OCS is becoming the dominant product for large-scale collaboration — blending core functions of e-mail, file serving, and diary management with the additional functionality of web conferencing, instant messaging, and wireless access. Pro Oracle Collaboration Suite 10g provides all you need to know to install and configure OCS for use, but this book is much more than a to-do list.

It covers the architecture of the server processes and the applications, giving you the theoretical background to take OCS beyond the basics. There's no need to worry if you're new to the Oracle database, Oracle Components for Java environment (OC4J), HTTP web servers, or LDAP Internet directories — everything is explained carefully. But if you are already familiar with these topics, you'll learn how to fully exploit them in order to optimize your OCS installation.
