Group of people giving high five

Oracle has awarded Certus its UK & Ireland Partner of the Year Award in HCM Cloud, after the cloud implementation services firm demonstrated commitment to Oracle's cloud, with the results to back up it efforts.

"Certus Solutions has demonstrated an outstanding level of innovation in delivering proven, Oracle-based solutions that solve our joint customers' most critical business challenges,” said Simon Hill, head of UKI alliances & channels.

“We congratulate Certus Solutions in achieving the 2017 UK & Ireland Partner of the Year Award in HCM Cloud. This achievement is a testament to its dedication to excellence and to providing customers solutions and services that drive real business value and results.”

Oracle highlighted Certus's engage.gov - its implementation accelerator, methodology and support service - which the company set up to make it easier for public sector businesses to adopt Oracle's cloud portfolio.

The scheme's first customer was the government's Office of National Statistics, which rolled out its Oracle implementation in October last year.

“Certus Solutions was formed with the intent of being the best cloud implementer, and HCM is where we started," Tim Warner, chairman of Certus, said.

"After five years of exceptional growth, working closely with Oracle Development, we are widely recognised as thought leaders in this area with many successful implementations. We are honoured Oracle has recognised us with this prestigious award."

Oracle also said it was impressed by Certus Solutions' adoption of its partner network's specialised approach, which helps partners become specialised in various Oracle solution areas.
