New Oracle Warehouse Builder Dramatically Reduces Time to Intelligence With Total Data Management

Delivers Industry's Most Complete, Integrated Data Warehousing Solution

REDWOOD SHORES, Calif., Aug. 1 / -- ( http://www.oracle.com/tellmemore/?853918 ) Oracle Corp., (Nasdaq: ORCL - news) the largest provider of software for e-business, today announced the latest release of Oracle® Warehouse Builder, the industry's most complete, open and extensible solution for designing and deploying enterprise data warehouses, data marts, and e-business intelligence applications. Oracle Warehouse Builder's new performance and user interface enhancements enable developers to quickly and easily update the structure of their data warehouse, including integrating data from diverse data sources and legacy systems, while maintaining a current and accurate view of their data. With the advanced consolidation and data warehouse management capabilities of Oracle Warehouse Builder, e-businesses will be able to quickly respond to changing business environments.

``Xerox Business Services needed a more detailed profit and loss management and reporting system, which in turn required the consolidation of financial information from various legacy systems,'' said Dave Kreienberg, product manager at Xerox. ``Oracle Warehouse Builder has proven itself to be the right tool by enabling us to quickly and cost effectively bring this information together by building a data warehouse. It is an excellent approach to building a solution that satisfies the needs of both IT professionals and business process owners.''

Oracle Warehouse Builder allows users to accelerate warehouse design and implementation using a wizard-driven, graphical interface with predefined transformations that greatly simplify the process of data warehouse creation. Unlike piecemeal competing solutions, Oracle Warehouse Builder provides complete data warehouse management that enables customers to easily extract, transform and load data into Oracle9i Database and efficiently manage all aspects of the data warehouse life cycle. Moreover, its integration with the Oracle9i Database and Oracle9i Application Server enables customers to reap the benefits of high performance and virtually unlimited scalability with low total cost of ownership.

``A key benefit Oracle Warehouse Builder brings to the table is the ability for e-businesses to manage change,'' said Mike Schiff, Vice President, e-Business and Business Intelligence, at Current Analysis. ``E-business is an environment in constant flux, so it is essential that data warehousing design and deployment tools enable customers to quickly and easily manage their data warehouse according to rapidly changing business requirements. Oracle Warehouse Builder's intuitive user interface and tight integration with Oracle9i make it easy to deploy and separate it from more generalized, multi-vendor offerings that are not optimized for Oracle environments.''

``Oracle sits in stark contrast to competitors that must partner with multiple vendors in order to provide a comprehensive business intelligence offering,'' said John Entenmann, vice president of Business Intelligence product development at Oracle Corp. ``With a complete, integrated, single vendor solution, Oracle customers are able to derive a significant competitive advantage through exceptional knowledge management at a low cost of ownership.''

Pricing and Availability

Oracle Warehouse Builder is available immediately on all supported platforms at no additional charge as a component of the Oracle Internet Developer Suite. Oracle Internet Developer Suite is priced at $5,000 on a named user license basis.
