# What are the advantages of working with Oracle resellers for organizations evaluating solutions?

<p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">Hey G2 community, I'm exploring the real advantages of buying Oracle database through a reseller versus going direct, and pulled reviews on the partners teams actually use. Reviews focus on delivery and relationship rather than the buy-versus-direct math, so that trade-off is open for discussion. In the<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/categories/oracle-database-resellers"> </a><a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/categories/oracle-database-resellers">Oracle database resellers</a> category, three surface most: TCS, Cognizant, and Capgemini. The wider list:</p><ol>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/tata-consultancy-services/reviews"><strong>Tata Consultancy Services</strong></a>: reviewers point to scale, reliability, and cost-competitive global delivery.</li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/cognizant/reviews"><strong>Cognizant</strong></a>: strong enterprise expertise and faster time to market across ERP and cloud.</li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/capgemini-services/reviews"><strong>Capgemini Services</strong></a>: large teams and platform depth for complex programs.</li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/immixgroup/reviews"><strong>immixGroup</strong></a>: a procurement-focused reseller with a broad technology-partner network, though reviewers split on responsiveness and it is built for large buyers.</li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/ntt-data-consulting-services/reviews"><strong>NTT DATA Consulting Services</strong></a>: professional, detail-oriented delivery on a smaller review base.</li>
</ol><p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">What did working through a reseller get you that going direct wouldn't, better pricing, added services, or one point of accountability? And where did it add friction?</p>

Worth splitting this into two different questions before comparing firms, since &quot;reseller advantage&quot; actually means two unrelated things here. immixGroup&#39;s advantage is procurement leverage, better pricing and contract-vehicle access, which doesn&#39;t require much technical delivery depth to provide. TCS, Cognizant, and Capgemini&#39;s advantage is technical delivery expertise, faster, more reliable implementation, which is a completely different value proposition that has nothing to do with purchasing power. A buyer chasing better pricing and a buyer chasing implementation quality are solving different problems, and the same reseller rarely wins on both at once, so it&#39;s worth deciding which advantage you&#39;re actually after before comparing these firms against each other.
