Commenting on the achievement, Ken McMahon, Head of Oracle Integration at Version 1, said:
“The Oracle Cloud Managed Services Partner Programme allows us to incorporate Oracle Cloud subscriptions within the broader Version 1 Managed Services contract.
At the time of accreditation, there were only 28 partners globally accredited to the programme and just two across the UK and Ireland. Version 1 was also the first EMEA partner to complete a customer transaction through the Managed Services Partner Programme.”
The accreditation highlighted Version 1’s ability to support customers throughout the entire Oracle Cloud lifecycle, from procurement and migration through to operational support and ongoing optimisation.
