For nearly two decades, Oracle Corporation has been solving complex, critical information management challenges for companies of all types and sizes. In fact, Oracle is the world's largest independent provider of software and services for managing information, with more than 16,000 dedicated software professionals, and operations in more than 90 countries.

Oracle was founded in 1977 with a vision of finding faster, easier, less expensive, and more powerful ways to manage and access information, and that vision has become our reality. We built the first commercial relational database system. We sold the first products employing SQL (structured query language), now the industry standard. We saw the value of low-cost, client/server systems over traditional proprietary mainframes. We pioneered portable software that today runs on practically all hardware, from PCs to mainframes, to interactive television set-top boxes. In recent years, we've championed parallel software as the breakthrough that will power very large database applications like data warehousing and video-on-demand.

Our technology innovations have driven the computer industry and, more importantly, enabled our customers to be more productive and more competitive using computers that cost less, but do more. This focus on software innovation explains why our information management software has emerged as the technology backbone for the Information Age, making possible tasks ranging from managing huge amounts of corporate information to delivering a favorite movie to your living room.
