Walpole Partnership Blog and News

Those of you who are close to Oracle will know that the product team has been working very hard behind the scenes to unify the user experience of all their products. Seeing as Oracle probably has thousands of solutions, we're sure you can imagine that this is a monumental task. But now, the UI (User Interface) has finally been released and it is being called Jet UI. So what is all the fuss about, and if you have a cloud based CPQ system, should you be keen to use Jet UI and send your CPQ on a jet?

Our relationship-based Configure, Price, Quote (CPQ) project work has, once more, taken us to France, and we're pleased to announce that we're partnering with Studia Digital on a current CPQ implementation. We are working for a major services company and are streamlining the way that they interact with their client member organisations and suppliers network. We are also working in conjunction with other consulting lead partners integrating CPQ with eCommerce next to Oracle Engagement Cloud, and we’re looking forward to sharing more about the project soon!

Walpole Partnership's Senior Consultant, Ingmar Hermans, was pleased to represent the company by working with the Oracle Sales team in Solna, Sweden recently. It was great for him to be in touch with some of the key players based over there. Huge thanks to Ronny Linnerheim for hosting Ingmar and for taking the time to introduce him to the respective team members. It was brilliant to have the opportunity to discuss collaborative CPQ project progress and to talk about how to optimise support for new joint business opportunities in the region in the near future. 

We are really proud to share with our friends and followers that one of Walpole Partnership's Directors, Lisa Zevi, has just published her first book.

It will help you build a business that works and enables you to become truly entrepreneurial in your outlook and approach. Packed with practical tools and techniques, the book shares advice on how to avoid distraction, overwhelm and fire-fighting, and build a great team around you so business can thrive.

Congratulations Pradeep and thank you for all your hard work!

Is it time for you to sit down and actually map out your selling process from quote to cash? This recent post from Oracle's Small-to-Medium Business (SMB) Blog eloquently explains what Breakthrough Opportunity Analysis (BOA) Workshops are, and shares the knowledge that they are often one of the only ways that SMBs can grasp a full understanding of how their business flows. It's well worth a read.

Walpole Partnership is delighted to announce the positive outcome of the collaborative CPQ project implementation for the Sauermann Group, a leading industrial manufacturer of pumps and instruments, headquartered in Brussels (Belgium). We're helping the Kimo-Sauermann organisation reap the many benefits of implementing Oracle CPQ (Configure, Price, Quote) Cloud. Walpole Partnership is proud to lead the continued implementation work with Studia Digital (Imnet) and BPI OnDemand to deliver a great CPQ solution, fully integrated through Oracle Integration Cloud (OIC) with Oracle Engagement and Service Cloud supporting the Digital Transformation journey towards a true 360 degree customer view for our client.

Walpole Partnership's Senior Consultant, Ingmar Hermans, very much enjoyed representing the company by working with the Oracle Digital sales team on a recent visit to the Oracle Amsterdam offices in the Netherlands. It was great for him to meet up with some of the Oracle sales team based over there. Huge thanks to Roope Ranta for hosting Ingmar, and to Susann Knobloch and Guro Broen who took the time to see him with their respective teams. It was wonderful to have the opportunity to discuss collaborative CPQ project progress and to talk about how to optimise support for new joint business opportunities in the region in the near future.

Our relationship-based Configure, Price, Quote (CPQ) project work has once again taken us to Sweden. We’re very pleased to announce that we are currently helping a major telecommunication services company and are streamlining the way that they utilise Oracle CPQ Cloud. We look forward to sharing the results from this work soon.

Walpole Partnership is very proud to be an Oracle Cloud Excellence Implementer (CEI) for Oracle CPQ Cloud, and the Oracle CX Solution Consultants are a great asset in providing instrumental contributions to the CPQ pre-sales technical support activities. They assist us in delivering successful CPQ demonstrations and provide input to CPQ proposals and RFI/RFP/RFQ responses, and are willing to apply and disseminate their ever-growing CPQ technical knowledge. We have a great working relationship with many of the consultants, but it's always good to get some feedback from them. Huge thanks to Carlos Sanmartin Siera OD CX Solution Engineer Manager, Malaga (Spain) for letting us share the following, “I would like to take the opportunity to thank Walpole Partnership for the great support that you are providing Oracle. We are always delighted to work with you. Thanks!" It's always pleasing to end the working week on a happy note.
