Optimize Your Oracle/BEA Investments

 

Now that Oracle has announced their acquisition strategy with BEA products, it is time for companies to map out their strategic IT plan to maximize existing and future investments.  We have been assisting our current customers by answering many questions in formulating this roadmap, such as:

  • What Oracle products are available now and what is coming in the near future?
  • How do we consolidate our existing BEA/Oracle investment given their future direction?
  • Does our reference architecture change given the new direction?
  • What should our 1, 3 and 5 year IT infrastructure plans look like?
  • Do we have the right skill set for the merged set of products? How do we get up to speed on the pieces where we don't?

Bluenog is an authorized BEA and Oracle VAR and can assist you with these and other challenges. Our Solutions team can assist in everything from upgrade and migration strategy to architecture and design of new systems, as well as redesign of existing applications.

 

Bluenog is a Certified Advantage Partner in the OracleŽ PartnerNetwork, the highest level of Oracle partner. Click here to read the press release announcing our partnership.
