Oracle ECM Alerts - Product News & Information

We just launched a new blog focused on keep the Oracle content management community up-to-date on product releases, integrations, certifications, events, samples, how-to's and more.

You'll be able to subscribe to the ecm alerts via RSS feeds on the blogs. You can monitor changes for all products and topics related to ECM. Or, we'll be tagging content by product (ODC, ODDC, I/PM, IRM, UCM, UOA, URM) and topic (Events, How-To's, Integration, Certification, Other, Release Information, Samples). This will enable you to monitor blog posts related to only the products and topics you're interested in via RSS feeds.

Tell us what you think, we'd love to hear your feedback.

Update to original Post: Oracle recently created a new Oracle Lifetime Support Policy PDF specifically for Fusion Middleware Products. It should make it easier to identify Oracle Enterprise Content Management Releases.

If you haven't come across the Oracle Lifetime Support Policy PDF for Fusion Middleware on Oracle.com, I encourage you to bookmark it. Starting on page 12, it provides a chart that walks through the 10gR3 releases as well as the Stellent and Captovation releases and details when premier and extended support ends. As many of you know, Oracle provides Sustaining support indefinitely for products. Details for each level of support are also included in this data sheet.

I have some good news! Due to the timing of the Stellent acquisition, 10gR3 of our ECM products were released in May 2007 (instead in 2006 with other Fusion Middleware 10gR3 releases). We understand many organizations have recently upgraded to 10gR3 or are currently in the process. Because of this, Oracle has extended Premier and Extended Support End dates for Imaging and Process Management as well as Universal Content Management - with Extended Support reaching out until 2015. The Oracle Lifetime Support Policy PDF for Fusion Middleware continues to reflect these recent changes.
