    REDWOOD SHORES, Calif., May 12 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
    -- In order to provide targeted financial performance metrics and
       compliance information to multiple stakeholders within the
       organization, Oracle has delivered Oracle's JD Edwards EnterpriseOne
       Financial Management and Compliance Console.  This new application
       enables JD Edwards EnterpriseOne customers to define role-based views
       across a comprehensive set of performance metrics to deliver users
       relevant information within their areas of responsibility.
    -- Built using core JD Edwards EnterpriseOne technology, the console
       extends JD Edwards EnterpriseOne financial applications and
       demonstrates Oracle's ongoing commitment to protect and extend
       customers' existing investments as part of Oracle's "Applications
       Unlimited" program.
    -- Now, operational users are empowered with analysis capabilities at
       their desktops, enabling them to better communicate operational goals
       and quickly identify and address problems at the line-of-business
       level.

    -- Easy to use, maintain and extend, the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne
       Financial Management and Compliance Console is a configurable, role-
       based console that contains 47 pre-defined metrics that can be adapted
       to hundreds of permutations depending on a company's requirements.
       Metrics include financial ratios, general accounting, accounts
       receivable, accounts payable and corporate governance.
    -- The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Financial Management and Compliance
       Console also includes seven categories of compliance alerts to support
       operational controls in an organization.  Compliance alerts allow
       organizations to monitor changes to critical system settings such as
       credit limits and expense management policies, and also provides alerts
       that identify segregation of duties exposures.
    -- Architected to be easily extended by customers and business partners
       using existing JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Tools, custom metrics and
       alerts can also be attached to JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Financial
       Management and Compliance Console.
    -- Oracle business partners are already extending the console with
       industry-specific content to support homebuilders, engineering and
       construction companies, as well as providing additional functional
       content in the area of governance, risk and compliance.
    -- The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Financial Management and Compliance
       Console does not require a data warehouse, thereby lowering total cost
       of ownership and providing businesses an affordable point of entry into
       business analytics.
    Supporting Quotes
    -- "We purchased the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Financial Management and
       Compliance Console based on its ability to deliver targeted analytics
       to various roles in our organization and its low cost of ownership,"
       said Dan Holverson, Director, Applications Systems with the Orlando
       Utilities Commission.  "We plan to implement this solution along with
       our JD Edwards EnterpriseOne 8.12 upgrade which is scheduled for go-
       live later this year.  The configurable nature of the console will
       allow us to add custom metrics and alerts as needed."
    -- "Q Software is pleased to be one of Oracle's Enterprise Security and
       GRC partners and is proud to be the first partner to commit to develop
       security and compliance feeds into the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne
       Financial Management and Compliance Console," said Mike Ward, Managing
       Director of Q Software Global Limited. "This is a natural extension not
       only of the close working relationship between Oracle and Q Software --
       but also of the GRC and security solutions we already provide to well
       over 200 JD Edwards customers. We are well advanced in developing the
       core technologies required for JD Edwards EnterpriseOne compliance data
       extraction and reporting. Once ready, we will extend this to provide
       the necessary interface for the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Financial
       Management Compliance Console."
    -- "Operational consoles are the new front door to analytics," said Oracle
       Group Vice President, Lenley Hensarling.  "The new JD Edward's
       EnterpriseOne Financial Management and Compliance Console puts powerful
       analysis capabilities into the hands of operational users -- such as
       those within a division or specific department -- to support an agile
       and adaptive enterprise with more informed business decision making.
       We believe organizations of all sizes will benefit from this latest
       solution."
