  • 2:25 – Sample partner success: Cloud Creek Systems.
  • 3:00 – Where to find more information.

Partners Get Specialized

As Gray mentioned, true believers in the OPN Specialized partner program include Cloud Creek Systems, a Southern California solutions provider. Cloud Creek serves mid-size businesses that run data-intensive applications, especially customer-facing web-based applications.

In the FastChat videos below, Cloud Creek Executive VP Rhos B. Dyke expains how and why his company works with Oracle. Plus, Dyke describes a recent customer win involving MyLife.
