Partner Engagement Models
Partner Engagement Models
• Design Authority as a trusted advisor: help ensure that the product is exploited to the optimum effect by providing architectural support focussing on maintaining integrity of the application
• Subject Matter Expertise: provide product experts to support primarily design and build phases, support our partners and/or customers to implement our products successfully
• Implementation Partner: Responsible for building a target solution for customer in a well-defined Oracle product area (design, build, system test)
Design Authority in practice
• The Design Authority will help ensure that the solution is exploited to the optimum effect by providing architectural support ensuring that the integrity of the application is maintained
• The Design Authority comprises a Solutions Architect / STC’s
• The Design Authority will work jointly with the Partner and Customer who are responsible for delivering the project and services.
• The Design Authority is the center of expertise with respect to the Oracle communications products and the point of reference for business requirements, functional specifications, design and implementation questions and issues.

•L – Lead•S – Support
Engagement Architecture
• It is flexible• Design Authority• Short Term engagement for part of the project• Provide reusuable assets from consulting• Provide packaged solution
• Driven by project scope and products
• Share the roles and responsibilities with Customer between Partner and Oracle
Expanded Involvement
Expanded Oracle involvement comes into play when
• Customer requests more and/or specific Oracle involvement• SI has limited capabilities in a product area
This will include:
• Design – Build – Test responsibilities for the Oracle product area• with clearly defined scope and deliverables• contracted with customer or Partners
Collaboration that works – Ground Rules I
• Engage with Oracle Consulting early (not before signing of contract or just before!!) – include this as part of your planning process
• Agree on the engagement and blended delivery model including the customer’s view
• Share risks and mitigation plans upfront
• Build your budget with an appropriate “carve-out” for Oracle – clearly show what this effort will be and how it will support the project
• Jointly present solution to customer – we will support the sales process
Ground Rules II
• Part time and ad-hoc approach has limited value and is costly due to resources and volumes contraints
• We will name a Program Manager who will manage onsite resources, administration and can help with early escalations e.g. engineering, product management
• Consulting Sales will be your point of escalation
Open discussion points
• Large deals including multiple Oracle entities to be handled case-by case (Combo deals)
• Frame Agreements help – but very few are in place (they take a significant amount of time)
• Global Teaming agreements are a possibility to agree blended delivery model and sometimes required for the larger deals
• Single point of contact
