elease includes an automatic synchronization capability that enables data to be synchronized bidirectionally without user intervention. “The new enhancements in Oracle Database Lite 10g reflect Oracle’s dedication to offering mobile users an identical experience to their connected colleagues—when it comes to continuous data availability,” says Rex Wang, Oracle’s vice president of embedded product marketing. The client database of Oracle Database Lite 10g Release 3 supports Windows, Windows CE, Windows Mobile, Linux, and Symbian platforms. It also supports stored procedures for C++, C#/.NET, and Java. SPRING DEVELOPMENT KIT RELEASED The new Oracle Development Kit for Spring is designed to simplify the development, deployment, and management of Spring-based enterprise Java applications and to address demand for integration between Oracle Fusion Middleware and the Spring framework. The Oracle Development Kit for Spring includes Spring Framework 2.0, the latest version of Spring’s lightweight, open source application development framework; Oracle JDeveloper Extension for Spring, which provides wizards and full editor support for both Spring 1.xand 2.0-style definitions; and Oracle Developer Depot, a free, Spring-based developer productivity tool. It also includes prepackaged sample applications and tutorials and transaction manager integration, which allows developers to leverage the lightweight programming model of Spring with the high-performance transactional capabilities of Oracle Application Server. “The Oracle Development Kit for Spring is a natural step in our efforts to simplify enterprise Java development,” says Steven G. Harris, vice president, Java Platform Group, Oracle. “As more and more customers use Oracle’s Java development platform in conjunction with the Spring framework, we see increasingly innovative results.” ORACLE’S DEMANTRA 7.1.1 NOW SHIPPING Now available, Demantra 7.1.1 expands on the industry-leading demand management functionality that Oracle obtained through the acquisition of Demantra to deliver better forecasting and demand management capabilities. New capabilities include support for Oracle Fusion Middleware, improved planner productivity, enhancements to data loading and export, new demand analysis worksheets, and series and data security enhancements. This release also enables companies to model moreprecise statistical forecasting, analysis, and collaboration scenarios without special training or IT support. Demantra 7.1.1 is now part of the Advanced Planning solution within Oracle E-Business Suite and Oracle’s JD Edwards EnterpriseOne, which gives companies the ability to accurately predict demand, shape profitability for their products, and proactively manage complex global supply chains. This integration reduces setup, configuration, and ongoing maintenance costs because Demantra shares the same demand and master data as the Oracle Applications. “By integrating Demantra into Oracle’s Advanced Planning applications, we are giving companies the tools to better predict, shape, and respond to demand in order to uphold the operational and strategic goals of their companies,” says Jon Chorley, Oracle’s vice president of product strategy. ORACLE BUYS PRODUCT LIFECYCLE MANAGEMENT LEADER AGILE Oracle has agreed to acquire Agile Software Corporation, a leading provider of product lifecycle management (PLM) software solutions. Agile’s PLM solutions help engineers, manufacturing and supply chain professionals, and business executives drive the product innovation and introduction process, share product specifications and configurations, and collaborate effectively across the supply chain. PLM is evolving into an enterprisewide discipline that spans multiple product design systems and interacts with a wide range of enterprise applications. The combination of Agile and Oracle will create an integrated, enterprisewide PLM solution. “Profitable product innovation is critical to product-based industries, making PLM one of the fastest-growing application segments,” says Oracle President Charles Phillips. “The addition of Agile, which will serve as the foundation of our PLM offering, will further Oracle’s strategy of delivering industry-specific enterprise applications and allows us to offer yet another strategic application to SAP customers.” ORACLE INVESTS IN SOPHOI Oracle has made a minority investment in Sophoi, a privately held provider of enterprise intellectual property management software. Oracle and Sophoi will continue to partner to bring innovative end-to-end solutions to the media and entertainment industry. “Customers of Sophoi and Oracle can benefit from a comprehensive suite of mission-critical applications for the media and entertainment industry by combining Oracle’s integrated applications suite and Sophoi’s iPLS [Intellectual Property Licensing Suite] solution,” says Lars Wahlstrom, Oracle’s group vice president of the Communications, Media and Utilities Global Industries Business Unit. � Oracle Business Intelligence Standard Edition One oracle.com/appserver/business-intelligence/ standard-edition-one.html Oracle Virtual Directory oracle.com/goto/virtual-directory Oracle Database Lite 10g Release 3 otn.oracle.com/products/lite Oracle Development Kit for Spring oracle.com/goto/spring Demantra oracle.com/applications/scm/demantra Oracle and Agile oracle.com/agile Sophoi www.sophoi.com ORACLE MAGAZINE SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER 2007 21
