9 Oracle9iAS Wireless Concepts

Oracle9iAS Wireless provides users of Oracle Collaboration Suite with wireless access to e-mails, voicemails, calendar data, address books, tasks, files, corporate directories, and instant messaging from any device with wireless or voice access. With Oracle9iAS Wireless, you can use your cell phone or other wireless device to receive and answer e-mail, send a white paper to a colleague or look up the phone numbers of other employees in your corporate directory, from anywhere.

Oracle9iAS Wireless Features

The following sections describe the key features of Oracle9iAS Wireless:

Instant Access from SMS or Any IM Client

Oracle9iAS Wireless enables you to access Oracle Collaboration Suite through Short Message Service (SMS) messages or any Instant Messenger (IM) client. You can send simple SMS commands to retrieve your appointments for the day, to modify or cancel a meeting, to look up employee information in corporate directory or personal address book, or to browse a files catalog to select a file to fax or send by e-mail. Similarly, any IM client can be used to access all your collaboration information by adding Oracle Collaboration Suite as a buddy to your contact list.

Voice Access

Oracle9iAS Wireless enables you to retrieve and reply to e-mail, manage appointments, call a contact, or receive notifications regarding important messages or meetings, through any phone. You can access Oracle Collaboration Suite components such as Oracle Email and Oracle Calendar by calling a gateway from a wired or wireless phone and interacting with a voice-based interface. The Oracle Collaboration Suite voice-enabled applications respond to both voice and touchtone commands, and run on any Oracle supported VoiceXML gateway with speaker-independent speech recognition.

Calendar and Address Book Access

Using wireless technology, Oracle Collaboration Suite enables you to manage your appointments and tasks from any mobile device. For example, you can:

  • Play the summary of new or modified appointment using voice access.

  • Manage your address books and contacts.

  • Add contacts into your address book based on their e-mail messages.

Access to Files

Oracle9iAs Wireless enables you to access Oracle Files from any device, including voice, from anywhere. For example, you can:

  • Integrate with Oracle Email to access Oracle Files attachments.

  • Enable document printing by fax (using third-party fax servers).

  • Remotely select an attachment and send it by e-mail to another mobile user.

Presence Management

Presence management is the method by which you define the best current method for being contacted at a given moment based on your availability and personal preferences. Oracle Collaboration Suite allows you to create a profile that defines where you are during the day and how you would prefer to be notified.
