The Oracle Identity and Access Management suite makes it easier for our customers to manage multiple user
identities, provision users in multiple enterprise applications and systems and manage access privileges for
customers, employees and partners. Our customers use Oracle Identity and Access Management Suite to
secure their information from potential threats. In addition, our customers also use Oracle Identity and Access

Oracle Webcenter Suite enables personalized, task oriented web applications and portal sites to be rapidly
developed and deployed, all with single sign-on access and security. Our customers can assemble portal sites
using page regions or portlets, which are reusable interface components that provide access to web-based
resources such as applications, business intelligence reports, syndicated content feeds and outsourced
software services. With the Oracle Communications and Mobility Server option, such web and portal
applications support mobile and Voice-over-IP (VoIP) clients.

intelligence infrastructure, these products deliver to our customers a full spectrum of business intelligence
requirements, including interactive dashboards, ad hoc query and analysis, proactive intelligence and alerts,
enterprise reporting, real-time predictive intelligence and mobile analytics. In April 2007, we acquired
Hyperion, a market leader in enterprise performance management and business intelligence products. As a
result of the Hyperion acquisition, we now offer our customers the most comprehensive, integrated,
end-to-end enterprise performance management system available, spanning consolidation, planning,
operational analytic applications, business intelligence tools, reporting, and data integration, all on a unified
business intelligence platform.
Current editions of the Oracle Business Intelligence Suite include the Oracle Business Intelligence
Suite Enterprise Edition and Oracle Business Intelligence Suite Standard Edition. Oracle Business
Intelligence Suite Enterprise Edition is open to any enterprise data source and optimized for Oracle or

third party and customer applications. Oracle Business Intelligence Suite Standard Edition is optimized to
work with Oracle data and applications.
