Alternative Technology Expands Alternative Advantage with Voucher Plus Partner Program for Oracle

Oct. 21, 2008 - PRLog -- Englewood, Colo.    Alternative Technology, Inc., an Arrow Electronics, Inc. company and leading specialty distributor of thin-client/server-based computing, edge infrastructure, virtualization, storage and security solutions, today announced the Alternative Advantage Voucher Plus Program for Oracle.  Alternative Technology is making this expanded program available to its North American channel, enabling partners to earn vouchers at an accelerated rate in order to help stimulate channel profitability, sales, education and technical support activities for Oracle® Business Intelligence, Oracle Application Server and Oracle Database 0ptions/Manager solutions.

“The Alternative Advantage Partner Program was established to help increase the profitability of our North American channel partners and help them gain a strategic advantage over their competition by leveraging our technical resources,” said Lee Fawcett, vice president of professional services, Alternative Technology.  “The AAPP works on a ‘frequent buyer concept,’ rewarding partners with Universal Vouchers earned at every level achieved.  Vouchers can be used for technology training of their engineers, or they can resell our training or our on-site engineering services to their customers at a profit.  They can also use them to access Market Development Funds or buy evaluation units.  With the Voucher Plus Program for Oracle, Alternative Technology enables Alternative Technology-Oracle resellers to double or triple their AAPP-accrued vouchers when they are used for our consulting services related to Oracle Business Intelligence, Application Server and Data Base Options/Managers solutions, including on-site training and sales support, and implementation services”, said Fawcett.

“There is significant market momentum and opportunity for Oracle products, and the expanded Alternative Technology voucher program will allow North American channel partners to more easily and profitably tap into those opportunities,” said John Gray, group vice president, North American Technology Alliances & Channels at Oracle.
