FORDS, N.J. and SEATTLE, December 18, 2006
Miro Consulting Inc. and Solution Beacon, LLC have formed a strategic alliance to deliver Oracle expertise designed to streamline Oracle application upgrades and lower the total cost of ownership. 

Miro Consulting helps companies analyze, negotiate or re-negotiate enterprise software contracts as well as manage their ongoing software asset needs to achieve the lowest total cost of ownership and assure licensing compliance.  Solution Beacon specializes in the management of Oracle’s E-Business Suite life-cycle suite – including implementation, upgrades, assessments, training, testing and database management.  Both companies service Fortune 1000 companies as well as mid-size organizations.

“Between the software upgrades and the thousands of agreement changes made each year by software companies – like Oracle and Microsoft – CIO and IT departments heads are drowning in administrative minutia,” said Scott Rosenberg, chief executive officer, Miro Consulting.  “These corporate heads are seeking laser-focused specialists to solve their software nightmares.  Our alliance with Solution Beacon will allow CIOs to sleep better at night.”  

“The marriage between our hands-on technical consultants and Miro’s in-depth understanding of software licensing and compliance makes for a harmonious partnership that is beneficial to any company using Oracle,” said John P. Nicholson, director of Business Development, Solution Beacon.  “With this alliance, our clients will be getting value added services.”
