Simplify IT
Complex, aging IT infrastructures dont just impact application performance.
Poor integration between systems and slow response times from mission-critical
applications impede productivity, customer care, and business agility. The spiraling
cost of managing complex IT environments isnt just felt in the data center; it has
repercussions for business units across the enterprise.
This e-book offers an overview of how you
can meet these challenges by using Oracles
engineered systems, best-in-class servers and
storage, and Oracle Optimized Solutions to run
applications from across the Oracle portfolio:
Oracle E-Business Suite, Oracles Siebel CRM,
PeopleSoft, and JD Edwards EnterpriseOne.
Read on to discover how Oracle applications
running on Oracle systems are designed and
engineered to work together to maximize
efficiency and innovation.

Greater Insight, Greater Agility

Optimize Your IT Investments

Reliable, high-performance systems mean new

levels of business insight become available. This
enhanced insight enables timely, better-informed
decision-making for increased business agility
so you can respond to rapid business changes.
With greater insight available, your business can
spend more time focusing on innovation than
tackling IT challenges.

When you run Oracle applications on Oracle

systems, you optimize the value you can get from
your IT investments. With systems engineered
from the ground up to work together, you get
huge performance and efficiency gains, as well as
dramatic improvements in reliability and security
from a simplified IT infrastructure.
That means less time and money spent on
getting back-office systems to work together,
and more resources available to focus on
delivering the innovations that add measurable
business value.

Increased application performance and reliability

put control back in the hands of your business
leaders. With IT bottlenecks eliminated,
employees can be more productive, new
opportunities to optimize business processes
emerge, and line-of-business teams such as
finance, procurement, HR, customer care,
manufacturing, sales, and marketing are able to
transform the way they deliver services.

Superior IT Efficiency

Lower TCO: Simplify hardware and software

upgrades, management, and support to realize
up to 5x lower total cost of ownership compared
to older systems or competitive solutions.
