• ORACLE REVAMPS CHANNEL RESELLERS PLAN In OraWorld's September 20 news update, we told you about the Oracle Authorized Reseller (OAR) program. Well, it seems that this new effort wasn't well-choreographed with Oracle's existing distributors. Go to http://www.oraworld.com/news.htm#Revamps for more information.
• NIPPON STEEL INVESTS 3 BILLION YEN IN ORACLE'S JAPANESE UNIT In 1991, Nippon Steel Corp. invested a significant amount of money in Oracle Corp., enabling the database vendor to not have to worry about money as it finished construction on its shining emerald headquarters at Redwood Shores. On December 1, Nippon Steel again confirmed its commitment to Oracle in three billion different ways. Go to http://www.oraworld.com/news.htm#Nippon for more information.
• ORACLE'S NEW INTERNET SOFTWARE UNIT In our September 1, 1997 news update, OraWorld announced that Oracle launched a business unit to position InterOffice -- an email and groupware product it's already repositioned a couple of times -- as an engine for electronic commerce and other business applications. Oracle recently announced that it has committed 500 employees to this new business unit dedicated to its InterOffice groupware, Internet Commerce Server, and Web Application Server products. Go to http://www.oraworld.com/news.htm#Internet for more information.
• ORACLE "VALHALLA" JAVA IDE TO ENTER BETA Oracle is expected to announce next week that its integrated Java development environment, code-named "Valhalla," has entered beta-testing.
