Harald Collet, Oracle Files Online: "Content management for the rest of us"

Content management is undergoing a major evolutionary change that executives, IT and line-of-business managers, and technologists need to fully understand. The term "enterprise content management" has been applied for the past few years to a range of technologies that manage documents, Web content, and other unstructured information assets. However, until recently the term has been a complete misnomer, because virtually no solutions have actually been implemented across an entire enterprise and only a very small fraction of workers who should use content management actually do so. This presentation describes Oracle's content management architecture as well as our internal deployment - Oracle Files Online - that manages more than 22M documents in one instance of the Oracle database with an average concurrency of 2000-3000 internal users adding 30,000 new content items every single day. This deployment is an example of how the database provides the foundation for "content management for the rest of us."
