Oracle continues series of acquisitions

Oracle has revealed plans to acquire drug safety and risk management solutions provider Relsys.

Oracle plans to add the company to its Health Sciences global business unit, and details of the deal have not yet been disclosed.

The news comes in the wake of several expansions by Oracle in the past few months. In November, Oracle bought the intellectual property assets of Tacit Software.

Over September to October, the organisation expanded dramatically. It bought ClearApp, the application management solutions provider; Haley, the policy modelling and automation software provider; Primavera, project portfolio management software provider; and Advanced Visual Technology. In the same month, Oracle also entered into a number of partnerships; its Educational Foundation joined forces with Adobe Systems Inc. to help train students, and teamed up with Intel and Net Optics to provide Prevalidated Server Solutions.

The expansion is expected to continue in the coming months well into 2009. As a Oracle Certified Advantage Partner Inatech is able to adopted, implement and consolidate all new acquisitions and developments as part of Oracle's activities.
