Quest Software Provides Enterprise Fixed Content

Quest Software Inc, a leading provider of application management solutions and active member of the Oracle PartnerNetwork, announced that the Quest Vista Plus Suite will leverage the Oracle Application Server 10g portal to deliver enterprise fixed content to end users. To enable customers to view application-generated production reports through the Oracle Application Server Portal without the need for installed client applications, Vista Plus Suite will leverage the fast and scalable Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE) engine in Oracle Application Server 10g.

The Vista Plus Suite is a leading enterprise information management system that allows for quick and secure access to business-critical fixed content by archiving and delivering electronic documents, reports and print output to corporate and customer-facing portals via a Web interface. "Customers are seeking efficient ways to manage and access the plethora of content generated through multiple applications in their enterprise," said Thomas Kurian, senior vice president of Oracle Application Server Development at Oracle. "The combination of the Vista Plus suite and Oracle Application Server 10g infrastructure will provide customers with a robust, end-to-end fixed content delivery system."

Whether a document or report initiates from business suite applications or a legacy production application, the Vista Plus Suite enables users of Oracle Application Server 10g Portal to be one-click away from essential content they need to perform their jobs, including financial reports, customer statements and invoices.

Users can easily access a personalized folder of reports and retrieve an HTML or PDF version. Vista Plus' page-at-a-time delivery ensures efficient use of bandwidth even for the largest reports, and its page-level security capabilities guarantee that users only see their authorized content. Furthermore, as a J2EE-compliant Web application, the Vista Plus Suite will leverage the grid computing features of Oracle Application Server 10g, reduce infrastructure costs and ensure high availability and unmatched scalability. The product also integrates with the pre-built services and functionality of Oracle Application Server 10g, such as Single Sign-On, eliminating the need for users to have different logins just to view their reports.

Pricing And Availability

The Vista Plus Suite consists of three components, an output manager, electronic forms server and scalable central repository. The Vista Plus Suite comes standard with Oracle9iAS support and is available now with pricing starting at $25,000 per server.
