Yahoo! today announced agreements with Oracle Corporation and Moreover Technologies that will enhance and extend the ability of My Yahoo! Enterprise Edition to bring business critical external content to even more users of corporate portals, intranets, and extranets.

Under the terms of the agreement with Oracle , My Yahoo! Enterprise Edition will now be available through the award-winning Oracle9i Application Server used by more than 16,000 organizations worldwide. This enables enterprise customers to access more than 100 pre-built portlets, featuring content from more than 2000 web and premium news and trade sources.

Through its agreement with Moreover Technologies, a leading provider of real time information management solutions, Yahoo! will add expanded enterprise content from more than 5,500 specialty Internet sites. With nearly 80 percent of workers turning to the Internet for daily information searches*, and corporations' central content buying expenditures reaching approximately $3,500 a year per employee for premium publications and content**, the goal of finding relevant business information has grown increasingly costly in both hours spent by employees and dollars spent by corporate information professionals.

My Yahoo! Enterprise Edition offers a much more affordable solution that delivers real-time business information from thousands of sources directly to corporate portals, such as those built on the Oracle9i Application Server platform. Workers receive information such as company and industry news, company performance and competitive updates in a familiar format that is easy to consume and apply to their daily tasks.

"My Yahoo! Enterprise Edition is about helping people find information faster, managing it more effectively, and ultimately allowing them to be more productive while saving corporate dollars," said Steve Boom, senior vice president, Yahoo! Enterprise Solutions. "Our new relationships with Oracle and Moreover will allow us to aggregate even more Web-based information that can be packaged and delivered directly to business users of one of the world's leading corporate portal platforms." My Yahoo! Enterprise Edition is a complete portal productivity suite of products and integrated services that combines a cost-effective solution for portal administrators and business content buyers. This package includes:

Content Sources: More than 7,500 information sources spanning Yahoo! properties, premium news and trade content and specialty Internet sites. Select industry packages provided through the Gale Group (a business of the Thomson Corporation) provide hundreds of premium business content sources for targeted vertical industries including: Financial Services and Banking, Government and Education, Healthcare and Pharmaceuticals, Manufacturing, and Technology (Computers, Telecommunications, Internet).

Content Integration: Thousands of information sources are aggregated, normalized, categorized and packaged into familiar My Yahoo! portlets before being directly delivered through a corporate portal to a worker's desktop.

Productivity Tools: Multi-level personalization and integration with Yahoo! Tools (Yahoo! Companion, Mail, Calendar, Maps, etc.) help workers immediately access information and relate that information to daily tasks.

Portal Integration: Pre-integration with leading portal platforms from BEA Systems, Oracle, SAP AG, Sun Microsystems, and TIBCO Software allows for seamless, instant-on access to critical external content through a corporate portal.

"Managing information content is a crucial component of the competitive success of every business," said Anthea Stratigios, President and CEO of Outsell Inc., a research and advisory service specializing in the information content industry. "My Yahoo! Enterprise Edition delivers a high-value, enterprise-class information product that is compelling to anyone responsible for deployment of their company's corporate portal or managing budgets for corporate information purchasing."
