Oracle WebCenter vs. Collaboration Suite
Dec 18 2007, 2:46 PM EST Ok, I was reading about Oracle WebCenter on the Oracle Magazine, actually Vince Casarez was intervied in this article. He was talking about the benefits of this new technology, and I cuote: "...customers can start to leverage the most-popular Web 2.0 services within their enterprise today, including online discussions, enterprise wikis for collaboration around different projects..." Ok, maybe it's because I'm new on this technology, but didn't the Collaboration Suite allready accomplish that? What's the destiny of OCS?? 4 out of 11 found this valuable. Do you? |

Dec 18 2007, 10:25 PM EST Oracle Collaboration Suite comes with a number of pre-defined services such as Oracle Mail, Oracle WebCenter Suite is a User Interaction layer which allows you to plug in any existing Web 2.0 service you already have deployed. It does not mandate the back-end service. 1 out of 6 found this valuable. Do you? |

Jan 15 2008, 4:23 AM EST I sure hope Collab Suite is staying, at least until Oracle work out a reasonable pricing for WebCenter. With OCS I get all the features I need for less than $100 per user - as opposed to $50K per CPU for WebCenter... 1 out of 5 found this valuable. Do you? |

RE: Oracle WebCenter vs. Collaboration Suite
Jan 15 2008, 10:13 AM EST Well guys, I was looking at the price list... 1000$ per user... so let me understand something.. I can deploy a collaboration environment for 60$ per user with OCS, right? Or wait until it's released publicly... Why should a buy Webcenter? What's the main difference...? 0 out of 3 found this valuable. Do you? |

Jan 15 2008, 5:13 PM EST Oracle Collaboration Suite comes with a number of pre-defined services such as Oracle Mail, Oracle WebCenter Suite is a User Interaction layer which allows you to plug in any existing Web 2.0 service you already have deployed. It does not mandate the back-end service. To be clear Oracle WebCenter does not mandate the use of any particular any back-end service, you can use any or all of the Oracle Collaboration Suite services or any other non-Oracle services such as MS Exchange email. The Oracle Collaboration Suite is fixed to use the services that it comes with. It is planned to make the new version of Oracle Collaboration Suite available soon. Does that answer your question? 0 out of 2 found this valuable. Do you? |

RE: Oracle WebCenter vs. Collaboration Suite
Jan 15 2008, 8:54 PM EST WebCenter is a framework for building all sorts of applications, so you want WebCenter if you need to build and deploy your own code. One application built in WebCenter is WebCenter Spaces, which does contain all the normal OCS functionality like mail, calendar and shared documents. From what I hear, WebCenter Spaces was originally intended just as a demo of the cool things you could build with WebCenter, but customers liked it so much it became part of the product :-) 0 out of 2 found this valuable.

Jan 15 2008, 9:55 PM EST WebCenter Spaces is not planned to include its own email and calendar server, rather it will be able to use whatever standard email and calendar server you already have. 1 out of 3 found this valuable. Do you? |

RE: Oracle WebCenter vs. Collaboration Suite
Feb 4 2008, 5:20 AM EST WebCenter Spaces was not meant to be a demo application, but an out-of-the-box application that organizations could use immediately after installation (and configuration), and targeted at organizations that either did not have J2EE developers or would not like to spend time in writing their own custom application for any reason. But yes, you're right that this application has had very positive response from the select customers that it has been shared with in Beta programs. Not sure if you have seen a demo of WebCenter Spaces, here it is: http://download.oracle.com/otndocs/tech/webcenter/files/owcs_r11_spaces_viewlet_swf.html And some of the presentations at Oracle OpenWorld 2007 also covered WebCenter Spaces: http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/webcenter/oracle_openworld_2007_sf.html 2 out of 3 found this valuable.
