BTRG Achieves Certified Advantage Partner Status in Oracle® PartnerNetwork

Boston, Mass. – January 15, 2007 – The Business & Technology Resource Group, Inc. (BTRG), a full service systems integrator specializing in Oracle’s PeopleSoft Enterprise Financial Management and Oracle’s PeopleSoft Human Capital Management solutions, recently achieved Certified Advantage Partner status in the Oracle® PartnerNetwork. As a Certified Advantage Partner, BTRG has demonstrated the highest level of product knowledge, technical expertise, and an ongoing commitment to providing Oracle solutions.

Certified Advantage Partner designation is a distinguished honor as only a small portion of Oracle’s over 4,000 North America partners has achieved it. “For our customers, this elevated status is an assurance that BTRG consultants have the functional and technical skills needed to implement or upgrade Oracle’s PeopleSoft Enterprise applications – combined with our expertise in core industries such as Financial Services or Aerospace & Defense – we are truly our clients’ best choice”, said Tony Furnelli, managing director at BTRG.

“BTRG has been one of our most valuable and responsive go-to-market partners for Aerospace & Defense,” said Joe Marino, vice president, Aerospace and Defense Industries at Oracle. “BTRG’s unique expertise in this vertical has been invaluable as we work together to best serve our joint customers in this space.”

The achievement of this elevated partner status coincides with a new initiative at BTRG – educating customers on the benefits of Oracle Fusion Middleware. BTRG considers middleware to be one of the most strategic areas of business today since it can enable organizations to leverage their existing applications as well as prepare for an eventual migration to Oracle Fusion Applications. As part of this initiative BTRG is hosting a series of webinars to explain and explore the benefits of technologies such as XML Publisher, BPEL, and Application Management Pack for PeopleSoft. Each webinar lasts roughly an hour and is delivered by one of BTRG senior technology consultants. For more information, contact us at 1-877-BTRG-INC.
