DALLAS, Oct. 23, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Hitachi Consulting, a subsidiary of Hitachi, Ltd (TSE: 6501), and a leading provider of IT consulting and management consulting solutions and services, continues to reinforce its Diamond Level status, the highest ranking available in the Oracle PartnerNetwork (OPN) Specialized program.  With 40 Specializations and 13 Advanced Specializations across a broad range of Oracle Products and Industries, Hitachi Consulting has further proven the depth of its global organization and scope of its implementation resources.

"We believe the firm has demonstrated unprecedented and remarkable momentum in FY13, by way of investments in staff, training, collaboration with Oracle in new product development, as well as internal standardization on Oracle applications and technology", continued Lutes.  With 40 Oracle Specializations and 13 Advanced Specializations to date, Hitachi Consulting recognizes it is those investments that have driven growth not just for Hitachi Consulting, but most importantly for our clients as well."

Hitachi Consulting has Advanced Specializations across the Oracle E-Business Suite, including financials, supply chain, and human capital management.  Hitachi Consulting also possesses Advanced Specializations relevant to the Oracle Internet of Things Platform, from Java to Oracle SOA Suite to Oracle Business Intelligence – as well as Specializations across the Oracle E-Business Suite Supply Chain Management, Oracle E-Business Suite Value Chain Planning, Oracle E-Business Suite Value Chain Execution, and Oracle Agile Product Lifecycle Management.
