 Oracle’s leadership position is a direct result of its track record of technological innovation. Oracle was one of the first companies to make its business applications available via the Internet and one of the first to commit to making all of its software work together, thereby minimising software integration costs and increasing reliability. Oracle remains in the forefront with its focus on simplifying IT systems and providing complete solutions—allowing customers to get better information while spending less.

Business Essentials
Oracle Database 10g, the first relational database designed for grid computing, helps ensure that enterprise information is always available and secure. Oracle Database 10g lowers the total cost of ownership through automated management while providing the highest quality of service.
