The Mission
The Microsoft Oracle Center of Excellence MOCE (pronounced "mah-chee") was created to provide a single point of service for joint Microsoft and Oracle customers.
Specifically, we have extensive knowledge and background in performance tuning, architecting scalable and highly available database systems around Siebel, PeopleSoft, and JD Edwards on the SQL Server platform. Within our team, we have worked on some of the largest Oracle application systems in the world, from 20,000 user Siebel systems, multi-terabyte PeopleSoft and JD Edwards deployments in sectors ranging from government, hotel management, finance, manufacturing, high tech, and telecommunications.
The MOCE can also help with proof of concepts, provide support with ISVs on solutions, work with systems integrators on deployments, pre-sales opportunities, and migrations.
