Polecat Recognised at Oracle UK Partner Awards
London, UK – 16 March 2009
Polecat today announced that it was awarded the Emerging Business in Technology award at the 2009 Oracle UK Partner Awards ceremony held at London’s Landmark Hotel on March 12. Oracle judges recognised Polecat’s success in delivering innovative solutions and achieving strong customer success using Oracle technology.
James Lawn, Chief Executive, Polecat said:

Through the Oracle Partner Network, Oracle has offered a strong innovation and partnering ethos so relevant to a small but fast-growing business like Polecat. We are honoured to receive the Emerging Business in Technology Award. We look forward to ongoing technology, marketing and sales engagement with Oracle, and continued business benefit in customer delivery for the Customer, Oracle and Polecat alike.
Alan Hartwell, Vice President. Technology Solutions and Channels, Oracle UK said:

They have demonstrated truly innovative solutions and are a great example of a company that has thought outside the box to bring true business value for customers.
