Oracle Keeps Secure Enterprise Search Alive
November 18, 2013
When this article came up on my news feed it appeared to be an average press release: “Secure Enterprise Search 11.2.2.2. Now Available For PeopleTools 8.53.” Companies make upgrades everyday and if we wrote about all of them Beyond Search would turn into an advertising blog. A second glance made me catch notice of the news source: the Oracle Blog. Now this is an interesting development, because Oracle is keeping secure enterprise search breathing.
Secure search is a necessity for enterprise applications, especially those that deal with employee and customer related information. Oracle’s PeopleSoft software is one of the leading human resources and customer management products and the upgrades provide necessary support:
“We are pleased to announce that Oracle Secure Enterprise Search (SES) 11.2.2.2 is now available to PeopleSoft Customers on PeopleTools 8.53. The minimum PeopleTools Patch Version Required to adopt SES 11.2.2.2 is PeopleTools 8.53.06. This version of SES provides some important benefits for PeopleSoft Customers, particularly in the areas of platform support, distributed architecture support, and RAC support. You can get all the details on this update on My Oracle Support.”
Good for Oracle, but are they investing their time wisely in a secure search when there are so many other options on the market? Endeca, RightNow, and InQuira options also available and they are under the Oracle umbrella.
