Oracle WebCenter Services Overview

WebCenter Services Overview
Key Web 2.0 technologies such as wiki, RSS, and blogs have changed the landscape of the Internet by empowering individuals across the globe. The challenge for today's enterprises is to weave Web 2.0 technology and services into the basic fabric of their users' work environment. Oracle WebCenter Services provides set of horizontal Web 2.0 services to enable you to extend the functionality of your applications and enrich the end-user experience. These Web 2.0 services provide enterprises with a means to tap into the critical thinking of every employee to build better processes and make enterprise information (applications and content) more relevant to the entire organization.

For Oracle Portal customers, these exciting new Web 2.0 services along with additional Social Networking services will be made available separately from Oracle WebCenter Suite. The new services will be announced as part of the Oracle Application Server 11g release.

Secure Search
Focus Area Divider.
Searching for the information, content, or people necessary to accomplish daily tasks often translates into endless hours of wasted time. To eliminate this waste, applications must place obviously related material directly in context of the transaction flow. However, there will always be ad hoc needs that cannot be anticipated. To make sure these needs are met, WebCenter includes Oracle Secure Enterprise Search (SES), a crawler-based service that can search a multitude of sources, structured and unstructured data in a variety of file formats, indexed or real-time.

Communication

Web 2.0 is transforming the Web into a people-driven interaction environment. Working with others is a primary focus of many of today’s knowledge workers. Being able to find and contact the right person in context of the current task is essential to eliminating one of the more common inefficiencies in today’s work world. To support this goal, Oracle WebCenter includes the following tools to better connect people and facilitate communication:
Presence Server
Presence (the ability to see who is online) is an essential enabler of the real-time enterprise. Oracle Presence Server furnishes organizations with a standards-based framework for creating services and applications that capitalize on knowing who is available and when.

Wiki

As people become more comfortable with an interactive Web, they expect to be able to publish and share content directly on the network. Wiki has become a de facto standard in this area and will quickly become a critical component of the modern work environment. Oracle's wiki service is a simple content management system designed for use in collaborative communication. The service is easily configured for a wide variety of applications, ranging from simple to advanced use cases.
