"The Application integration Architecture for Partners Initiative enables us to work closely with Oracle to leverage our domain knowledge and industry best practices to create business critical, end-to-end solution for our joint customers," said Sriram Papani, Senior Vice President and Head of the Oracle Practice at Satyam. "This co-development effort extends our go-to-market partnership with Oracle while allowing us to deliver a faster, less expensive implementation featuring packaged PLM integrations and expert services." 

The PLM Process Integration Pack will enable rapid implementation of Oracle's next generation integrated enterprise PLM processes and will help customers reduce the cost and risk associated with typical third-party and custom integrations. Since the launch of the Oracle Application Integration Architecture (AIA), Oracle continues to see strong AIA momentum across its partner ecosystem, with major Systems Integrator (SI) partners, such as Satyam, making significant investments in strategic co-development efforts.

With Oracle AIA, SIs are able to build their own integration solutions using the AIA Foundation to promote a consistent and Service-Oriented Architecture based approach to business process integration across Oracle and third-party applications. This enables them to generate additional business and technical consulting revenue through integration; obtain technical strength and insight for Oracle AIA through training, development participation and validation programs; and increase revenue opportunities with differentiated, low cost, fast pace and sustainable service offerings.
