Ports

Through its comprehensive portfolio of products and strategic acquisitions of G-Log, JD Edwards, PeopleSoft, Siebel, Hyperion, and BEA, Oracle brings industry-leading applications, middleware, and infrastructure technologies to the port industry.

Oracle technology and applications enable ports to improve terminal performance and reduce terminal unit costs, so that they can transform themselves into high-performance, secure port enterprises.

Using Oracle Fusion Middleware—the market-leading platform for middleware, based on industry standards—ports can develop portals that provide controlled access to information on port operations to shippers, carriers, forwarders, and regulatory authorities. Ports can more effectively collaborate with carriers, drayage providers, and customs in order to reduce container dwell times and increase port throughput.

Oracle offers advanced analytic capabilities through its business intelligence (BI) and enterprise performance management (EPM) solutions. Ports can use Oracle's BI and EPM solutions for developing dashboards with operating and financial metrics to track and improve terminal operations, cargo flow through the ports, and port security.
