“Obian is dedicated to serving IT shops that are building their next generation of
Web-Services applications using Oracle’s leading-edge technologies,” said John
R. Logan, Obian’s president. “Jupiter provides the content management
functionality that users expect to obtain from the Oracle9 iAS
services circle that has been so well received by leading IT decision makers.”
Jupiter is an enterprise-class application designed for
the J2EE environment. As a result, it embraces industry standards and features platform
independence. Jupiter was architected for multi-tier operation, providing high scalability
in terms of both online users and content.
“Obian decided to base its Enterprise Content
Management solution, Jupiter, on the Oracle9 i technology
platform–including J2EE server, Portal server, Directory server, Integration Server,
Oracle9 i Database, Oracle9 i JDeveloper
– for the benefit of our customers,” according to Essam El Badri, Obian
executive vice president, product development. “We feel very confident that the high
degree of maturity and stability provided by Oracle’s technology will provide even
our largest customers with both the robustness and flexibility they need to
cost-effectively develop and deploy the seamless, business-critical applications they are
demanding.”
Enterprises adopting the Six Sigma approach to managing
their business processes are demanding the capability to continuously measure and control
the flow of work throughout their organizations. Jupiter users launch a business process
with one or more documents stored in the document management module. They then can measure
the acceptance - rejection actions as well as the processing/wait times at all stages in
their work processes using Jupiter’s process management module.
“Jupiter’s extensive use of Oracle9 iAS technologies substantiates the fact that Oracle9 iAS
is the best application server for content management.” stated Thomas Kurian, senior
vice president of Oracle9i Application Server development. “Jupiter and Oracle9 iAS delivers an integrated document management, Web Content Management and
process management application to increase productivity in the Web Services era.”
