In addition, to ensure that Oracle provides the highest levels of service to our customers in Asia Pacific in the most effective manner possible, the Asia Pacific Communications Industry Business Unit has established the Asia Pacific Communications Industry Integration Centre. Located in Malaysia, as the major part of Oracle’s mitment to the MSC, the Centre’s functions include: ? Complex Bid Support The Integration Centre will drive the marshalling of resources from the Comms Industry Group, LOB’s and partners (hardware and ISV) to form the necessary multidisciplinary (virtual) teams to support major bids. The Integration Centre and Comms Consulting Core Team will pool, document, and articulate industry experience from prior client engagements to leverage new engagements and facilitate bid replication and quantification to reduce the cost of sales and build margin. They will also assist the transfer of technology and skills to Oracle country teams and customers during project implementation. ? Prototyping/Integration Lab The Prototyping Lab will support customer and partner funded integration of Oracle products and custom project IP with partner products to reduce implementation cost (and risk) and increase customer satisfaction. This will be acplished by avoiding the use of a customer site as the integration testbed, and by demonstrating that integration has been done before, thus increasing the customers’ confidence and showing that we are helping reduce project risks. The Prototyping Lab will also serve as a “mag” for partners and customers to jointly invest in proofofconcept and prototyping investigations of new technologies (., wireless/satellite Inter, NC’s, ITV) and applications (., Webenabled OSS applications).
