Oracle Outsourcing offerings include Oracle E-Business Suite Outsourcing and Oracle Technology Outsourcing services. Traditionally, Oracle's software -- Oracle E-Business Suite, Oracle9i Database and Oracle9i Application Server (Oracle9iAS) -- is shipped to customers on CDs, and it is each customer's responsibility to install the software in their data center. With Oracle Outsourcing, the software is installed at Oracle or the client's data center and managed and administered by Oracle experts. By outsourcing the management and administration of their Oracle software to Oracle, customers have reduced information technology (IT) costs by up to 50 percent, increased the resolution of software issues by up to 50 percent, eliminated lengthy software implementations, and increased productivity through better focus on core business competencies.

Bytemobile, a global wireless optimization software and services company, recently purchased Oracle E-Business Outsourcing and went live with several Oracle E-Business Suite applications in six weeks. The company chose Oracle E-Business Suite Outsourcing for its single vendor solution.
"With Oracle E-Business Suite Outsourcing, we have Oracle's experienced and knowledgeable staff managing our applications, allowing our employees to focus on strategic corporate goals of developing high quality solutions for mobile network operators around the world," said Randy Stevens, corporate controller for Bytemobile.
