Apps Associates Teams with Oracle to Deliver a Solution for Enterprise Report Management

ORACLE OPENWORLD 2007, SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. – November 13, 2007 Apps Associates today announced the release of a new product called Report Lifecycle Management Solution (RLMS) which combines the power of Oracle® Content Database, Oracle Secure Enterprise Search and custom components to simplify the process of enterprise report management. Reports can be automatically imported from anywhere in the enterprise into a centralized repository – an Oracle database – and managed via a simple web user interface. The integration to Oracle Secure Enterprise Search enables customers to search across the enterprise from the same user interface, giving them the benefit of quickly locating additional content related to the reports they are interested in. The solution provides tools for versioning, archival, workflow, approvals, and auditing that facilitate the achievement of regulatory compliance objectives and make it possible to automate business processes relevant to enterprise report management.

Customers that have selected the joint solution, such as Siemens Water Technologies Corporation, are looking forward to facilitating the flow of critical information across the enterprise.

"The combination of Report Lifecycle Management Solution and Oracle Secure Enterprise Search delivers a comprehensive platform for users to securely access report content generated anywhere in the enterprise from a single user interface that is accessible via the web. RLMS will streamline the flow of information in the enterprise by automating the import of reports from various sources in our organization and making it easy to disseminate the right information to the right recipients," according to Mark Ridgley, VP Information Services, Siemens Water Technologies Corp.

Ajay Kapur, Principal, Apps Associates said that the relationship with Oracle has empowered Apps Associates with leading-edge technology to build a product that they hope will quickly become a market leader in the field of enterprise report management. “Through our work with Oracle, Apps Associates is able to leverage the benefits of a number of renowned Oracle products, including Oracle Secure Enterprise Search, by embedding them within RLMS. This has made it possible for us to provide our customers with a report management product built upon proven technology and bring it to market at a significantly faster schedule," said Ajay Kapur.
