A comprehensive, open-standards based enterprise collaboration platform, Oracle Beehive delivers integrated team workspaces, calendar, instant messaging, and e-mail.
Early adopters and partners are enthusiastic about the benefits Oracle Beehive brings to the enterprise.
This announcement supports Oracle's strategy of delivering complete, integrated and end-to-end product suites on an open, standards-based middleware and database architecture. Oracle's approach helps customers to simplify computing environments, lower cost and risk, and provides greater choice and flexibility.
Addressing two unmet needs in enterprise collaboration - secure collaboration and collaboration within enterprise processes
By using a unified object model and taking advantage of the security capabilities in the Oracle Database, Oracle Beehive provides a centralised, secure and auditable collaboration platform that helps organisations reduce the cost and complexity of regulatory compliance and legal discovery.
Oracle Beehive's integrated services and open hot-pluggable architecture enable organisations to embed collaboration directly into existing business applications and processes. As a result, users can invoke Oracle Beehive's collaboration services from within applications and a broad range of client interfaces.
Oracle Beehive helps extend IT investments and simplify administration by leveraging existing infrastructure, such as standards-based authentication, role-based access control, and privacy tools.
Oracle Beehive is the first truly integrated collaboration platform that understands diverse modes of collaboration through a unified object model. Oracle Beehive's robust security model and an open, integrated and extensible set of collaboration services will transform the way organisations collaborate," said Terry Olkin, Chief Architect and Vice-President, Oracle Server Technology.
