Industry analysts agree that enterprise-wide content management is a growing need for businesses, which must manage ever-expanding content volume while meeting increasingly strict content-related government regulations. Industry analyst firm IDC estimates the overall content management market will increase to more than $4.5 billion in 2008. Oracle and its partners plan to capitalize on the growing need for secure, scalable and affordable technology that helps manage the entire content lifecycle.

"The combination of Oracle Files 10g and Network Appliance SnapLock(tm) gives our customers a powerful yet simple solution to help meet regulatory, IT and business challenges," said Patrick Rogers, vice president, Solutions and Alliance Marketing, Network Appliance. "Customers can benefit from the integration between a comprehensive compliance storage solution and a cost-effective content management offering."

Oracle Files 10g, available on its own or as part of Oracle Collaboration Suite 10g, was developed with the average business user in mind to help increase productivity by delivering content management tools where and when they are needed. Built on the Oracle Database and Oracle Application Server, Oracle Files 10g provides outstanding scalability, security and reliability. In addition, the offering incorporates advanced records management capabilities that can facilitate regulatory compliance and help reduce the risk associated with information discovery.

"As Oracle extends content management across the enterprise, customers require more advanced and scalable input management capabilities," said Reynolds C. Bish, president and chief executive officer, Captiva Software. "Our InputAccel(tm) offering provides organizations using Oracle Files 10g with an open document capture solution that can be tailored easily to meet specific business requirements."
