Stellent Acquisition Speeds Oracle's Delivery of Comprehensive Content Management
This December, Oracle completed its acquisition of Stellent, Inc., a move that significantly accelerates Oracle's drive to offer comprehensive, industry-leading content management.
With more than 4,700 customers worldwide—including Procter & Gamble, Merrill Lynch, Los Angeles County, British Red Cross, ING, Vodafone, and Bayer—Stellent is rated a leader in content management by independent technology analyst firms including Gartner, Forrester Research, and IDC.
Oracle's strong expansion into content management comes as organizations face the challenge of managing exploding volumes of structured and unstructured content in an environment of increasing regulatory pressures.
"Organizations are seeking advanced and automated content and process management solutions to manage all their information to meet regulatory requirements," said Thomas Kurian, senior vice president of Oracle.
"Stellent's content management solutions enable all authorized users within an organization to create, capture, store, manage, publish, view, search, and archive all types of documents, providing the ability to support the entire content management lifecycle," Kurian added.
Why Stellent?
As Oracle enters the enterprise content management market, the Stellent acquisition makes strategic sense for a range of reasons. First, Stellent's award-winning products span the entire spectrum of content management solutions, including document and records management, Web content management, digital asset management, imaging and business process management, information rights management, and risk and compliance. In addition, Stellent's products clearly complement many of Oracle's existing technology and applications offerings.
Oracle's Stellent Web Content Management is expected to significantly extend the ability of Oracle WebCenter Suite and Oracle Portal to manage complex Web site deployments. And some Stellent solutions, such as their imaging tools, are already integrated with Oracle applications to support document-centric business processes.
"Oracle's acquisition of Stellent will be a positive milestone for all our stakeholders—shareholders, employees, customers, and partners," said Stellent President and Chief Executive Officer Robert Olson. "Our leading product suite will have the dedicated resources and broad distribution networks of the largest enterprise software company in the world, which will elevate our award-winning solutions to new levels within the content management industry."
