Oracle Press Release Oracle Announces General Availability of Oracle Communications Network Integrity 7.1New Release Helps Network Operators Reduce Network and Operational Costs through Improved Data Accuracy Redwood Shores, Calif. – February 2, 2012News Facts Oracle today announced the general availability of Oracle Communications Network Integrity 7.1 to enable network operators to synchronize and maintain accurate, up to date information in their network inventory systems. Increased network data accuracy is a prerequisite for network operators to significantly reduce network capital and operational costs, as well as improve service fulfillment and assurance process efficiency. Release 7.1 provides several new capabilities, including: Reference Integrations: Pre-integrated support for Oracle Communications MetaSolv Solution – as well as pre-existing integration with Oracle Communications Unified Inventory Management. These integrations reduce implementation time and cost, and enable existing Oracle Communications MetaSolv Solution customers to more easily deploy Oracle Communications Network Integrity 7.1 to improve the accuracy of their network data. Assimilation: New circuit and service assimilation and discrepancy detection capabilities for channelized technologies – such as optical – to enable network operators to identify and recover stranded network assets and capacity as well as reduce leased capacity costs. Rigorous Support for Industry Protocol Standards: This release supports the Telcordia-standard Transaction Language 1 (TL1) interface to enable discovery across a broad set of network elements. It also supports the TMF-814 interface standard, which was used to formally certify the Oracle application interoperability with Huawei’s U2000 Network Management System, demonstrating how supporting such standards can reduce the risk, time and cost of delivering integrated solutions. Oracle Communications Network Integrity is a modular component within Oracle’s holistic solution for Network Resource Management, which enables network operators to plan, build, optimize and manage their communications networks. It may be deployed in an integrated manner with Oracle or third-party inventory platforms. Supporting Quotes “Inaccurate network inventory data is a long-standing and growing problem for network operators resulting in elevated costs and inefficient operations that often impact end customers. Network operators are increasingly seeking solutions such as Oracle Communications Network Integrity which, together with improved internal processes, can materially reduce network related costs and deliver significant operational efficiencies,” said Mark Mortensen, principal analyst, Analysys Mason. “As demand for network capacity continues to escalate, network operators must be able to efficiently discover the assets and capacity in their network, determine current utilization and enable more efficient asset utilization. In providing additional productized integration, assimilation capabilities and enhanced discovery protocol support, Oracle Communications Network Integrity 7.1 helps network operators more easily achieve these goals by leveraging their existing network inventory investments and avoiding a costly, lengthy and high risk network inventory transformation program,” said Liam Maxwell, vice president, products, Oracle Communications.Supporting Resources Oracle Communications Oracle Communications Network Integrity Oracle Communications Unified Inventory Management Oracle Communications MetaSolv Solution Oracle Communications Network Resource Management Oracle Communications on YouTube Oracle Communications on Diigo Oracle Communications on Facebook Oracle Communications on Twitter Oracle Communications on LinkedInAbout Oracle Communications

Oracle Press Release State of Maryland Government Agencies Improve Inter-Agency Collaboration through a Shared Services Business Intelligence EnvironmentBusiness Intelligence Helps Maryland Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services Solve, Reduce and Prevent Crime; Maryland Department of Education Plans to Improve Decision Making and Enhance Teaching and Learning Redwood Shores, Calif. – January 31, 2012News Facts Maryland Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services (DPSCS), working with the Governor's Office of Crime Control & Prevention (GOCCP), deployed Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition to streamline access to real-time criminal justice data to help solve, reduce and prevent crime. DPSCS – which operates 27 correctional facilities and 45 parole and probation supervision offices – working with GOCCP – a one-stop shop for resources to improve public safety in Maryland – integrated siloed systems containing information for its Divisions of Corrections, Division of Parole and State Police Gun Registry and Sex Offender Registry with Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition and Oracle Service-Oriented Architecture to create a business intelligence solution providing a single view of criminal background data. Federal, state and local law enforcement agencies and prosecutors use the resulting centralized Web-based application – called the "Law Enforcement Dashboard" – drawing from more than 100 data sources across 22 agencies – to access accurate, timely information that helps them make fast, well-informed decisions in the fight against violent crime. With one search, they can instantly see an