Paul Jones

Oracle Corp. Monday unveiled its Portal Partner Initiative, beginning with ten flagship firms.

The new partners, Autonomy , EDS (NYSE:EDS), Ernst & Young, Factiva, InfoSpace (NASDAQ:INSP), iSyndicate, Net Perceptions , SiteScape, Verity (NASDAQ:VRTY) and WebEx, will provide content and applications for enterprise portals built on the Oracle Enterprise Portal framework.

Partners who join the Oracle (NASDAQ:ORCL) Portal Partner Initiative will receive technology, training and support--all based on Oracle's Enterprise Portal.

One faction of the plan includes the FastForward Enterprise Portal solution, an application built on Oracle's database, Oracle8i, and Oracle WebDB, Oracle's portal building tool. The initiative marks the first fixed-time, one-price solution available in the market for portal development.
