Amidst the Oracle's effort of drinking my blood (yes, I am experimenting with 'Oracle iAS Portal 10g' for the last few days :-) ), Oracle today announced the launch of their new Enterprise Content Management (ECM) technology, Oracle(R) Files 10g.

Oracle Files 10g (Tsunami) is expected to be released in early 2005. Check the news release here - Oracle Enterprise Content Management (ECM)
