• Oracle is the only company able to deliver Enterprise 2.0 capabilities across an organization's complete IT infrastructure using Oracle(r) Database, Oracle Fusion Middleware and Oracle Applications, which can also be delivered via Oracle On Demand.
  
  *Oracle Database - delivers the scalability and performance Enterprise 2.0 applications require, stores Web 2.0 content in native XML format, publishes structured and unstructured database content as real simple syndication (RSS) feeds, supports PHP to facilitate database integration with Enterprise 2.0 applications.
  *Oracle Fusion Middleware - Oracle WebCenter, a component of Oracle Fusion Middleware, provides a hot-pluggable and secure foundation for building enterprise applications that include Web 2.0 capabilities. The combination of Oracle WebCenter with Oracle Content Management also simplifies user participation in the creation, publication, categorization, sharing and search of unstructured content.
  *Oracle Applications - Oracle Applications are marrying the concepts of Web 2.0 with the security and reliability of traditional enterprise applications. Oracle Applications are delivering Enterprise 2.0 in several ways: leveraging Web 2.0 concepts in the development of net new applications, enabling Web 2.0 to be embedded in Oracle's existing applications, enabling Oracle's applications to be componentized and consumed by Web 2.0 applications (for example exposing an Oracle sales contacts gadget in an iGoogle page) and using tools like Google Gadgets and Yahoo! Widget to build mini desktop applications that contain useful enterprise data.
• In addition to providing valuable Enterprise 2.0 infrastructure and applications to its customers, Oracle is using a broad range of Enterprise 2.0 software, including social networks, wikis, blogs and mashups to improve its own business processes and increase collaboration within the organization and with partners.
• Oracle OpenWorld 2007 features several sessions focused on Enterprise 2.0 and gives attendees an opportunity to explore the cutting edge of enterprise infrastructure and applications.
