customers will benefit as their system performance goes up and their system integration and management costs go down, but adds that it doesn't end there.
“Underscoring an enhanced solution set is the support and service that Workgroup IT customers have come to rely on,” he says.
He says in preparation for this, Workgroup has trained its team. The team will be attending to pre-sales, sales, post-sales, support and training requirements, he promises.
“Oracle empowers us with the full cycle of value add needed to stay successful in today's competitive market,” he adds.
The general manager for Enterprise Solutions at Workgroup, Nick Christodoulou, says Workgroup has developed a reputation over the past seven years for providing knowledge-based advice on hardware solutions suited to meet its customer's requirements. “It is the team's intention to continue in doing so with both hardware and software solutions going forward,” he says.
“Oracle's portfolio of database, middleware and industry applications are all designed to work together with Oracle's SPARC and x86-based servers and storage systems, Oracle Solaris, Java and MySQL,” says Maryka Lishman, product marketing manager for Oracle software at Workgroup.
Our customers can benefit from having access to open and integrated systems - from application to disk - where all the pieces work together out of the box.”
“Oracle's software already runs faster on Sun SPARC servers and Oracle Solaris than other servers or operating systems. And increasingly, each layer of the stack is engineered to further improve performance, reliability and manageability so that IT will be more predictable, more supportable and more secure,” Lishman concludes.
