University of Rochester Announces New Partnership With Oracle Corporation
March 20, 2006 - - University of Rochester Information Technology Services (ITS) has been working with Oracle Corporation for the past 45 days to negotiate an ongoing relationship for significant improved savings on specific Oracle products and maintenance through a site license. ITS is pleased to announce that negotiations have been completed and the University now holds a site license for the Oracle database product. This site license will significantly reduce costs for the University and ITS estimates that the savings will be hundreds of thousands of dollars over the next several years.
“This concentrated effort was fueled by increased demand from the University community as Oracle is consistently the most requested site license product,” according to Julie Buehler, Interim Co-CIO and Director of ITS Planning, Finance and Administration. “We took this community feedback, evaluated the needs across the University, and determined it was clear we needed to obtain a site license in order to provide cost-effective technology to support the University’s rapid system growth and need to modernize many systems.”
