Oracle offers Discounted Software to Absolute Customers

Absolute Software has been approved to integrate Oracle Embedded Software Licenses (ESL) within it's flagship application the Fleet Information System.

ESLs are a restricted type of license sold by an Oracle partner where the Oracle Database is truly embedded in an application package. The Embedded Software License allows Absolute Software to offer its customers a turnkey solution incorporating technology from Oracle Corporation. Oracle provides the database storage system utilized by Absolute's products, including sophisticated features such as Streams Replication (for high availability) and the Oracle Spatial Geographic Information System.

Clients receive the full capabilities of the Oracle Enterprise Edition database platform, but with use restricted to the Fleet Information System application from Absolute. Licensing costs are substantially reduced and consolidated support of both the database platform and application is available directly from Absolute. For customers where an ESL license may not meet all requirements, Absolute also continues to sell unrestricted Oracle Database products in addition to the new ESL offering.

Jeff Chandler, Director of Key Accounts, explained the advantages to customers, "Absolute is already an Oracle Partner, and we look forward to broadening this relationship with the new embedded software option. We feel this is particularly attractive to government customers who wish to host Absolute's applications within their own environment."
