Oracle Earns Top Honors with Five Intelligent Enterprise Readers’ Choice Awards

Wins Over SAP and Microsoft Demonstrate Customer Satisfaction with Oracle

REDWOOD SHORES, Calif. 22-JAN-2007 Oracle today announced that it won five Intelligent Enterprise 2007 Readers’ Choice Awards, including: “Best CRM Suite,” “Best ERP Software,” “Best Supply Chain Management System,” “Best Database Management System,” and “Best Customer Data Integration Software.” The results reinforce the strength and breadth of Oracle’s entire product portfolio, and demonstrate that customers continue to rely on Oracle to manage their enterprises.

The Intelligent Enterprise 2007 Readers’ Choice Awards reveal subscribers’ preferred vendors in a range of technology categories.

Additionally, Oracle earned the “Best Customer Data Integration Software” award for the third consecutive year.

Intelligent Enterprise polls its readers every year to determine which vendors are most deserving of praise in each category.
