REDWOOD SHORES, Calif., Oracle Corporation, the world's largest enterprise software company, announced key customer wins signed during the third quarter of its fiscal year 2003, the results of which were announced. Oracle continues to build momentum as businesses across industries and regions choose Oracle(R) software and services to help lower information technology (IT) costs and achieve new levels of efficiency. Increasingly, businesses are purchasing or upgrading to the Oracle E-Business Suite 11i, Oracle9i Database, Oracle9i Application Server and Oracle Collaboration Suite to realize the benefits associated with a single data model that stores information across a full range of integrated applications. Oracle E-Business Suite The Oracle E-Business Suite is a complete set of business applications that enable companies to efficiently manage all core business functions, such as customer interactions, financial management, human resources, and supply chain management. A primary reason customers selected the Oracle E-Business Suite is Oracle's open architecture, which allows applications to be deployed as individual modules, business flows or an entire integrated suite.

"This suite of applications, with its easy integration into our Oracle Financial systems, provides us with a strong technology platform from which to launch both our strategic initiatives, including reverse auctions, as well as the tactical back-office transactions required to ensure delivery of the goods and services required to support our stores." Oracle9i Database, Oracle9i Application Server and Oracle Collaboration Suite Oracle's information management software products include the world's leading database -- Oracle9i Database -- Oracle9i Application Server, and Oracle Collaboration Suite.
