Oracle reveals swathe of Aussie rollouts
news Enterprise technology giant Oracle has published details of half a dozen sizable deployments of its technology by Australian customers, as it continues its push to convince local technology buyers of the popularity of its Fusion platforms.
The first example listed by the vendor in several statements published in late April relates to professional body Engineers Australia, which Oracle said had implemented the 11g versions of its BPM, WebLogic, SOA and E-Business suites to support its online eChartered platform.
According to Oracle, the system, which went live in early 2013, provides new online self-service capabilities which significantly improve the user experience for the group’s members replacing many cumbersome manual processes. The solution has resulted in enrolment processes being completed “90 per cent faster than before”, while staff can generate assessment reports in “seconds rather than 45 minutes”. The organisation has also cut the time taken to develop new system modules by three to four weeks. “Oracle offered a more comprehensive, cost-effective, and long-term solution than other middleware vendors,” said Richard Holmes, MIS Renewal Program Manager, Engineers Australia.
In another example, wagering giant Tabcorp revealed that in 2012 it deployed Oracle’s WebCentre, Service Bus, Coherence and WebLogic tools to support its popular website. Online transactions currently account for more than 20 percent of the company’s wagering revenue, and the company needs to support extreme peak transaction loads — processing more than 50 million transactions in one day on Melbourne Cup Day, for example. On Melbourne Cup Day the group’s site hits 1,000-plus transactions per second. Continue…

Australia’s universities hacked on a regular basis

However, there definitely are some serious break-ins around, as chronicled in this somewhat disturbing article published in late April by citizen journalism site The Citizen.
