Security demands for online applications such as e-commerce and Web services are prompting more corporate customers to hand off security functions - such as intrusion detection and firewalls - to outside service providers. Find out if security should be outsourced in this Network World article: http://www.fattail.com/redir/redirect.asp?CID=78264 _______________________________________________________________ Today's focus: Oracle Collaboration Suite By Neal Weinberg Oracle Collaboration Suite is a comprehensive set of tools to help companies manage information across whatever boundaries they might have. Tools such as Web conferencing, e-mail, calendaring, file storage and content searching are provided in an environment that lets data get stored, shared and ultimately found by those who need it. The OCS is built on the Oracle Database and the Oracle Application Server products. OCS can be accessed through a customizable Web portal, using applets to access the calendar, e-mail and other functions. Alternatively, there are stand-alone applications available to access the calendar, and various e-mail clients can connect using POP or Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP ). The OCS administration is very detailed. After the installation, there was a small group of administrator accounts with complete control over each applet. But additional administrators can be created within each applet. This gives the ability to grant one user the rights to provision calendar accounts, but maybe a different user to provision e-mail privileges. Or, perhaps you need different administrators for each department. OCS gives you the flexibility to assign rights in whatever ways your business requires. The first tool that one thinks of when you use the word collaboration is Web conference. OCS is no exception, offering Web conferencing with the standard array of functions such as application sharing, whiteboarding and chat. A small console in the form of an executable is downloaded when a new user enters a conference. From there, the conference presenter can share application windows or their entire desktop. The presenter can maintain control of the whiteboard, or it can be shared with others. Public and private chat sessions also can be launched, and it has the ability to conduct polls. The presenter can coordinate the viewing of a Web page or a document that was loaded into the conference beforehand. Overall, the Web conferencing in OCS is as good as any other product with which we've worked.
