Market
leading software companies to build on capabilities of Oracle Collaboration
Suite
Posted: 26 February 2003
Scansoft, Symantec and Wingra Technologies Among Top Companies
To Integrate with Oracle to Capture Collaboration Market Share
Dubai — Oracle Corp, the world’s largest
enterprise software company, announced that software industry leaders
in files and email system management plan to work with Oracle to
enhance file and storage management, content security, virus protection
and anti-spam capabilities of Oracle® Collaboration Suite. Scansoft
enhances file management offerings, while partners such as Mailshell
and Symantec extend the email capabilities of Oracle Collaboration
Suite. BrightMail, Feith Systems, LEGATO Systems, Inc. and Wingra
Technologies have plans to complete integration later this year.
Today’s business environment demands increased productivity
through improved collaboration and decreased costs of administration.
Oracle Collaboration Suite is the first product that leverages a
relational database to offer a secure and reliable way to simplify
communications and consolidate information with a suite of applications
including file management, email, voicemail, calendaring and search
capabilities.
Scansoft provides Oracle Collaboration Suite customers with an
integrated scanning, optical character recognition, and desktop
document management capability. Feith Systems plans to deliver a
robust government-certified document solution integrated with Oracle
Files.
Brightmail, Mailshell, and Symantec, pioneers in the anti-virus
and anti-spam markets, will lend unprecedented security assurance
to Oracle Collaboration Suite. Elements of LEGATO's EmailXtender
Family will provide Oracle Collaboration Suite email with auditing
and policy-based archiving and eradication solutions, capabilities
that are vital to regulated industries such as financial services,
healthcare, and the public sector. Another partner, Wingra Technologies,
intends to extend Oracle’s email migration and co-existence
tools to ensure Oracle Collaboration Suite customers can seamlessly
migrate from Exchange, Notes, Groupwise and other legacy email systems.
All of these companies are active members of the Oracle Partner
Network.
“The same way that it takes a village to raise a child, it
takes a village of partners to help an integrated collaborative
product grow into a mature offering,” said Mark Levitt, vice
president for Collaborative Computing at IDC. “With these
partners, Oracle’s Collaboration Suite is developing into
the type of well-rounded offering that can appeal to enterprise
customers.”
“By combining the Oracle Collaboration Suite with Scansoft’s
PaperPort Pro Suite, businesses and organizations can efficiently
convert their paper documents into files that can be managed electronically,”
said Robert Weideman, chief marketing officer at Scansoft. “For
examples, a law office can rapidly take reams of legal documents
and quickly scan and upload these to Oracle Collaboration Suite
files instead of saving paper files.”
“The Symantec AntiVirus Scan Engine's support of emerging
standards and its simple-to-use architecture allowed Oracle to integrate
Symantec's industry-leading virus protection with the Oracle Collaboration
Suite in a robust, scalable manner,” said Greg Gotta, vice
president, product delivery at Symantec Corp. “Symantec is
committed to providing enterprise customers with effective, scalable
virus protection for enterprise messaging infrastructures.”
