Oracle tried to foray into the collaboration market two times in the past but these activities were unsuccessful. Now Oracle is back with the next generation of Oracle Collaboration Suite. On 8 May 2008, Oracle introduced to market Oracle Beehive. This is an integrated collaboration suite with e-mail/calendar, team workspaces, instant messaging and other collaboration services. The initial release is intended for Oracle Collaboration Suite (OCS) users. Additional features will be accesible later in 2008.
Up to now Oracle was specialised in databases and integration technologies. In the collaboration sector Oracle failed up to now - it had an e-mail/calendar system in the 1990s, and most recently offered OCS. Both were unsuccessful.
It is a very important information for users because Collaboration services are being increasingly woven into applications, allowing users to collaborate within the context of the business application. In addition, investments in e-mail, for example, can sell other Oracle infrastructure, such as databases and integration tools.
There are also another plans that Oracle will make Exchange, SharePoint and Office Communications Server as a competition for the Microsoft. We will see... Maybe Oracle will be better than Microsoft in such technologies ;)
