"Only a low-cost and convenient device like the Network Computer will enable worldwide plans to spread literacy, education, and communication through computer access. Network Computers, coupled with the Internet global network, can create a network economy and, yes, a network community."
For nearly two decades, Oracle Corporation has been solving complex, critical information management challenges for companies of all types and sizes. In fact, Oracle is the world's largest independent provider of software and services for managing information, with more than 20,000 dedicated software professionals, and operations in more than 90 countries.
Oracle was founded in 1977 with a vision of finding faster, easier, less expensive, and more powerful ways to manage and access information, and that vision has become a reality. We built the first commercial relational database system. We sold the first products employing SQL (structured query language), now the industry standard. We saw the value of low-cost, client/server systems over proprietary mainframes. We pioneered portable software that today runs on practically all hardware, from PCs to mainframes. In recent years, we've championed parallel software as the breakthrough that will power very large database applications like data warehousing and information-on-demand. And most recently, we introduced Oracle® Universal Server, an extremely powerful software platform with the ability to integrate and consolidate all types of data for thousands of users over any network, including the World Wide Web.
Our technology innovations have driven the computer industry, and more importantly, have enabled our customers to be more productive and more competitive using computers that cost less, but do more. This focus on software innovation explains why our information management software has emerged as the technology backbone for the Information Age, making possible tasks ranging from managing huge amounts of corporate information to delivering a favorite movie to your living room.
