MEMBER NEWS: Cegal Wins the 2024 Oracle Partner Awards – Cloud/Technology Innovation Category

A Nordic partner has won the prestigious Oracle Awards Innovation Category for the first time. Oracle recognizes prize winner Cegal’s ability to develop and deliver pioneering solutions through partnering with Oracle.

At Oracle CloudWorld last night, Oracle announced that Cegal is a winner in the 2024 Oracle Partner Awards— Cloud/Technology Europe North East Innovation Category. This award highlights partners that produce thought-leadership-level solutions that empower Oracle customers to meet their business goals and challenges through the partner’s innovative solution. Partners considered for this award have developed solutions integrating multiple Oracle technologies and products and integrated a third-party Oracle technology partner into their solution.

This is the first time a Nordic partner has won the Oracle Innovation Award.

Dagfinn Ringaas, CEO of Cegal, says: “We are extremely proud to have received Oracle’s Innovation Award for the first time. This shows that we have succeeded in developing our employees and are continuing on our way to becoming a stellar, global tech company.”

Cegal earned the award recognition for their work completing a successful cloud migration to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) at one of Norway’s most significant car companies, with over a hundred dealers and import, service, and car workshops. It has given the company great business value, new business opportunities, and a good return on investment (ROI). By migrating to OCI and modernizing with cloud-native applications, some of the benefits gained were:

  • A robust, secure, and scalable operational platform for Norwegian dealer systems.
  • Access to modern service management tools.
  • 24/7 operations for customer-facing services.
  • Reduced license cost.

Cegal is recognized as a leading provider of Oracle technology in the Nordics. With hundreds of Oracle certifications and several specializations, Cegal is the Nordic region’s largest Oracle competence consultancy house. Since the company started in 2000, Cegal has helped many Norway’s most prominent companies get the most out of their investments in Oracle Technologies.

Get in touch

AREG is the original energy transition organisation, working on behalf of members to empower the energy supply chain and champion its expertise. Please get in touch if you have any questions or would like to find out more about membership.

AREG has played an important role in the growth of Scotland’s renewable energy sector, engaging the supply chain and developing the European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre. However, we are only at the very beginning of the transition that AREG was established to both lead and support so there are still opportunities for companies to get into the constantly evolving renewables supply chain. We look forward to continuing our work together as renewables builds on its place as Scotland’s main source of power, and as we seek to deliver real change in the crucial areas of heat and transport.

Aberdeen & Grampian Chamber of Commerce has worked closely with AREG since its formation. The recent progress in the developments of offshore wind projects by Equinor and Vattenfall are as a result of the work of the group over many years. The north-east is known as the oil and gas capital of Europe. At the Chamber, we believe the region must evolve its position to being recognised as the energy capital. Whilst hydrocarbons will continue to be essential in driving our economy for years to come, the generation of renewable resources will play an increasingly important role in providing cost-effective power, innovative development and economic growth.

The enthusiasm and dedication of the early group that would become AREG was fundamental in us choosing to launch All-Energy in Aberdeen. The first tiny show was held in 2001, and AREG’s Chairman at the time, Jeremy Cresswell, played such an active role that I often describe him in terms such as All-Energy’s ‘midwife’. All-Energy is now the UK’s largest renewable and low carbon energy exhibition and conference in terms of number of attendees, space booked, and number of exhibiting companies. As AREG became firmly established, their presence and support for the event grew spectacularly over the years. We thank them most sincerely for their invaluable input.

Vattenfall has forged a strong working relationship with AREG through the development of the European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre. AREG has worked tirelessly on behalf of the North East and it can take enormous credit for the growth of sustainable energy in the region and the path it has cleared for the region to capture further investment.

Aberdeen City and Shire is emerging as a key location for renewables by successfully transferring its world-class oil and gas expertise into the sector and AREG has done much to advance this through a broad range of initiatives. It has acted as a catalyst in driving further investment in the local economy by engaging with companies, Government, public bodies and existing projects and we have been pleased to support their efforts. Scottish Enterprise will continue to engage with AREG as we increase Scotland’s use of renewable energy.
