Ironworks is a proud partner of Oracle Corporation, the world's largest enterprise software company. Together, Ironworks and Oracle deliver market-leading enterprise software applications that provide differentiating business value, customer service, and workplace productivity.
These are exciting times to be a partner as Fusion applications and middleware (Oracle’s next generation of enterprise applications and technologies) evolve and mature, driven in part by Web 2.0.
Web 2.0 is creating a whole new set of tools to support the generation, documentation, and sharing of knowledge. Forrester Research calls this the “information workplace,” with tools that are “seamless, contextual, visual, individualized, multimodal, social, quick to create and modify,” says Erica Driver, principal analyst for Forrester Research. E-knowledge is much more than digitizing your knowledge assets and putting them online. It involves providing a web-based platform for the sharing of knowledge and then encouraging participation.
As an Oracle partner with a proven track record, Ironworks has access to a variety of Oracle resources that enable it to broaden and deepen its service offerings to its clients, including in the areas of: solution roadmaps, solution delivery, best practices, subject matter experts, and professional services.
Ironworks is also an Oracle Value-Added Reseller, which enables us to offer Oracle products to our clients at competitive prices.
