Release
Oracle Announces General Availability of Oracle Communications Network Integrity 7.1New Release Helps Network Operators Reduce Network and Operational Costs through Improved Data Accuracy
Redwood Shores, Calif. – February 2, 2012 News Facts Oracle today announced the general availability of Oracle Communications Network Integrity 7.1 to enable network operators to synchronize and maintain accurate, up to date information in their network inventory systems. Increased network data accuracy is a prerequisite for network operators to significantly reduce network capital and operational costs, as well as improve service fulfillment and assurance process efficiency. Release 7.1 provides several new capabilities, including: Assimilation: New circuit and service assimilation and discrepancy detection capabilities for channelized technologies – such as optical – to enable network operators to identify and recover stranded network assets and capacity as well as reduce leased capacity costs. Rigorous Support for Industry Protocol Standards: This release supports the Telcordia-standard Transaction Language 1 (TL1) interface to enable discovery across a broad set of network elements. It also supports the TMF-814 interface standard, which was used to formally certify the Oracle application interoperability with Huawei’s U2000 Network Management System, demonstrating how supporting such standards can reduce the risk, time and cost of delivering integrated solutions. Oracle Communications Network Integrity is a modular component within Oracle’s holistic solution for Network Resource Management, which enables network operators to plan, build, optimize and manage their communications networks. It may be deployed in an integrated manner with Oracle or third-party inventory platforms. Supporting Quotes “Inaccurate network inventory data is a long-standing and growing problem for network operators resulting in elevated costs and inefficient operations that often impact end customers. Network operators are increasingly seeking solutions such as Oracle Communications Network Integrity which, together with improved internal processes, can materially reduce network related costs and deliver significant operational efficiencies,” said Mark Mortensen, principal analyst, Analysys Mason. “As demand for network capacity continues to escalate, network operators must be able to efficiently discover the assets and capacity in their network, determine current utilization and enable more efficient asset utilization. In providing additional productized integration, assimilation capabilities and enhanced discovery protocol support, Oracle Communications Network Integrity 7.1 helps network operators more easily achieve these goals by leveraging their existing network inventory investments and avoiding a costly, lengthy and high risk network inventory transformation program,” said Liam Maxwell, vice president, products, Oracle Communications. Supporting ResourcesAbout Oracle Communications Only Oracle’s software and systems span the communications industry technology landscape — from carrier-grade servers, storage and IT infrastructure, to mission-critical business and operational support systems and service delivery platforms; from business intelligence applications and retail point-of-sale solutions to the Java platform running on more than three billion mobile and handheld devices.

Release
Vanderbilt University Selects Oracle’s PeopleSoft Customer Relationship Management to Overhaul its Admissions System and Enhance Strategic Assessments for Campus ProgramsLeading Research Institution Will Integrate its CRM Solution with PeopleSoft Campus Solutions Warehouse to Improve Enrollment Management
Redwood Shores, Calif. – January 31, 2011 News Facts Oracle today announced that Vanderbilt University, an internationally recognized research university located in Nashville, Tenn. with more than 12,000 undergraduate and graduate students, has selected Oracle’s PeopleSoft Customer Relationship Management (CRM) to transform its outdated legacy admissions system and meet CRM needs for other campus programs, such as student life, advising and scholarship recruitment. Vanderbilt’s legacy undergraduate admissions system, Recruitment Plus, is being discontinued. In addition, the graduate and professional schools use varying homegrown and vendor solutions, which creates inefficiencies and prevents collaboration. The administrati on wanted to replace its admissions systems with a CRM solution that could strategically analyze Vanderbilt’s admissions data to accurately assess all programs offered by the institution. PeopleSoft Customer Relationship Management will enable the institution to integrate six admissions systems into one comprehensive solution. This will help Vanderbilt enhance strategic reporting, facilitate more efficient information transfer between departments and colleges and reduce complexity associated with student records integration. Vanderbilt recently began the implementation and expects to complete its new undergraduate admissions system in August 2012, with the graduate and professional schools to follow in August 2013. Nine of Vanderbilt’s colleges and schools, totaling approximately 300 business users, will utilize the new solution. Oracle Gold Partner Exeter Group Inc. is assisting with the implementation. Supporting Quotes “Administering six separate admissions systems has created operational inefficiencies, prevented inter-campus collaboration and increased operating costs. By consolidating our admissions systems with Oracle’s PeopleSoft Customer Relationship Management, and integrating it with PeopleSoft Campus Solutions Warehouse and PeopleSoft Performance Management Warehouse, we can provide administrators with a comprehensive view of the institution’s admissions and scholarship procedures to accurately assess the strength of our programs and make informed business decisions,” said Douglas L. Christiansen, vice provost for enrollment and dean of admissions, Vanderbilt University. “As competition for top students grows, higher education institutions are looking for ways to operate more efficiently and improve student retention. By selecting Oracle’s PeopleSoft CRM, Vanderbilt will facilitate greater communication between its colleges, schools and departments to enhance student selection and retention,” said Steve Koporec, vice president, applications, Oracle Higher Education.
