Compliance issues are very important on today’s business and when it comes to compliance Oracle got it all. Oracle Beehive takes one step further when it comes to security matters; Oracle Beehive provides strong security in terms of traditional access control, authorization, authentication, and auditing.

It doesn’t require a lot of hardware and simplify the maintenance aspects users could run this product even doesn’t have an expertise in system administration. Well I strongly recommend using Oracle Database its works well with Oracle Beehive. Oracle Beehive also support open standards and it was designed to coexist with legacy applications did you know that Oracle is the first enterprise software vendor that supports CalDAV- a new protocol for talking to calendar servers. Oracle Beehive is also third party friendly it allows users to access information through familiar tools such as Microsoft Outlook, Zimbra or Microsoft Windows Explorer.
