LiveData Becomes Oracle PartnerNetwork Silver Level Partner


LiveData, a pioneer in operational intelligence data integration for the Smart Grid, today announced that it has become a Silver Partner in Oracle PartnerNetwork (OPN) Specialized program. By attaining Silver Level membership, LiveData will benefit from its more detailed exposure to and experience in working with the Oracle (News - Alert) Utilities Network Management System.

Oracle Utilities Network Management System (NMS) is a modular platform with both a common user interface and flexibility to roll-out functionality as needed for smooth operation. The system ties grid operations to utilities' business processes to shorten outage durations, optimize distribution grid operation, and move toward deploying new power conservation techniques and incorporating renewable energy into the grid.

LiveData Real Time Integration (RTI) technology can capture, transform, and securely deliver data from sensors, devices, and applications on the electric power grid, enabling grid management systems to efficiently detect, report, and resolve outage incidents. LiveData RTI operational intelligence middleware provides bidirectional communication between Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems and Oracle.

"With Oracle Silver Partner status, LiveData has earned the ability to work more closely with the Oracle Utilities NMS," said Brad Harkavy, General Manager LiveData Utilities. "As a result, we can merge disparate data sources feeding Oracle Utilities Network Management System."

Prducts like LiveData RTI Server understand the applications that monitor and control operations in the electric power industry (SCADA, DCS, EMS, OMS) and how to flow data to and between them, across all major public and proprietary protocols (such as ICCP/TASE.2, OPC, DNP3, IEC (News - Alert) 61850, Modbus, Allen-Bradley, and PG&E).



With its Silver status, LiveData receives ability to develop, sell and implement Oracle's 1-Click product portfolio, allowing them to increase competitive positioning and profitability with midsize companies. In addition, LiveData receives the benefit of being able to leverage the OPN Portal tools and resources and experts within the Oracle Partner Business Center to increase their market knowledge and ability to maximize customer sales and retention with Oracle. Silver Level partners also are eligible for discounts on Oracle training, lead registration via Open Market Model, entry into the Oracle Solutions Catalog, discounts on Oracle Linux and Oracle VM Support and more.
