BOSTON, March 3 -- AIIM International Conference and Expo --

-- To strengthen content security and improve the way enterprise content is created, managed and stored, Oracle today announced several significant updates to the Oracle® Enterprise Content Management Suite, a component of Oracle Fusion Middleware.

-- The enhancements improve organizations' ability to secure content by automating encryption of documents stored in Oracle Universal Content Management through a new integration with Oracle Information Rights Management.

-- The integration of Oracle Universal Content Management and Oracle Information Rights Management:

-- Protects documents and emails that users check in to Oracle Universal Content Management by sealing them with Advanced Encryption Standard and RSA cryptography;

-- Helps prevent unauthorized access to electronic documents and emails - even if it they have been downloaded, emailed, copied or transferred outside the corporate network;

-- Allows administrators to control access to electronic documents and emails by local and remote users at the individual and group level at any time; and

-- Does not require user intervention or restrict legitimate access to and search of the encrypted information.

-- Oracle also delivered several new features to Oracle Universal Content Management including:

-- Folios, which enable grouping of multiple content items for distribution, retention control, workflow and automatic rendering into a single document or other formats;

-- Support for BPEL-based (Business Process Execution Language) processes, or standards-based integrations and processes, which helps streamline the integration of document workflows and enterprise applications to enable organizations to more effectively use enterprise content, improve efficiency and accelerate business processes;

-- Improved AJAX-based user interface, which simplifies Web editing for line-of-business users, provides broader platform and browser support, and increases accessibility through W3C level 1 and 2 compliance;

-- A new forms editor that enables business users to create and edit online forms without the help of IT staff;

-- Integration with several Oracle products including:

-- Oracle's AutoVue Enterprise Visualization - to enable native document viewing, annotation and real-time collaboration on hundreds of document types, including CAD, without conversion, directly from within Oracle Universal Content Management;

-- Oracle Business Intelligence Publisher - for automated published report management and distribution; and

-- Oracle Secure Enterprise Search - incorporates secure, role- appropriate access to content within the system's repository within an enterprise-wide search.

-- Today's news is the latest unveiling of enhancements to Oracle's enterprise content management software; in the past 12 months Oracle:

-- Delivered new versions of several components within Oracle's content management platform - Oracle Universal Content Management, Oracle Imaging and Process Management; Oracle Information Rights Management and Oracle Universal Records Management;

-- Strengthened its content management solution with the acquisition of Captovation, a leading provider of document capture solutions that streamline the process of capturing mission-critical content for access from within business applications and processes; and

-- Won the 2008 InfoWorld Technology of the Year Award for Best Enterprise Content Manager with Oracle Universal Content Management.
