Oracle is acquiring Stellent for £237m to boost its
enterprise content management offering.
Stellent’s Universal Content Management allows users to deploy
public websites, secure intranets and extranets, compliance
processes and marketing brand management. The technology can also
be scaled to support multi-site management and enterprise-wide
content management needs.
Oracle senior vice-president Thomas Kurian said, “Stellent’s
enterprise content management solutions enable a variety of people
within an organisation to create, capture, store, manage, publish,
view, search, and archive all types of documents across their
entire lifecycle.”
Oracle said Stellent’s Universal Content Management system could
be integrated with Oracle Content Database, which enables
enterprises to store and centrally manage unstructured content in
Oracle databases.
Stellent has more than 4,700 customers worldwide, including
Procter & Gamble, Merrill Lynch, the British Red Cross, ING,
Vodafone, and Bayer. The transaction is expected to be completed by
the end of the year or early 2007, said Oracle.
