Oracle® Database Now Available as Standard Component of OpSource's Web Operations Solution for SaaS and Web Companies

OpSource Joins Oracle PartnerNetwork as Reseller

Santa Clara, Calif., September 22, 2008 -- OpSource™, the leader in Web operations, today announced that Oracle® Database is now available as a standard component of its OpSource On-Demand Web operations solution. As a result, SaaS and Web companies whose applications are running on OpSource On-Demand will be able to more easily take advantage of Oracle high performance and highly scalable databases. In addition, OpSource has joined the Oracle PartnerNetwork as a reseller.

"Oracle is excited to have OpSource offer the Oracle Software-as-a-Service platform to their customers," said Judson Althoff, Group Vice President of Worldwide Alliances and Channels, Oracle. "This new reseller relationship with OpSource provides Oracle's ISV ecosystem with an On-Demand operations solution for SaaS applications. We look forward to the successful adoption of this solution by both current Oracle ISV partners and emerging SaaS companies."

While support for Oracle Database has always been available as part of OpSource On-Demand, until now, it was on an exception basis. By standardizing Oracle Database support in OpSource On-Demand, SaaS and Web companies will be able to more easily utilize Oracle databases. This will be good for SaaS and Web companies whose applications will benefit from Oracle's enterprise class software and for Oracle as it gains additional visibility in the rapidly growing SaaS market. At a minimum, OpSource will support Oracle Database 9i, 10g and 11g.

Michael Winner, CTO of Blink Logic, said, "As early adopters of Oracle Database 11g and Oracle Fusion, we are pleased to see that OpSource has formalized its relationship with Oracle and now includes Oracle technology as a standard component of their Web operations solution, OpSource On-Demand. We count on OpSource for secure, scalable delivery of our innovative cloud-based business intelligence solution and their expanded relationship with Oracle makes us even more confident in their ability to deliver."

Treb Ryan, CEO of OpSource, said, "I am pleased that we have solidified our relationship with Oracle by joining the Oracle PartnerNetwork. While we have worked closely with Oracle in the past as they worked to increase their SaaS footprint, it has been on an informal basis. Going forward, I expect our new relationship will accelerate the adoption of the SaaS model by the ISV community. The use of Oracle Database is all the more important as SaaS makes additional inroads into the enterprise market."
