Oracle Corp. Canada will work with Sun Microsystems of Canada Inc. and communication solutions provider, Allstream (formerly AT&T Canada) to help users improve security and reduce the cost and complexity associated with managing collaborative communications environments by switching from Microsoft Exchange to Oracle Collaboration Suite. Allstream will provide an assessment and produce a report showing actual costs and the potential savings (for qualified customers) from using Oracle Collaboration Suite.

Sun is providing a cost-effective, stable platform for Oracle Collaboration Suite customers. The combination of Sun hardware and Oracle Collaboration Suite provides a simplified approach that results in a centralized, secure and scalable infrastructure. This significantly reduces administration and infrastructure costs while improving security and manageability.

"Sun Solaris (OS) is a key development platform for Oracle Database and Oracle Collaboration Suite, making Solaris (OS) an ideal platform for deployment," said Stephane Boisvert, president, Sun Microsystems of Canada Inc. "Together with our partners we will help customers drive out the cost and complexity associated with managing their messaging environments."

"With our long history of integration expertise, Allstream will provide the professional capabilities required to help customers implement and upgrade to Oracle Collaboration Suite successfully," said John MacDonald, president and chief operating officer, Allstream. "This partnership with Oracle and Sun Canada is another example of how we can deliver business solutions that help customers compete more effectively."

Oracle Collaboration Suite is a single, integrated system for all of an organization's communication data: Email, voicemail, fax, Web conferencing, calendar and files. Oracle Collaboration Suite leverages a relational database to offer a secure, reliable and scalable way to simplify business communications and consolidate information. It is built on the Oracle9i infrastructure.

According to Geoff Plummer, director, IT Systems, District of Muskoka, which recently chose Oracle Collaboration Suite over Microsoft Exchange: "Anyone who is considering implementing a collaborative communications solution should take a close look at Oracle Collaboration Suite," said Mr. Plummer. "Once we did our analysis and crunched the numbers, Oracle proved to be a more cost-effective solution by a wide margin."
