The Pythian Group Inc., the leading provider of remote database infrastructure services, announced that it is teaming with Oracle® to provide Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) with a convenient and flexible all-in-one solution for licensing Oracle products and Pythian services required to correctly plan, deploy and manage the ISV’s database infrastructure.
With this new utility-based model, Oracle and Pythian have significantly lowered the barrier to entry for ISVs who wish to acquire Oracle technology and Pythian database services, by offering product and service in a straightforward and predictable monthly fashion, which lowers an ISV’s upfront business risk.
“Through Oracle SaaS for ISVs program, Oracle Partners can now scale their license investment based on monthly usage when deploying SaaS applications,” said, Kevin O’Brien, senior director, ISV and SaaS Strategy, Oracle.
“The key to this approach is that the ISV can scale their software and service use, either up or down without financial risk or penalty. ISVs who wish to work on the Oracle platform are well positioned to take advantage of such a SaaS model,” said Andrew Waitman, Chief Executive Officer at Pythian. “To be able to obtain industry leading software and expert service that scales as their business does, is very appealing for an ISV, particularly if they are launching a new product or service offering and want to ease into it.”
Pythian, a Platinum Level partner in the Oracle® PartnerNetwork (OPN), has been providing organizations with a utility-style database services model to plan, deploy, and manage their Oracle infrastructures for nearly ten years, and recently extended its service offerings to ISVs through the launch of a new ISV Partner Program.