offender’s criminal history, photographs, open warrants, gun permits, motor vehicle status and more. At Oracle OpenWorld 2011, DPSCS won an Oracle Fusion Middleware Innovation Award for the Business Intelligence and Enterprise Performance Management category. These awards honor customers for their cutting-edge solutions using Oracle Fusion Middleware. To improve inter-agency collaboration, DPSCS deployed Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition in a shared services environment for other government agencies, including the Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE), which aims to improve public education, library services and rehabilitation services. Through an American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) "Race to the Top" program grant, MSDE is moving forward with developing and implementing a statewide data system to manage and analyze individual student data using the business intelligence solution in addition to Oracle Database 11g, Oracle Real Application Clusters, Oracle Identity Management, Oracle WebLogic , Oracle BPEL Process Manager, Oracle Spatial, Oracle WebCenter Suite and Oracle Portal. The system will help MSDE improve visibility into organizational performance while enhancing operational efficiency, teacher effectiveness and student achievement. With year one of the three-year project now complete, MSDE will use Oracle technology and applications to deliver 35 Web-based, personalized dashboards for 66,000 teachers, 6,000 administrators and 800,000 students and their parents. These dashboards will help MSDE move beyond static, paper-based or PDF reports to enable teachers, principals, parents and other education stakeholders to fully engage in their own data analysis and make more informed decisions about everything from student skill assessments to resource planning.Supporting Quotes "Before the Law Enforcement Dashboard, individual users had separate user names and passwords per database, putting the burden on the user to seek out relevant data. The Oracle system turns this paradigm upside down by establishing a customer-centric solution. We have enhanced our data value by making information accessible and establishing a sustainable infrastructure and process for boundless information sharing," said Kristen Mahoney, executive director, State Governor's Office of Crime Control & Prevention, Maryland Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services. "With a shared services environment, we are able to collaborate with other government agencies, ultimately helping us reinvest in the State of Maryland's technology infrastructure. Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition will enable us to deliver a student-centered learning environment and help us build a sustainable state-wide data system that will benefit our students now and into the future," said Rob London, PK12/P20 director of Solutions Architecture, Maryland State Department of Education. “Business intelligence is about getting the right information, to the right decision makers, at the right time. For most organizations, this is a high hurdle, as data resides in many systems and in different formats. Therefore data must be aggregated and standardized into a unified model and transformed into information that is relevant to decision makers. Through its shared services environment, the State of Maryland is doing just that by delivering complete, relevant and timely business content to decision-makers in easy-to-understand dashboards, alerts and reports,” said Mark Johnson, senior vice president, Oracle Public Sector.Supporting Resources Oracle Public Sector Oracle Public Sector on Facebook Oracle Public Sector on DiigoAbout Oracle

Oracle Press Release Customers Adopt Oracle Fusion Human Capital Management to Help Maximize Valuable Assets and Achieve Business GoalsOracle Continues its Leadership in HR Applications with Next Generation Oracle Fusion HCM Redwood Shores, Calif. – Jan. 31, 2012News Facts Demonstrating its continued leadership in human capital management applications, Oracle today announced that over 50 customers, including Barry-Wehmiller, Knowledge Universe, MarketSphere, Red Robin and Snyder’s-Lance, have selected and are implementing Oracle Fusion Human Capital Management (HCM). These companies join organizations such as eVerge Group and Principal Financial Group who are benefitting from Oracle Fusion HCM. Oracle Fusion HCM was developed with the user in mind. More than 1,700 customers participated in a variety of design, testing, and feedback sessions, helping to create an HCM solution that is truly global, configurable, and designed for the key user roles within an organization. Part of Oracle Fusion Applications, Oracle Fusion HCM helps companies realize the full potential of HR, helping provide value to every person in an organization by enabling them to know their people better, maximize their most valuable assets, and work as a team to achieve their business goals. A part of the recently announced Oracle Public Cloud, Oracle’s Fusion HCM cloud applications offer the advantages customers expect from SaaS (software as a service), without the limitations of niche solutions. They deliver the power of Oracle Fusion Applications in a simple subscription pricing model – with no hardware to buy and no software to support.Supporting Quotes "Red Robin is excited to be one of the first Oracle customers to roll out the full end-to-end Fusion HCM & ERP solution.

