Present during the launch of the Oracle VAD Remarketer Program were Oracle Philippines commercial sales manager Erick Olavides, Oracle Asia Pacific Alliances & Channels – ASEAN general manager Sean Baptist, Oracle Philippines channel manager Clarissa Segismundo, and Oracle Corporation alliance consultant Jose Fernandez-Stoll.

Oracle Philippines recently launched its VAD Remarketer Program with MSI-ECS (Philippines) Inc and Technopaq (Philippines) Inc.

Oracle VAD Remarketer Program enables MSI-ECS and Technopaq to resell Oracle technology products via its network of resellers throughout Philippines, without requiring the resellers to join the Oracle PartnerNetwork (OPN) program.

The VAD Remarketer Program makes it easy for resellers to start selling Oracle products and extend the Oracle portfolio to their customers without having to make up-front financial investments. Resellers can leverage MSI-ECS and Technopaq for support, training and other reseller services.

Resellers can sell the following products as part of the Remarketer Initiative: Oracle Database Personal Edition, Oracle Database Standard Edition, Oracle Database Standard Edition One, Oracle Application Server Standard Edition, Oracle Application Server Standard Edition One, Oracle Business Intelligence Standard Edition One, Oracle WebLogic Server Standard Edition, Oracle Universal Content Management Standard Edition, Oracle Document Capture, Oracle Internet Developer Suite.

MSI-ECS and Technopaq will provide product knowledge sessions and update sessions across the Philippines as part of their ongoing efforts to support the resellers.

Oracle’s technology solutions in the Remarketer Program fit any size budget and are easy to install and configure, allowing companies to get up and running quickly without specialized resources.

These Oracle-based solutions are affordable and scalable, offering a choice of solutions that are upwardly compatible. Customers can get started at a low-entry cost and upgrade as needed. In addition, they offer cross-platform support, including all operating systems, development languages and tools.

“The launch of Oracle VAD Remarketer Program will encourage our smaller partners to aggressively push Oracle products and services to mid-sized companies in the country as it does not entail certifications and partnership fee required from OPN members.  This opportunity will enable us to increase our Oracle channels and further improve our bottom line on Oracle business,” said Jimmy D. Go, President and CEO, MSI-ECS.

“We believe that the Remarketer program will be a tool to strengthen our relationship with our partners.  As a VAD, we can leverage this program to capture new business opportunities with our partner network. Oracle’s Remarketer Program will help us expand our market coverage especially for our mid-market and ISV network,” said B.S. Kumar, CEO, Technopaq (Philippines) Inc.

“The VAD Remarketer Program demonstrates Oracle’s commitment to our channel and reseller partners. With the launch of this program, we are making it easier and more profitable for companies to resell many of Oracle’s technology products, with no initial investment,” said Ryan Guadalquiver, managing director, Oracle (Philippines), Corporation.

“The Remarketer Program is an opportunity for resellers to grow their portfolio of offerings with Oracle”, Sean Baptist, General Manager, Alliances & Channels, ASEAN “This initiative further validates Oracle’s support to local resellers by helping them create new avenues of business.”
