China Central Party School Expands Distance
Learning For Senior Officials With Oracle-based Content Management Solution
Leading China Government Education
Institution Deploys Oracle Collaborative Content Management Capabilities
to Improve Distance Learning Services and to Reduce IT Cost
Hong Kong, March 19, 2004 - Oracle
Software Research and Development Center (Shenzhen) Co. Ltd (“Oracle
China Development Center’) today announced that China Central Party
School (CCPS) has successfully deployed a new content management system
using Oracle Database and Oracle Application Server as part of its infrastructure
upgrade program designed to enhance the education and training of senior
government officials.
Implemented by StarCapital China Ltd., an Oracle PartnerNetwork
Partner, one of China’s leading distance learning solutions and
consulting services firms, the new Oracle-based content management system
will enable CCPS to meet the government’s objective to expand distance
learning class programs and materials to students nationwide using CCPS’
satellite broadcast system.
Leveraging the facilities and expertise at Oracle China
Development Center, StarCapital was able to deliver a distance learning
and content management solution to the CCPS that allowed CCPS to utilize
all of its online content to create customized programs for its students
around the country.
"StarCapital is one of the first system integrators
to recognize the potential of the distance learning market in China,"
said Mr. Ivan Qi, managing director, StarCapital. "By working closely
with Oracle’s China Development Center, we were able to benefit
from Oracle’s world-leading expertise and products to design a content
management system that is reliable and can scale to support the huge number
of users expected as the Party School’s online learning program
grows."
The Oracle China Development Center in Shenzhen opened
in June 2002 under Oracle’s Golden China initiative to support commitment,
partnership and localization by developing Oracle solutions for companies
and institutions in China. With the Oracle infrastructure software, the
Center demonstrates the value of Oracle-based centralized, secure content
management in quickly organizing a huge amount of educational material,
specifically tailored for Chinese content.
"The robust Oracle technology platform is securely
managing a huge amount of educational content for the CCPS and will be
well able to keep pace with the future demands for better performance
and lower cost as it delivers distance learning to millions of important
government users throughout China," said Kevin Walsh, vice president
of Internet Technologies at Oracle Corp. and head of the Oracle China
Development Center.
Using Oracle Database, Oracle Application Server and
Oracle Collaboration Suite as the core platform, the new system provides
a single digital repository for the electronic versions of all CCPS distant
learning content, including video, audio, books, courseware, and class
materials. The new system has already stored more than 3 terabytes of
such content.
“Oracle and StarCapital will be delivering information
to the highest echelons of China’s present and future leadership
over vast distances. This uniquely demanding project depends on the China-specific
expertise developed at the Oracle China Development Center. There can
be no clearer demonstration of the values and benefits of commitment,
localization, and partnership,” said Walsh.
