Oracle and Nokia today announced the launch of Oracle Sales for Handhelds and Mobile Field Service applications on Nokia (NYSE: NOK) Series 80 devices, including the Nokia 9300 and 9300i Smartphones and the Nokia 9500 Communicator. As the press release says, the new solutions will enable mobile workers to use one device to access all critical business applications, as well as voice communications, while out of the office. The two companies also announced the availability of the Oracle Database Lite 10g Release 2 for the Symbian operating system.
Oracle’s support for the Symbian OS will deliver the benefits of Oracle Grid technology, including continuous and secure data and application availability from the enterprise to the mobile worker. The integrated solution will enable enterprise applications, such as customer relationship management (CRM) and sales force automation, to extend to the growing number of Symbian OS-based Smartphones worldwide.
To further improve their long-standing relationship and enabling tighter collaboration between the two companies’ developer communities, Nokia has joined the Oracle PartnerNetwork, and Oracle has become a member of Forum Nokia PRO Enterprise Zone.
The Oracle and Nokia solutions will be exhibited on Oracle’s stand in Hall 1 – D100 at the 3GSM World Congress taking place in Barcelona, Spain, from 13-16 February 2006.
