This white paper outlines some common challenges faced by IT administrators running enterprise applications deployed on Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g, and describes how Oracle Enterprise Manager enables customers to reduce the cost of management by providing a single management console to manage the end-to-end application environment.

Many organizations are adopting service-oriented architecture (SOA) to improve business agility and simplify the complexity of their IT environments. SOA represents a fundamental shift in the way enterprise applications are designed, developed and deployed as modular business services that can be easily integrated and reused.

Did you know that most code reviews are conducted in an ad hoc fashion, don't always include the right people, and fail to take advantage of the latest tools and technology? That's according to new research that looks at the state of peer code review today.

Siebel provides a wide range of business-critical applications for sales, marketing, contact center, self-service and more. Ensuring Siebel application quality and performance is critical, but also challenging.

For modern applications, particularly those built for the Java platform, there are proven approaches and solutions that can help an organization achieve predictable, scalable performance for their applications. And although these approaches may be most valuable for extreme-scale applications, they can save time and money in almost any server-based application.

Over the past decade, a powerful new approach to development - open source software - has risen to prominence, dramatically increasing the opportunity to re-use existing software.

Organizations across the world are using grid computing with Oracle to make the most of their IT resources. And now, Oracle is making grid computing even more accessible. Learn how you can transform your business, budgets, and service levels with Oracle Database 11g Release 2.

In a recent Forrester study, upgrades made the top concerns list of ERP customers together with Improving Integrations and Shifting the Process Orientation. This is not surprising, given that Applications upgrades are prone to cost overruns, delays and unexpected outages. Maintenance costs, for major point releases as well as more frequent patches, is a topic that catches the attention of most ERP and CRM customers. A study by SOA Industry Analyst Zapthink shows that maintenance and change costs of SOA-based integrations, architected properly, are dramatically lower than traditional integration approaches. Read this whitepaper to understand why and how SOA-enablement will reduce cost and risk of Application upgrades for your organization.

"Agile" software development is an increasingly popular development process for producing software in a flexible and iterative manner that can deliver value to the enterprise faster, reduce project risk and allow adaptation to changes more quickly.
