Oracle Collaboration Suite

Launched in 2000, after earlier product lines including "Oracle Mail" and Oracle InterOffice the Oracle Collaboration Suite represented the next attempt^{[citation needed]} by Oracle Corporation to enter the enterprise collaboration systems market. While these products lacked the type of commercial success of Microsoft Exchange, for example, they represented an early database-driven communications and messaging application platform which is used internally by Oracle and by a number of large customers, worldwide. Initially marketed as a Unified Messaging system, it has grown as a product to incorporate many of the features one would expect in an Enterprise level collaborative tool, as well as features more normally associated with standalone Content management systems. These features include:

• Real Time Collaboration
  • Instant Messaging
  • Web Conferencing
  • Desktop sharing
• Unified Messaging
  • eMail
  • Voice Mail
  • Fax
  • Telephony
  • Wireless and Voice Access
  • Outlook integration
• Calendaring
• Content Management
  • Files
• Records Management

Contrast the newer (2008) product Oracle Beehive, "the next generation of Oracle's enterprise collaboration technologies".
