Oracle Corp has signed ICL Plc to a worldwide agreement to resell its entire product line as part of ICL’s systems integration service. The agreement is being led by ICL Enterprises and is the fourth of its kind Oracle has signed in Europe under its Business Alliance Programme. Oracle’s UK managing director Philip Crawford said the pact was in recognition that ICL was much stronger in front of the customer expertise in systems integration and that Oracle is not a systems integrator, as he put it. ICL is training 100 of its staff in Oracle software and ICL companies bought ú2m of the products between them. Oracle will act as consultants for its products, but leave the rest to ICL people. It also has agreements with Ingres Corp and Sybase Inc, but covering only their databases.
