Quest Software Unveils LiteSpeed Engine for Oracle

Quest Software stated that it has provided the SQL Server market with advanced, high-performance backup compression and encryption via LiteSpeed for SQL Server.

Now Quest said it brings this same backup and recovery technology to the Oracle platform with the launch of LiteSpeed Engine for Oracle.

According to Quest, LiteSpeed Engine for Oracle offers database administrators (DBAs) an advanced tool that cuts storage costs, reduces backup and restore times and delivers a solid return-on-investment. Oracle DBAs charged with handling secure backup and recovery strategies on a lean budget can realize 70 to 90 percent compression with LiteSpeed while maintaining complete control over the backup and recovery process.

"Having responsibility for both Oracle and SQL Server in my environment has become much easier and more seamless now that I can use LiteSpeed for backup and recovery on both platforms," said Tom Sager, DBA manager, E.ON US. "Using LiteSpeed Engine for Oracle, we achieved phenomenal results--81 percent reduced storage and vastly increased efficiency in our backup and recovery operations on Oracle."

"SQL Server DBAs have depended on the advanced technology and true benefits of LiteSpeed for years, and our customers have been asking for this capability to be extended to the Oracle market," said Billy Bosworth, vice president and general manager SQL Server, Quest Software. "In these tough economic times, customers want to work with vendors whom they can rely on over the long haul for all their database needs. We're very excited to bring cost savings, efficiency, and dependability to the Oracle backup market."

Sheridan Production Enhances Oracle E-Business Suite With Automated Invoice

ReadSoft's Oracle E-Business Suite-certified invoice processing solution has been implemented at Sheridan Production Co., a Houston-based oil and gas production company, to automate accounts payable operations. ReadSoft and partner INSYTE Information Corporation assisted the Sheridan team with the accounts payable enhancements.

With a strategy focused on acquiring mature producing oil and gas properties in the U.S., Sheridan Production faces an ever-increasing number of paper-based invoices. Along with basic invoice information, employees were manually typing in line item information from every incoming invoice into the accounts payable application. In addition, approvals were obtained from various district offices causing the invoice flow to be costly and inefficient. Sheridan turned to ReadSoft to alleviate the manual focus of their accounts payable department and help automate the approval process for operating personnel.

''Having implemented Oracle E-Business Suite at other larger corporations, working with the ReadSoft team has been terrific,'' said Anne Oglesby, Accounts Payable Supervisor at Sheridan Production. ''Not only did ReadSoft's solution simplify a complex business process, but its staff maintained first-rate customer focus during the entire process.''

The ReadSoft solution has been installed with Sheridan's Oracle E-Business Suite system to not only automatically capture information from paper invoices but also to utilize ReadSoft's automated workflow and approval procedures. ReadSoft's solution has achieved the highest possible product certification with Oracle E-Business Suite which gave Sheridan confidence to partner with ReadSoft.

''With Sheridan's expected future growth, we needed to have the infrastructure in place to process invoices as timely and efficiently as possible to help minimize costly manual procedures and maximize efficiency of vendor pay,'' said Tim Blaine, Sheridan Production CFO. ''ReadSoft's solution allows us to better utilize our current staffing with only modest planned increases as we continue to grow.''

''When growing companies like Sheridan Production handle accounts payable inside the Oracle E-Business Suite system, they will experience improved control of cash flow and invoices,'' said Bob Fresneda, President of ReadSoft North America. ''The ReadSoft and INSYTE teams are both pleased that the solution is successfully in production with Sheridan already experiencing the benefits promised.''
