Oracle: More Google Goodness

April 9, 2009

The disappearance of Oracle’s Secure Enterprise Search 10g behind Oracle’s Gadget Wizard for Google Apps continued. Forbes.com reported in its news release service “Oracle Introduces Oracle Gadget Wizard for Google Apps and Support for Google’s Secure Data Connector” made zero reference to Oracle’s own search solution. I might be missing something, but Oracle–a Google partner–seems to be getting more Googley. You can read the news release / story here. One statement in the news release / story caught my attention:

Now corporations connect selected data elements from within their enterprise with Oracle’s gadgets on their Google Sites. — With the Oracle Gadget Wizard for Google Apps, users can easily build gadgets without any prior programming knowledge. This promotes the development of gadgets that leverage Oracle CRM and will foster the development of gadgets leveraging Oracle CRM, providing customers and partners an opportunity to build new mobile or gadget applications and quickly get new features out to customers.

As I read this, Oracle customers can use various Google functions to boost Oracle’s utility. I suppose that includes the Google Search Appliance as well. I wonder where SES10g fits into this picture.
