Leading organizations realize immediate benefits from Oracle real-time collaboration software

Technology Drives Better, Faster Collaboration to Increase Efficiency and Improve Business Results

ORACLE(R) OPENWORLD, SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 8, 2004 -- Oracle (Nasdaq: ORCL) today announced that many leading organizations are experiencing increased productivity, accelerated sales cycles and improved customer satisfaction through their use of Oracle(R) Real-Time Collaboration software (Oracle RTC), a component of Oracle Collaboration Suite 10g. Organizations that span a broad range of industries participated in the Oracle Collaboration Suite 10g beta program including, Allen Lund Company, BAE Systems Naval Ships, Earthlink, Rotech Healthcare and University of North Carolina.

Beta customers who have already realized improved productivity from Oracle's Web conferencing are also benefiting from the new capabilities in Oracle RTC. Organizations using Oracle RTC are experiencing increased individual productivity and a boost to the bottom line as it has helped increase sales and reduce costs. Additionally, IT administrators are able to use a single collaboration environment -- as opposed to being required to manage several point solutions -- enabling simplified administration, reduced maintenance and a lower total cost of ownership.

"Oracle Real-Time Collaboration is giving our company a competitive advantage," said Kenny Lund, vice president, information technology, Allen Lund Company. "We pride ourselves on working together and this makes it easy. When we need information from our internal experts, we know if they are available and can contact them immediately to get the answers required to get the job done."

"Oracle Web conferencing literally has changed our culture," said Jason Last, enterprise solutions architect, BAE Systems Naval Ships. "It helps us to achieve full integration across multiple sites, businesses and partners, assisting to reduce product development time. It also plays a key role in increasing our meeting productivity and the effectiveness of our communications, helping this global company communicate like a local company."

"Oracle Real-Time Collaboration will give our employees a tool that enables them to more effectively work with others throughout the organization," said Michael Proto, systems analyst, Earthlink. "With the integration of Web conferencing and instant messaging, team members can instantly determine who is available so they can quickly collaborate to analyze problems and better serve our customers."

Oracle RTC is the only integrated, secure, presence-aware software designed to meet all the real-time collaboration needs of an enterprise. With Web conferencing, instant messaging, and voice capabilities, Oracle RTC software enables individuals and groups to detect presence, meet, communicate and collaborate with colleagues, customers and partners in a seamless and unified manner. Further, these capabilities can be embedded into business applications, portals, Web sites, and desktop productivity applications, to provide collaboration in context, thereby increasing the effectiveness of communication and driving faster, better business results.

"Integrating real-time collaboration services within line-of-business applications reduces business latency while improving process performance and worker productivity," said Mike Gotta, senior vice president and principal analyst, META Group. "To realize these benefits, organizations should prioritize solutions that deliver modular services that can be customized to meet the needs of individual lines of business while also delivering a unified framework to reduce enterprise complexity."

"Customers are validating our vision of an integrated, enterprise real-time collaboration solution," said Greg Doherty, vice president, Oracle Collaboration Suite, Oracle Corp. "The real-time capabilities in Oracle Collaboration Suite 10g will enable companies to become more productive and help them to make timely decisions. These features offer a critical integration point for enterprise applications and contribute to the evolution of the collaboration-enabled enterprise."
