The Oracle Database (commonly referred to as Oracle RDBMS or simply as Oracle) is an object-relational database management system (ORDBMS) produced and marketed by Oracle Corporation. Larry Ellison and his friends and former co-workers Bob Miner and Ed Oates started the consultancy Software Development Laboratories (SDL) in 1977. SDL developed the original version of the Oracle software. The name Oracle comes from the code- name of a CIA-funded project Ellison had worked on while previously employed by Ampex.

Business processes for which oracle is applicable

Pharmaceutical and Biotechnology Processes :Over the last four years Oracle Corporation has implemented a technical solution to meet the requirements of US 21CFR Part 11 (Electronic Records, Electronic Signatures - ERES) within the Oracle E-Business Suite. Leveraging strong security inherent in the underlying Oracle database, this solution meets all of the technical requirements of 21CFR Part 11 and other ERES regulations and guidance. The solution also overcomes many of the problems associated with other systems that claim to be compliant. Full details of the E-Records Framework technical solution are available from Oracle Corporation and are referenced throughout. This white paper discusses some of the underlying regulatory issues addressed in the design and implementation of the E -Records Framework as well as issues associated with implementing the E-Business.

Retail Business Process :-

Oracle Retail Workshop is a web-based application that enables role based reporting, cross application processes, and collaboration. Going beyond the tradition portal, workspace offers the ability to perform tasks in the context of relevant, valuable information that supports better decisions. Oracle Retail makes it easier for retailers to unite their disparate systems, thus increasing employee productivity and effectiveness.

Industries to which oracle is applicable

Health sector :-

Thorough knowledge of Oracle Ebusiness suite in order to sell, executes, and leads complex consulting engagements within the Oracle suite. Thorough knowledge of certain areas of Oracle EBS like Financials, Manufacturing, Supply/Chain, FDA Approvals, Compliance, Risk and Procurement, post-production support, and data conversion. Thorough knowledge and understanding of Oracle Ebusiness product suite with Oracle consulting background assisting clients in the implementation and support of Oracle packaged solutions and improvement of financial business processes. 2-5 full life-cycle implementation experiences. Thorough knowledge and exposure to common issues facing clients

in the healthcare services industry. Thorough experience managing large development of proposals and implementation teams. Thorough experience with Oracle's implementation methodology, process mapping, GAP analysis, functional design, business process design and improvement, Procure to Pay, Quote to Cash, and Financial Reporting. Thorough experience leading financial reporting streams including Chart of Accounts design, legal entity structure, and experience implementing Oracle Financial consolidation HUB, Fixed Assets, Cash Management, and Oracle Treasury Management.

Insurance Industry :-

The Oracle Insurance Industry Strategy Council will span all areas of insurance operations, all applicable Oracle product lines and all geographies to provide Oracle with guidance to continue to enhance and expand its world-class, industry-leading applications. Oracle Industry Strategy Councils include a select group of senior executives from customer companies considered leaders in their industries. Oracle today hosts councils for 10 industries with plans to launch several more in the next year. The councils exist to build and strengthen executive-level customer relationships, validate Oracle's product direction, identify areas of concern and enable customers to directly influence Oracle's strategic vision for select vertical industries.

Application platform used

JAVA :-

As part of the upgrade of the system classes to J2SE 1.4.1, the OracleJVM supports Headless AWT. Headless AWT allows AWT computation, which does not rely on the native display and input devices of the platform to occur, but, instead, disallows attempts to access those native resources. Methods that attempt to display a graphical user interface or to read from keyboard or mouse input instead throw the new runtime exceptionjava.awt.HeadlessException. Similarly, the OracleJVM disallows attempts to play or record sound using the server's native sound devices, but still allows applications to read, write and manipulate supported sound files.

MICROSOFT ADO.NET :-

Oracle plans to enhance Oracle Data Provider for .NET (ODP.NET) to support ADO.NET Entity Framework. Oracle database developers will be able to use Visual Studio tools and APIs that are a standard part of the ADO.NET Entity Framework. ADO.NET Entity Framework is a client-side/middle-tier technology. As such, the Oracles client software and ODP.NET will integrate directly with Entity Framework to support data access with the Oracle Database.

Benefits of oracle apps

Ease of customization and installation :Oracle has a good record on supporting products. Oracle Apps are quite easy to install and customize according to your business needs.

Role Based Security:Oracle has been a pioneer in Database Security systems and the buzz word of Oracle Database is "Unbreakable". Oracle Apps seem to gain from this legacy of secure systems. The role based security system offered by Oracle Apps is one of the better security models available currently. Advantage over Best of Breed Software :Best of breed software cater to specific areas like HRMS, Financials etc. If your business is looking for software in only one specific area and you don't think s/w for the other areas are required, you might be tempted to go for these offering... But one word of caution, in case you go for s/w for other areas where you select another best of breed s/w, you might end up paying exceptional amount of money in integrating the two softwares. This is where Oracle Apps and other Suite vendors like SAP score over the best of the breed software. Implementing different parts of the suite would be much less costly than best of breed software and getting them to talk to each other.
