Ingram Micro has joined the Oracle Cloud Distribution Programme to expand access to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) in Australia. The agreement will enable the company to offer OCI through its Australian channel partners, supporting cloud adoption and AI deployments.
The Oracle Cloud Distribution Programme is designed to expand OCI through regional and country-specific distributors, with a focus on small- and medium-sized businesses. As an Oracle PartnerNetwork (OPN) member, Ingram Micro will also provide partners with access to Oracle’s cloud, database, data management and enterprise technologies.
“Oracle is one of the world’s most recognised enterprise technology companies and we are incredibly proud to welcome its portfolio to Ingram Micro in Australia,” said Hope McGarry, Vice President and Chief Country Executive, Australia, Ingram Micro.
“We see significant opportunity across cloud, data and AI, while also giving our partners access to Oracle’s broader technology portfolio. This expands the choices available to our partners and helps them address more of their customers’ technology priorities through a single distribution relationship, while continuing to choose the solutions and suppliers that best meet their customers’ needs. Our role is to make Oracle’s capabilities easier to access, adopt and scale across the Australian channel.”
Ingram Micro said it will support the programme through dedicated sales and technical resources, partner enablement and demand generation activities. The company also plans to use its AI-powered Xvantage platform to help partners identify and develop Oracle opportunities.
“Organisations in Australia are increasingly looking to cloud infrastructure and AI services to help modernise critical workloads and support innovation,” said Stephen Bovis, Regional Managing Director, Australia and New Zealand, Oracle. “By working with Ingram Micro, we are extending access to OCI through one of Australia’s largest technology partner ecosystems.
“Together, Oracle and Ingram Micro intend to make Oracle’s cloud and AI capabilities more accessible through the Australian partner ecosystem while providing enablement and support to help them build long-term cloud practices.”
Cloud and AI are central to this relationship, but the opportunity is much broader,” said Kaaren Lewis, Director, Advanced Solutions, Cloud, Cybersecurity and AI, Ingram Micro. “Oracle offers capabilities across cloud infrastructure, AI, data, databases, applications and enterprise technology.
“Together with Oracle’s multicloud approach, this gives our partners access to the world’s leading cloud platforms, while also opening new opportunities across the broader Oracle portfolio. We will combine that technology with Ingram Micro’s specialist expertise, enablement, and go-to-market support to help partners build capabilities and create new customer opportunities.”
