Tokyo, Japan, Mar 1, 2006 - (JCN Newswire) - Justsystems, Inc., a leading enterprise software provider, announced today the release of "xfy Enterprise Solution Plus for Oracle Database 10g," an integrated development and runtime environment for corporate XML applications designed for "Oracle Database 10g Release2," at Oracle OpenWorld Tokyo 2006, which opens today.

The xfy technology combined with "Oracle Database 10g" allows native processing for both existing relational database (RDB) and XML data, while at the same time enabling an ultra rapid application development (UltraRAD) environment. The company will begin shipping "xfy Enterprise Solution Plus for Oracle Database 10g" during the third quarter of this year.

"An integration of xfy, which with its open and standard technology, provides a flexible XML application platform, and the Oracle Database 10g's XML function with high reliability and content management functions make the next generation of XML system architecture possible," said Kevin Walsh, SVP, Research and Development and Chief Technology Officer, Oracle Asia Pacific. "We expect that this product will consolidate segmented corporate business data, thereby contributing to greatly promoting the development of new applications, which utilize existing system assets to readily respond to changes in the business environment."

Masaaki Shintaku, President & CEO, Oracle Corporation Japan said, "Oracle's advanced data management functions, together with xfy's flexible and highly extensible RAD function will dramatically enhance business productivity with sophisticated applications made possible through data visualization. We envisage that, with the penetration of XML, the time will come when this dynamic combination of more flexible data processing provided by Web services and advanced information processing provided by document applications, will sustain corporate decision-making. Oracle and Justsystems are committed to continued provision of a corporate environment which meets such a new IT era."

About "xfy Enterprise Solution Plus for Oracle Database 10g"

IT systems based on databases, which handle huge amounts of data, have been constructed as a way of using IT, which has long supported business activities and public infrastructure. During the last decade, however, due to such factors as the emergence of new businesses, through globalization of the economy and the rapid spread of the Internet, the use of advanced IT with even greater flexibility and scalability has become necessary.

As one means of solving this problem, rich applications that enable integration with pre-existing databases are needed on the client side. xfy serves as a platform for implementing such powerful client environments.

"xfy Enterprise Solution Plus for Oracle Database 10g", through combination with the proven "Oracle Database 10g", has realized "UltraRAD" which quickly and freely creates applications with the user interface, enabling end users in far larger numbers than ever before to interact with databases.
