(Nasdaq: ORCL - news), the largest provider of software for e-business, today announced that companies that currently take advantage of Oracle's collaborative content management capabilities within Oracle9i, will continue to reap the benefits of managing all corporate content within a central repository by taking advantage of new feature enhancements, which were announced today. Customers that use Oracle's collaborative content management features can manage a myriad of applications, from Web sites and customer relationship management applications to a host of industry-specific solutions, while also minimizing software and infrastructure costs. Global businesses choosing Oracle for its collaborative content management features include Der Spiegel and NewsEdge.

Der Spiegel

Der Spiegel, Germany's leading news magazine and the largest news weekly in Europe, is using the Oracle® Database to centralize its archives in a single content repository. Because of the advanced collaborative content management features inherent in the Oracle Database, the repository can hold and manage all types of content including text, graphics and sound. By taking advantage of the Oracle Database, Der Spiegel has simplified its operations and can provide reporters and researchers from 20 countries around the world with fast access to archived information. This information comes from many sources, exists in many languages and grows at a rate of two million documents per year. The current archive contains approximately 25 million files.

NewsEdge

NewsEdge Corporation, a global provider of syndicated content services and electronic publishing technologies for business, selected the Oracle Database because of its ability to scale and manage an unlimited amount of data. NewsEdge's Oracle database stores up to 200,000 news articles each business day from more than 2,000 different sources. NewsEdge's 1500 corporate customers, including government agencies, fund managers, public relations (PR) and investor relations (IR) firms, and the majority of the 100 largest global companies are among the most demanding, information intensive organizations in the world.

``Our standard for scalability and speed is intense. With Oracle9i, NewsEdge can inject, deliver and modify over 200,000 business news documents a day in real time, with unlimited archival potential. This is critical to managing a constant flow of current news stories,'' said Thomas Karanian, vice president of engineering and services for NewsEdge.
