		<description>Hi Mike,

There are three different levels of Partnership, Member Partner, Certified Partner and Certified Advantage Partner. We have started at the Member Partner level which means we pay a chunk of money to Oracle and have a Partner Manager assigned to us so we can get our name 'out there' in the Oracle Partner network. This level of partnership makes sense for us right now.

We do plan to move up to Certified Partner soon however, which involves some license sales (to our clients etc), OCP certification and some other qualification criteria.

You can find out a bit more information about partnership levels from the Oracle Partner site -
