Standardize
Reduce Cost and Maintenance Cycles with Open, Easily Available Components An information infrastructure can connect with every aspect of an enterprise—from customer service and manufacturing to human resources and accounts payable. Compatibility of all IT components is critical—it allows organizations to share data among their systems, across the front and back office.
Standardizing servers, software, and storage significantly lowers costs of implementation, maintenance, upgrades, and training. For example, low-cost Intel or AMD processors provide the benefits of proprietary processors at a fraction of traditional hardware costs. Linux and Microsoft Windows are cost-effective and enterprise-ready operating systems.
Oracle's Information Architecture is composed of integrated, standards-based technologies for infrastructure and applications. Using open, readily available components as much as possible reduces costs, streamlines management and maintenance, and increases adaptability. Plus, with standard systems and applications, training becomes more streamlined and repeatable, further reducing costs.
