Executive Summary (This is a document excerpt)

Oracle is a Strong Performer in the enterprise collaboration platforms market with Oracle Collaboration Suite 10g Release 1 (10.1). Oracle offers basic messaging, real-time collaboration, and team collaboration platforms. Oracle has a very strong executive vision and product strategy and the product is very strong in cross-platform support. OCS' strengths also reside in architecture and administration, security, and Information Workplace readiness, and Oracle has a solid collaboration product road map. Oracle's strengths make it a good fit for Oracle shops that have heterogeneous computing environments; have a Java orientation toward application development; want a unified — even if basic — collaboration platform; are developing Information Workplace (IW) strategies and may need an emerging IW platform; value vendor viability; and don't mind limited collaboration market share.
