Enterprise Architecture

Proven patterns. Lessons learned.

Years of experience in implementing the world’s most complex business and technology projects have provided Oracle the expertise to meet any strategic goal. Helping you evaluate products is just one step. Oracle enterprise architects approach new implementations on a holistic level, rather than on a project-by-project basis. They offer a deep understanding of how technology—including Oracle’s vast product portfolio—impacts enterprisewide alignment, governance, and business processes.

Explore the principles, roadmaps, and reference architectures Oracle enterprise architects use to guide implementations—and learn how an architectural approach to enterprise projects derives greater value from your investments.
