Saudi Business Machines (SBM) recently held a road show in the Kingdom to highlight IBM and Oracle's long existing strategic alliance, which optimizes business effectiveness of small, medium and large customers in the Saudi market.
IBM and Oracle have been providing customers with compelling joint solutions, combining the strength of IBM's hardware architecture and Oracle's relational database leadership for over 20 years. This global business relationship leverages the products and services of both companies to provide customers with unique value propositions that include market leading software, powerful hardware and unmatched global delivery capabilities.
IBM is Oracle's largest system integrator worldwide with over 15,000 joint applications customers worldwide. "Together what is spent on Oracle and what is spent on IBM accounts for $15 billion of customer opportunity every single year," says IBM's Stephen Leonard, VP, UNIX System Sales, EMEA. IBM and Oracle will allow Saudi customers to benefit from joint IBM/Oracle development, technology integration and services collaboration by providing the most comprehensive set of applications, services and solutions.
"IBM and Oracle have established a solid trend of world record performance results. We not only expect that trend to continue, but to deliver unprecedented levels of performance- definitely a winning combination that means value, synergy and a solution," says Oracle's Andrew Sutherland, Senior VP, Technology Sales, EMEA.
