OPN Membership Types

Let's make sure that you understand the two types of membership in OPN, so you make the right selection when the time comes. And, no worries, we'll guide you to the best option based on what you tell us about your company.

Principal: Your company is a single entity or has subsidiaries in one or more countries and you want those subsidiaries to join OPN under your OPN Agreement. Typically, a company's headquarter entity has the central role of executing all agreements, selecting, and paying for the Level subscription fee, approving Associates, as well as managing benefits, Oracle Partner Credits and partner designations, including Expertise and Oracle Validated Integrations.

NOTE: If you decide to select Principal membership type, we recommend that you watch this video to determine how you would like to engage with Oracle, based on your business strategy (Note, you do not have to enroll into an optional Path immediately):

Associate: Your company is a wholly or majority owned subsidiary of an existing (Principal) partner as defined in the OPN Agreement. Your membership will be associated to your parent (Principal) company and will be subject to the terms and conditions of the OPN Agreement executed by your company’s Principal entity.

NOTE: If you enroll as an Associate, your Principal (parent) company must be an active OPN member before you enroll since the contractual terms of the OPN Agreement will be signed by your Principal company. Also, your membership will go through review by your parent company (the "Principal" entity) prior to being approved.

Still not sure which type to select?

Select your OPN Numerical Level

OPN offers numerical subscription Levels (Levels 0 and above) designed to provide differentiated benefits and resources to assist you in engaging with Oracle and with our customers.

In selecting an OPN Numerical Level, you have flexibility and choice in determining how you would like to invest in benefits and incentives that make the most sense for your business. Visit oracle.com/partner to learn more.

Enroll into Optional Paths

With subscription to Level 1 or above, you will have the option to enroll into optional Paths, at no additional cost, based on your areas of go-to-market focus. You may enroll into optional Paths anytime during your membership term, however, please note that your Path enrollment will be tied to your membership date.

Optional Paths:

• Industry Healthcare Path: provides additional resources to assist you in building and selling your value-added package that is built with Oracle Cloud Services and certain Oracle Healthcare products.
• License and Hardware Path: provides additional resources to assist you in building your value-added package as well as reselling and supporting Oracle programs and/or hardware with your value-added package.

To ensure you’re ready to provide your company details in a format that we can validate, here's a quick overview of the required fields:

Company Legal Structure
During your subscription process, we'll ask what type of legal form your organization is. Depending on your response, we may need to point you to other options or request additional information for our review to make sure we'll be proceeding with the right type of partnership.

The selections are:

• Publicly Traded Entity
  Entity whose stock or equity interest is listed on an exchange or trading market. If 30% or more of your company is owned by a government or state-owned entity, please select “Government or State-Owned Entity”.

Years in Business / Number of Employees
OPN membership is geared toward established companies that are at least six (6) months old and have a baseline level of at least five (5) employees which is what is truly necessary to deliver on our mutual strategies of delivering demonstrable customer success.

If your company is less than six months old, has fewer than five employees, or is a sole proprietorship, unfortunately, OPN is not set up for this type of structure. We look forward to your potential growth and would like to help. Please consider getting started by accessing resources on the Developer Resource Center or through Oracle University learning options.

• Full payment in advance of membership activation and benefit availability

OR

• Request quarterly payments of equal amounts beginning with membership activation and benefit availability.

Once you complete your subscription process, you can expect to receive your invoice from Oracle for the payment of the Level subscription fee (and applicable taxes) within 3-5 business days. The invoice will be sent to the “Bill To” contact submitted during your subscription process. Please reference your Subscription ID on your payment, to expedite processing.

Submitting Your Subscription – What to Expect

Your OPN Level subscription (and any optional Paths you enroll in) will be activated based on approval and receipt of payment by Oracle, regardless of payment type selected. Payment must be submitted upon receipt of the invoice to avoid membership deactivation or termination.

When your OPN membership subscription has been approved and activated, you'll receive a Welcome Letter notification with all the details you need to get off to a great start. Additionally, your "Bill To" contact will receive a copy of your paid invoice, so you'll have that for your records. Keep an eye out for these emails as sometimes they end up in your spam folder.
