Industry News

Increasingly, enterprises are realizing the benefits that industry standards and SOA bring to their technology infrastructure and business operations, enabling them to fuse their various business applications and systems, old and new. Industry-leading solution providers cite Oracle's rapid market and customer adoption, support for standards, best-in-class middleware functionality and breadth of middleware products - from application development and integration to security, deployment and Web service monitoring -- as key factors in adopting Oracle Fusion Middleware products. Oracle's ability to deliver an open, standards-based technology makes it easier for partners to work with their customers' existing investments and lay the foundation for an SOA.

This family of Oracle products presents a significant opportunity for partners, ISVs and SIs. Oracle Fusion Middleware will help ISVs spend less time building integration points between various technologies and applications and more time building competitive, vertical differentiators. SIs spend less time integrating systems and more time solving customers' business problems, developing repeatable solutions that can be leveraged across their client-base. Customers also benefit significantly as standards-based offerings can be more easily integrated into an existing IT environment, minimizing costly integration obstacles and accelerating time-to-value for new initiatives.

Recent additions to the company's partner programs bring the total number of Packaged Application and Infrastructure Software vendors using Oracle Fusion Middleware to more than 4,750. Partners are leveraging Oracle Fusion Middleware to extend the value of existing systems and simplify adoption of SOAs.
