Oracle White Paper—Title of White Paper Here
Executive Overview
Oracle has made great strides in improving the database upgrade process over the past
several releases. The development effort required to upgrade, test, and verify an
application has been greatly reduced. Upgrading to Oracle Database 11g is faster,
easier, and much less risky than ever before.
Of course, just because it is easier to upgrade is not justification to do so. There has to
be compelling business reasons to consider upgrading a database. Return on
Investment (ROI) is the major criteria. However, determining the costs and benefits of
upgrading is difficult because they are both tangible and intangible. Tangible costs such
as hardware and licensing must be compared with intangible costs such as lower support
costs and more productivity for developers and database administrators.
The purpose of this paper is to discuss the key value propositions of Database 11g that
can help improve a business’s bottom line. This will help a business determine if the
value propositions and benefits are greater than the cost of upgrading.
