Avnet extends its distribution agreement with
Oracle to create new cloud computing opportunities for Oracle
PartnerNetwork members in Brazil, Chile, Mexico, Venezuela and the
Caribbean
Avnet Technology Solutions, a global IT solutions distribution
leader and an operating group of Avnet, Inc. (NYSE: AVT),
announced it has become among the first distributors to offer
Oracle Cloud services in Latin America and the Caribbean. Avnet
will provide these services through Oracle’s recently introduced
Value Added Distributor (VAD) program and help Oracle
PartnerNetwork (OPN) members obtain the specializations needed to
solve their customers’ business needs with Oracle Cloud services.
Avnet will offer these services in Brazil, Chile, Mexico, Venezuela
and the Caribbean, and they include Oracle Cloud offerings related
to enterprise performance management, financials, human capital
management, portfolio management, procurement, social relationship
management, supply chain and vertical industry applications.
“This is yet another landmark expansion into the Latin America
and Caribbean region to help our partners capitalize on the rapidly
growing cloud computing market with innovative solutions,” said
Sergio Farache, senior vice president and general manager at Avnet
Technology Solutions, Latin America and Caribbean. “Avnet’s channel
partners in region will be able to leverage our local market
knowledge and regional business development practices in order to
round out their portfolios to better serve their customers. Avnet
and Oracle will work closely together to provide our customers with
the training, resources and tools they need to quickly bring these
cloud services to market.”
This news comes on the heels of Avnet’s recent announcement that
it would begin offering Oracle’s full-stack capabilities, including
Oracle Systems, Oracle Technology and Oracle Applications in
Venezuela, as well as providing channel partners with Oracle
Systems initially in Puerto Rico, with plans to extend this into
other Caribbean markets in the future. Avnet is one of the largest

Oracle Cloud solutions,” said Bruce Chumley, group vice president,
Worldwide Alliances and Channels Sales, Oracle. “This opportunity
reinforces Avnet and Oracle’s relationship by enhancing the overall
