Under the deal, Oracle will provide licensed software and upgrades to all SSI

centers and co-sign all certificates for Oracle foundation modules and Java

developer programs, SSI said in a statement released late on Thursday.

Oracle Software India is a subsidiary of US-based Oracle Corp. and markets

the complete range of its parent's products in India.

"This alliance strengthens our commitment to partner with industry

leaders to add value to each of our services," SSI's chairman and chief

executive officer Kalpathi Suresh, said.

Late last year, SSI wrapped up a cash-and-stock acquisition valued at $63.65

million of US-based technology firm AlbionOrion LLC. It was the largest

cross-border takeover by an Indian firm to date.
