Avnet expands its Oracle capabilities in Puerto Rico and Venezuela, enabling channel partners to address their customers’ software and systems needs
Avnet
Technology Solutions, an operating group of Avnet,
Inc. (NYSE: AVT),
today announced the expansion of its Latin
America and Caribbean relationship with Oracle from Brazil, Chile,
Mexico and Puerto Rico to also include Venezuela, as well as bolstered
offerings in Puerto Rico, where Oracle Software is already available.
Specifically, Avnet will now offer Oracle’s full-stack capabilities,
including Oracle Systems, Oracle Technology and Oracle Applications in
Venezuela. Additionally, Avnet will provide channel partners with Oracle
Systems initially in Puerto Rico, and Avnet plans to extend this into
other Caribbean markets in the future. Combining Oracle’s
state-of-the-art offerings and Avnet’s market-proven integration
expertise, these expansions can allow channel partners in these markets
to more effectively address their customers’ business needs.
“These are key market inroads in the Latin America and Caribbean region
for Avnet and Oracle,” said Jackelin Ramirez, general manager for the
Northern Cone Region at Avnet Technology Solutions, Latin America and
Caribbean. “It’s noteworthy for channel partners because they will be
able to rely on our local market knowledge and regional business
development practices in Venezuela. Both local Venezuelan and worldwide
channel partners that want to establish operations in Venezuela will
benefit from this launch. In the case of our Puerto Rico operations,
this addition will gradually enable VARs in the Caribbean to complete
their offerings with Oracle Systems designed for the middleware,
software and applications that Oracle provides for end users.”
Avnet is one of the largest global distributors of Oracle solutions. It
supports Oracle and its channel partner community in 58 countries
throughout the Americas, Asia Pacific, and Europe, the Middle East and
Africa. Through its long-standing relationship with Oracle, Avnet has
brought a wide range of innovative tools, resources and programs to
market to accelerate channel partners’ success. For example, Avnet and
Oracle recently launched the Avnet
Mid-market Accelerator for Oracle Software in Brazil, Chile and
Mexico. Exclusively available through Avnet’s channel partners, this
new, cost-effective solution allows mid-sized companies to harness the
power of big data and cloud computing with Oracle’s high-performance
database technologies.
”We are excited Avnet is extending their distribution of Oracle
solutions in Latin America and Caribbean,” said Bruce Chumley, group
vice president, Worldwide Alliances and Channels Sales, Oracle. “This
strategic alliance strengthens Avnet and Oracle’s relationship by adding
new territories and enhancing the overall portfolio with our unique
business development programs.”
