The Oracle Universal Content Management Handbook

By: Dmitri Khanine

Overview of this book

Oracle UCM is a world-leading Enterprise Content Management platform. From Document Management, Web, Records, and more—Oracle has got all your business needs covered. Oracle UCM enables your organization to efficiently manage, store, preserve, and deliver content and documents. Written by Oracle ACE Dmitri Khanine, this book is a complete practical guide to building an ECM system and successfully configuring, administering, and operating it. It also shows you how to efficiently manage your organization's content and customize the UCM to fit your needs. This book wastes no time in getting you up and running and dives straight into the installation of the content server in Chapter 1. In the second chapter, you will master all the major controls and the admin interface. Metadata—a very important ingredient of any ECM—is thoroughly covered in Chapter 3. The book then moves on to the important tasks of securing your ECM system, configuring and managing workflows, and understanding and implementing virtual folders. The book also gives you an under-the-hood view of Stellent in Chapter 7. In the later chapters, you will learn how to migrate content like a pro and easily customize Oracle ECM. A bonus addition to the book is the final chapter, which is an easy-to-follow primer on web content management.

Service providers


In this section I'm giving you some consulting and training providers, and how to find others if you need to. Consulting providers are first—please see below.

Consulting

Selecting a consulting vendor is a matter of chemistry, personal preferences, and many other factors, so I'll only give you a short list. You can always find additional vendors at Find Oracle Partner Page: http://solutions.oracle.com.

But before you go there, I suggest you check out Fishbowl Solutions (http://www.fishbowlsolutions.com), one of the oldest and most reputable solutions providers in the Oracle UCM space.

Another one that provides refreshingly low prices and unbeatable true lifetime warranty on all customizations is the StellentExperts.com.

And now let's look at your options for custom UCM training.

Training

Almost every Oracle UCM consulting vendor can provide you with the custom training, but you need to be aware of the common pitfalls. Check out the last section of Chapter 10, Customizing Oracle UCM, before you ask yours about it.

Your other option is to go to the source and consider engaging me personally. From time to time I'm available for a limited number of training and consulting engagements. Check out About Author section for details on how to contact me.

And if you insist on formal education or you need to get your folks certified—check out Oracle University (http://education.oracle.com) and look for the UCM courses.

And now let's conclude our Resource Directory by looking at books, magazines, and major whitepapers.
