Oracle is rapidly location-enabling many of its business applications so that users can access, visualize, query and analyze spatial information together with non-spatial information in the same enterprise database, from the same familiar application environment.

In this podcast, learn firsthand how Oracle Utilities is taking advantage of Oracle Application Server MapViewer, Oracle Locator and Oracle Spatial in utility industry applications. In addition, you'll hear how many of the Oracle applications that were acquired from Siebel, JD Edwards and PeopleSoft will use Oracle Spatial Technology. We will be speaking to Peter Turi, Director, Product Management, Oracle Utilities Work and Asset Management, and Jim Steiner, Senior Director, Oracle Server Technology.

We know Wall Street is fickle but this time the numbers add up just fine. Oracle reported Q3 results which disappointed investors because sales of new Oracle application licenses grew just 7% compared to 63% in Q2. While total software revenue grew 21%, Wall Street focused on new applications. It is important to recognize that this is the sweet spot of potential geospatial revenue as well. While we tend to think of only Oracle Spatial/Locator as a feature set, the growth in geospatially-enabled applications, specifically Oracle applications in vertical markets, is where the growth will be. If we see this part of the business slowing, then its likely the adoption of spatially-enable applications will be affected. Caution: this is just a forecast only because in speaking with Oracle at the Oracle Spatial Users Group meeting, interest in vertical applications for spatial are humming along.