Oracle Press Release University of Puget Sound Selects Oracle’s PeopleSoft Applications to Facilitate Information Exchange and Enhance Strategic Reporting CapabilitiesNational Liberal Arts College Launches “Optimize Puget Sound” to Streamline Operations, Standardize Business Processes and Best Meet Student, Faculty and Staff Needs Redwood Shores, Calif. – January 30, 2012News Facts Oracle today announced that the University of Puget Sound, a national undergraduate liberal arts college in Tacoma, Washington with 2,600 students, has selected Oracle’s PeopleSoft applications and Oracle Hyperion Public Sector Budgeting and Planning running on Oracle Database to overhaul its legacy student, financial and human resources systems. The new systems will help facilitate more efficient inter-campus information sharing and enhance analytics capabilities for administrators. Puget Sound’s legacy student administration system was developed in-house and was nearing end-of-life. Its maintenance costs were escalating and it lacked meaningful reporting, forecasting and analytics capabilities. The institution needed new student, financial and human resources solutions to meet dynamic constituent and student needs, facilitate complete data transfers between departments and ensure efficient and cost effective maintenance. After an exhaustive RFP process, Puget Sound selected Oracle’s PeopleSoft Financials, PeopleSoft Human Resources, PeopleSoft Student Administration and Oracle Hyperion Public Sector Budgeting and Planning, all running on Oracle Database. The institution selected Oracle’s PeopleSoft applications due to their flexibility, ability to exchange data with external systems, reporting and budgeting tools and Oracle’s longstanding support for the higher education community. By selecting Oracle applications, Puget Sound is looking to standardize business processes and adopt best practices. Specifically, the institution will leverage more robust reporting and analytics capabilities to assist in strategic planning and decision-making and compete more effectively with peer institutions in delivering new features that students and staff expect, such as sharing information via mobile applications. Puget Sound recently began the implementation and will complete its project, known as “Optimize Puget Sound,” in December 2013. Once complete, the new system will provide access to approximately 3,700 users, including students, faculty and staff. The institution is working with Oracle Gold Partner MIS, Inc. on the implementation.Supporting Quotes “By moving from a piecemeal system consisting of legacy homegrown software and acquired ERP modules to an integrated Oracle software environment, the University of Puget Sound will realize a tremendous opportunity to transform and streamline its operating processes. For this reason, we’ve named our implementation project ‘Optimize Puget Sound.’ We expect our new system to enable us to efficiently and effectively focus on what is best for our students and the university as a whole,” said Sherry Mondou, vice president for finance and administration, University of Puget Sound. “Higher education institutions are continuing to replace their home-grown, legacy student, financial and human resources environments with sophisticated and integrated applications that facilitate greater information exchange and analytics capabilities. Oracle is proud to work with the University of Puget Sound in developing a single system that will enable the institution to operate more efficiently and provide its students and staff with exciting resources to improve the educational experience,” said Steve Koporec, vice president, applications, Oracle Higher Education.

Oracle Press Release Oracle Named a Leader in Identity Management by Leading Analyst FirmOracle Positioned in Leaders Quadrant in Both “Identity and Access Governance” and “User Administration/Provisioning” Magic Quadrants REDWOOD SHORES, Calif. - January 30, 2012 News Facts The first-ever Gartner, Inc. “Magic Quadrant for Identity and Access Governance” recognizes Oracle as a leader, Oracle announced today. (1) Oracle also announced today that Oracle is placed in the Leaders Quadrant of the 2011 “Magic Quadrant for User Administration/Provisioning.” (2) According to Gartner, leaders in Identity and Access Governance (IAG) are “composed of vendors that provide products with a good functional match to client requirements for establishing a governance system for access. These vendors have been successful in building an installed base and revenue stream within the IAG market, and have a relatively high viability rating (because of IAG revenue). Leaders also show evidence of superior vision and execution for anticipated requirements, as they relate to technology, methodology or means of delivery. Leaders typically have significant market share, strong revenue growth, and demonstrated early customer satisfaction with IAG capabilities and/or related service and support.” Gartner describes leaders in user administration/provisioning as “high-momentum vendors (based on sales, world presence and mind share growth), and they have evident track records in user provisioning across most, if not all, market segments. Business investments position them well for the future. Leaders demonstrate balanced progress and effort in the Ability to Execute and Completeness of Vision categories. Their actions raise the competitive bar for all products in the market. They can and often do change the course of the industry.” Gartner Magic Quadrants position vendors within a particular market segment based on their completeness of vision and their ability to execute on that vision. Oracle Identity Analytics delivers the advanced access certification and intelligence business managers need to meet increasingly complex time-consuming compliance requirements with out-of-the-box business friendly views and prioritized risk scoring dramatically reducing the time need to complete reviews. Integration with Oracle Identity Manager 11g makes Oracle Identity Analytics the industry's only access governance solution that provides an accurate closed-loop remediation solution including advanced risk aggregation and controls for preventative segregation of duties. Oracle’s integrated platform approach to Identity Governance provides the advantages of better risk awareness and automated “closed-loop” remediation of improper rights and audit violations. Oracle Identity Manager 11g and Oracle Identity and Access Management Suite, components of Oracle Identity Management 11g, provide the industry’s most complete, open and integrated Identity Management solutions to help organizations experience superior performance, unmatched scalability and a significantly enhanced user experience. Oracle’s positioning in the Leaders Quadrants for both User Provisioning and Identity and Access Governance provides customers with an integrated and complete solution to automate Identity Audit and Compliance.Supporting Quote “We believe that our innovative approach to Identity and Access Management, which combines industry leading products, produces a platform that is greater in value than the sum of the parts. We feel our leadership in both magic quadrants demonstrates that our investment in the integrated Identity platform is paying dividends for our customers. Customers adopting Oracle Identity Manager and Oracle Identity Analytics can have confidence that they have acquired two industry leading solutions that are engineered to work together which helps lower their total cost of ownership," said Amit Jasuja, vice president, Oracle Security and Identity Management.
