Best Practices for Archiving Oracle E-Business Suite Applications

The volume of data in your Oracle E-Business Suite applications is growing at a staggering rate. The accumulation of data in large enterprise applications is estimated to grow by 65 percent annually, taking a toll on your IT organization, application end users, business decision makers and ultimately your budget. Keeping this data in the production database isn't sustainable, but deleting it isn't an option. Data needs to remain accessible, and retention periods are often dictated by government or industry regulations.

In this webinar we will examine the best practices in archiving to help you better manage your data growth resulting in...

• Lower storage costs and faster response times
• Improved application performance and availability
• Increased IT efficiency and lower staffing costs
• Regulatory compliance to data governance programs

Are We Ready for Enterprise Search?: Text Analytics and Intelligent Agents Cannot Be Overlooked

It is critical to implement an enterprise search solution to meet the growing information needs of the business. The solution must be able to adapt to the organization's needs and transform significant amounts of information into actionable intelligence. However, do not overlook the fact that these tools only work on the content that the organization has generated. Businesses should not deprive themselves from gathering massive amounts of unstructured data related to their organization's objectives; on the contrary, they should motivate their employees, partners and customers to contribute to the information gathering process and let the enterprise search tools do the rest. This will not only improve employee productivity and reduce costs but it will also enhance customer satisfaction and strengthen business partnerships.
