Oracle Announces Oracle Beehive Next-Generation Enterprise Collaboration Platform
At September's OpenWorld 2008 conference, Oracle announced the launch of Oracle Beehive, the industry´s only complete and open platform for integrated and secure enterprise collaboration.
Designed to help organizations secure their communications and add collaboration into business processes, Oracle Beehive offers integrated team workspaces, calendar, instant messaging, and e-mail in a unified object model.
“Oracle Beehive is about to revolutionize the way in which we collaborate and make a lot of the tasks that we take for granted, yet appear to be cumbersome, a lot easier,” said Salim Ansari, head of IT support, European Space Agency.
Meeting Unmet Needs: Secure Collaboration Within Enterprise Processes
Traditionally, collaboration solutions have consisted of disparate tools that are separately deployed and managed, making security management a serious challenge.
By contrast, Oracle Beehive is built on a unified object model and leverages the security capabilities native to the Oracle Database, resulting in a centralized, secure, and auditable collaboration platform.
Oracle Beehive also helps organizations reduce the cost and complexity of regulatory compliance and legal discovery.
At the same time, organizations can use Oracle Beehive to embed collaboration directly into existing business applications and processes, thanks to its integrated services and open, hot-pluggable architecture. As a result, users can invoke Oracle Beehive’s collaboration services from within applications as well as a broad range of client interfaces.
Now generally available, Oracle Beehive software licenses cost $120 per user and can be deployed on premises or through Oracle On Demand.
“Oracle Beehive is the first truly integrated collaboration platform that understands diverse modes of collaboration through a unified object model," says Terry Olkin, chief architect and vice president, Oracle server technology.
"Oracle Beehive’s robust security model and an open, integrated, and extensible set of collaboration services will transform the way organizations collaborate,” adds Olkin.
