Oracle AIA Release 2.5, with a total 30 PIPs and four Foundation Packs, enables critical business processes across multiple industries, and reinforces Oracle's ongoing commitment to providing customers with integration solutions that can be extended and more cost effectively managed and sustained over time. Oracle AIA provides an open, standards-based approach for organizations to integrate end-to-end business processes across a broad range of custom, Oracle or third-party applications, while gaining efficiencies, increasing competitive edge and enabling lower total cost of ownership.
