Yak about Apps...

Iti??s interesting, when talking to small and medium size businesses (SMB) in general, I find that they doni??t usually think of Oraclei??s application products as a solution for their organization. After doing much research, what I have found is that Oracle has helped more than 19,000 SMB customers in a variety of industries and across many geographies. So, why is there a disconnect? 

When I think about this logically, it would make sense that companies large and small should have similar business challenges such as globalization, regulations, customer-driven markets, internet technologies, etc.  The only difference I see is that they might not be able to afford long and costly drawn-out application integration projects like a Fortune 1000 company can. 

So, why should the SMB market buy into Oraclei??s Accelerate Program?

1)  Offers the best of the best applications with highly configurable functionality, resulting in tailored industry solutions

2)  Provides prepackaged and prebundled industry segment-level solutions by geography i?? more then 80 i?? it's all about choices

3)  Has Business Accelerators, that accelerate the time from discovery to go-live i?? taking a customer through all the typical questions about their business and implementating the system to those specifications and delivering the speed and predictability that customers want.

4)  Has a strong ecosystem of partners who include their intellectual property in the Accelerate Solution, resulting in even more of an industry fit

5)  Allows partner intellectual property to be reviewed by Oracle so that the customer never strays from the upgrade path

Bottom line, Oraclei??s Accelerate Program drastically reduces implementation times for small and medium businesses. Check it out!
