Oracle Enterprise Content Management 11g released!

There was a major product launch earlier this week from Oracle and wisely they chose Tuesday to launch because some other tech company had some kind of new phone coming out.

There are lots of great new things in the new release: the most major change for all of us who have worked with the product for years is the change to an Application Server container architecture as opposed to the J2SE standalone app that UCM / Content Server has been ever since day one.  For most practical purposes the application is fundamentally the same, but the new container architecture will allow us to do lots of great things with security integrations, cluster configs, and enterprise monitoring that were much more difficult to do with 10gR3.

The other exciting change is that IPM (Image Processing Management) 11g now integrates and co-exists with UCM/ECM.  This is huge because it allows enterprises to now integrate their transactional and standard content into one system (or one common application architecture) and the transformational possibilities of this are substantial.

Lots more to come on this over the next few posts.  In the mean time take a look at Bex, Billy, and John for their takes.
