		<description>Frans:  Per the OPN Specialized slogan, &quot;preferred by Oracle, recognized by customers&quot;,  Oracle direct sales and other teams within Oracle will most often look first to the OPN Specialized Partners when seeking assistance with sales, integration, implementation, etc. situations, where an Oracle Partner’s help is needed or the best solution.  As for your second comment, ‘yes’, Oracle is also currently planning to launch industry focused Oracle product OPN Specializations.

		<description>Thanks Steve; From my past experiences working with Oracle, Oracle Partners and Oracle consulting I understand the context of your message. Specialization in Oracle technology is already a pre-requisit for being able to implement successfully a project. What can Oracle direct sales add through this new partner-structure? Is Oracle direct sales bringing potential new project of existing or new customers in contact with the Industry appropriate partners. Industry and cross-functional knowledge was not mentioned in the announcement.</description>

We currently offer Oracle E-Business Suite OPN Specializations for Financial Managements Systems (FMS) and Supply Chain Management (SCM) and the next Oracle E-Business Suite Specialization is targeted to be HRMS.
