The first thing my Google search showed indicates WMI stands for Waste Management Institute.

I guess you are probably talking about a Microsoft API.

I further guess you are talking about the Windows Management Instrumentation SDK. If so, IMO the power of the Oracle Enterprise Manager that comes with the Oracle products (included in the product license) negates the need.

Now if you're talking about CIM as defined by dtmf (http://www.dtmf.org), to which [this latter definition of] WMI is supposed to be compliant, one might note that both Oracle and Microsoft are on the board so a search of CIM and Oracle might be more useful.
